"I read the book and Cooper" Made in Nirvana "slowly .... I realized from the prologue that the" knit and purl " awoke something in me, something was telling me: “Carry on, you are in it yourself!” I was intrigued and perhaps a bit hesitant, because I perceived I was approaching a distant memory, but I continued and dived into a fantastic journey full of "magic" Maria, with her doubts, insecurity and curiosity leads us to reflect on who we are and what we seek. Slowly, a transformation takes place: the first approach with a country with different culture and the encounter with Buddhism give birth to a seed that germinates. It is the story of all of us, different each time but similar... knit purl, knit purl! The pain is no longer seen as destruction but as an opportunity to improve, to grow from within. On page 59 of Made in Nirvana I read ..... ‘we can decide how to respond to any situation that presents to us. And that’s where we have the freedom to choose, like at a crossroads. ‘ Maria’s courage and conviction falters at times but she shows us that we can overcome obstacles and win... obstacles become benefits. I finished the book and I felt a great sense of peace and joy and I have talked to friends, acquaintances and fellow believers with great enthusiasm. I recommend it to everyone but particularly to young people and anyway, once you have read page 1 you are never going to feel bored. Definitely is a wonderful journey!!!!!! Thanks Emanuela C. and carry on writing!”

AuthorBorn in Treviso on the 18th November 1953, Emanuela Cooper studies foreign languages at the College for Tourism in Venice and later Political Science at Padua University. Following a rather extreme existential crisis, towards the end of the 70s, she decides to travel to India ‘to have a look’ and, with any luck, find herself. Made in Nirvana is inspired by the first two trips to India, where Emanuela Cooper returns many times, living there for six years. A big part of the story of Made in Nirvana is based on her personal experience, while the other part is fruit of her vivid imagination. What may appear as invented has probably really happened, and vice versa! Archives
