About this ebook
The Tango phenomenon today is a reality for the whole world, involving people from all walks of life on three continents: Asia, America, and Africa.
The author has asked herself the reason for this 'retrieval' of the Tango, in particular, the dance. Why are people from all over the world going to the 'milongas'? A question that leads her into an interior journey, an experience of awareness, in search of the essence, the "spirit of Tango that expresses the impulses of a universal soul," talking about sudden afflictions, an underlying melancholy, of loss and nostalgia but with also a personal capacity for regeneration. Music has the power to overcome pain to accept the loss, the force to appreciate life to push forward in search of adapting to new values and new dimensions.
Using contemporary psychology, the author interprets the rites and myths of the Tango, unveiling the emotional process which, developing into an intimate and profound condition, takes us back to the sacredness of an encounter, the physical contact, an embrace, a disease which is today foreign to modern man, crushed by individualism. With the frantic routine of everyday life, what is there to be discovered through Tango? Something genuine, interior, profound, a moment of peace, an answer, even if only fleeting and mainly unwitting, to the feeling of emptiness. The Tango brings to the surface that profound communication that has today been buried by smothering wounds. In this world of crises, the choice of Tango by an uprooted humanity without points of reference represents the spirit's revenge and the soul's struggle to reclaim what has been torn away. The Tango, with its whole 'being,' is like an accusation of contemporary history. It highlights that Man should not remain entrapped in a life without meaning, suffocated by the shapeless mass of nothingness.

Rosa Ucci, nata a Lanciano (CH) nel 1946, si è laureata in Scienze Politiche a Bologna e in Psicologia Applicata a “La Sapienza” di Roma. Dopo un’esperienza ventennale di insegnamento, si è dedicata alla libera professione di psicologa e psicoterapeuta, porgendo particolare attenzione ai problemi dello sviluppo della personalità femminile nella sua espressione individuale e sociale.

L’incontro con il tango, durante un viaggio in Argentina nel 1992, segna l’inizio di un interesse che condurrà alla originale intuizione sul significato profondo del tango, espresso in tutte le sue sottili e intime sfumature nel testo Nostalgia, tradimento, amore. Viaggio all’interno del Tango, nato nei locali di una Buenos Aires non turistica, dove il ballo è vissuto ancora nel suo originario significato di trasformazione del dolore in sentimento vitale.
