The accidental death of the small Giuseppino marks the beginning of an unstoppable fall for a whole country. In a segment of reality that moves, that tears to pieces, so many characters fill the life of the village. Emilio, destroyed by the remorse for the death of Giuseppino. Pietro, upset by the epilepsy of his daughter. Geneva, fought among two loves and threatened by a terrible danger. Lucio, the deformed deaf and dumb that all fear. The powerful family Minghetti, the alone one to be able to decide in every moment the fate of the wells of extraction. Between foreshortenings of stupendous territories and archaic popular traditions, ropes of pain and punishment they tighten epic characters. An interlacement of love and hate, able to push the man toward an introspective trip from which it is difficult not to return changed. A choral novel, a thin and musical Italian Dubliners, whose last note, to end volume, plays again in an accord between the cruelty of the life and the possibility of ransom. Views: 208
