Le pietre e il sale, Le vie del ritorno, Le colpevoli ambiguità di Herbert Markus, Angela prende il volo, L’altra sera, I fratelli minori: six novels, six stages of the same journey that led Enrico Palandri to tell private stories within the historical and social framework of the last forty years. His characters camp out, disappear and resurface from story to story, scattered and brought back together by life’s events, going through a long time of great changes, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the migration as a state of soul and a phenomenon that has changed our world. Venice, London and many other European cities, globalization and addictions, youthful passions and art, loves, children, families dissolved and recomposed, in balances that need to be reinvented every day: everything flows in a clear, rough and melancholic portrait, full of passion and compassion for exertion and joie de vivre.
