Rome, late 1960s. Leo Gazzarra, a native of Milan, has been living in the capital for many years, where he supports himself with casual earnings as a sports journalist. A lover of the sea, books and wine, he refused to participate in the general race for success, deciding that it was better to just watch life, and therefore devotes his free time to reading, walking and friendly conversations in bars and living rooms. On the evening of his thirtieth birthday, he meets the beautiful and sophisticated Arianna, whose fragile image will appear and recede, getting lost in the chiaroscuro of the Eternal City, indifferent and at the same time generous to its inhabitants — another hero of this exciting story about love and the fragility of all things. – The author masterfully conveys the spirit of Rome, a city that appears as a full—fledged hero of the narrative.– The plot focuses on eternal themes of love, loneliness and self—search.– The characters of the novel evoke a lively response due to their psychological authenticity.– The work has become a cult in Italy and has gained recognition in other countries.– The book is ideal for those who are looking for intelligent, atmospheric and expressive prose.
