Сын часовщика

Bolʹshai͡a istorii͡a podobna voronke, kotorai͡a pogloshchaet li͡udeĭ, - ėto khorosho znai͡ut rovesniki KhKh veka, poi͡avivshiesi͡a na svet dli͡a novoĭ prekrasnoĭ zhizni, no popavshie v samye dramaticheskie obstoi͡atelʹstva. Velikolepnyĭ Marko Balʹt͡sano vsmatrivaetsi͡a v Italii͡u vremen pravlenii͡a Mussolini. Ego geroĭ, rodivshiĭsi͡a v 1900 godu - molodoĭ chelovek, a zatem i vzroslyĭ muzhchina, s angelʹskim lit͡som i svetlymi volosami, poluchivshiĭ prozvishche Malysh. On bezuteshno ishchet matʹ, vedʹ ego otet͡s, prostoĭ chasovshchik iz Triesta, ne zhelaet nichego o neĭ rasskazyvatʹ. Kazhetsi͡a, v svoikh poiskakh Malysh dokhodit do samogo strashnogo i berët v ruki oruzhie. No razve dazhe tam, gde razvorachivaetsi͡a beskompromissnai͡a borʹba za vyzhivanie, ne ostaetsi͡a mesta dli͡a ochishchai͡ushchego sveta roditelʹskoĭ li͡ubvi?

A big story is like a funnel that swallows people, as the twentieth—century peers who were born into a new and wonderful life, but who found themselves in the most dramatic circumstances, know well. The magnificent Marco Balzano looks at Italy during the reign of Mussolini. His hero, born in 1900, is a young man, and then an adult man, with an angelic face and blond hair, who received the nickname Kid. He is desperately looking for his mother, because his father, a simple watchmaker from Trieste, does not want to tell anything about her. It seems that in his search, the Kid comes to the most terrible thing and takes up arms. But isn't there room for the cleansing light of parental love even where an uncompromising struggle for survival is unfolding?
