| Summary: | Volponi has never published a book of tales, but has written short stories in several stages of his life. This volume collects them all. From Annibale Rama, centered on the development of a personal computer (in 1965!) To Accingersi all'impresa, the story of an antiquarian obsessed with the search for original copper plates of some engravings of the Canaletto; from La fonte, the story of a more violent and fierce world than ever during the plague in Siena in 1348, to Iride, a beautiful portrait of a woman (a trade unionist who lives alone in a popular district of Milan). And then cruel fables, political-philosophical apologists and tales of youth. |
