This new book I wrote, Il cedro del libano, is composed of three stories. The first, which gives the book its title, is a short novel and a Bildungsroman. But it does not stop with pure adventure training of the protagonist. Goes further. Peter Wind faces his life and his illness as an opportunity, with the help of great friends and artists little friends who will become his heroes. Peter discovers the greatness of the meetings, handshakes and hugs.
The second, Faccialibro, is a very short story, the style of Raymond Carver: a brief reflection on the world today.
The third story, we none, is the story of two writers who live intensely, step by step, their friendship in the world of literature and in everyday life, without discounts. It is a modern fairy tale, but an antique flavor.
There is a thread that binds all three stories: the desire inherent in every man; the desire to return to dream, with his feet firmly planted on the ground; the value of friendship, of family, of being valued and then to exploit. In a word, this book exudes estimate.
