Florence, November 1, 2016 - A novel ensemble, coming out from the board of the '"hero" that drags the others, but suspended between history and fiction, leads the reader from Rome to Istanbul to Mosul, on the border between Turks and Chaldean , Kurds and Iraqis, while in 86 the raging war between Iran and Iraq and a group of Chaldean refugees from Mosul, where fighting in recent days for the liberation of the city from Daesh, the future look fleeing across the border before reaching Canada . E 'was presented at the Oblate Library, the' Exodus novel in the shade 'by Michele Brancale, with speeches by Giuseppe Panella, a professor in the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa Giuliano Ladolfi, literary critic and editor, writers Julius Greek, Gangemi and Sebastiana Paola Lucarini, coordinator of 'look and dream' that the association with the 'Libristi' has promoted the meeting.

"The exodus in the shade - noted Gangemi - involves hundreds of Chaldean and is inevitably influenced by a number of variables first of all the military operations and the international arena". Orhan, agent of MIT, the Turkish intelligence services, investigating on the assassination to the synagogue in Istanbul took place in September of 1986 and is ordered to closely monitor operation of an Italian association, the Hope International Committee, which must carry on the passage of a group of Chaldean from the border with Iraq, because it is good not to forget "the Chaldeans may go down, but on our terms."

The narrative takes place along the lines of a story of action, the chapters written in a dry and essential language fast flowing like the frames of a big screen film. Many scenes "one another in speed but in which are condensed centuries of history and conflicts never resolved in a geographic area where there is interweaving the stories of many different peoples, Armenians, Turks, Kurds, Iranians, Iraqis, Chaldeans". A fast pace that is pressing, dictated mostly by the events of the war in progress "that will inevitably affect the operation by passing the 150 and beyond Chaldeans who were defeated by the Turks and reported in the land of Iraq, bordering the mountains, where to act as interlocutor smugglers are also Kurds. A fast pace that sometimes lingers and opens insights which project us into the lives of some characters we meet in this journey. " They come out of great literary intensity pages "on which to return, pages that give a face to those who in daily bulletins are only given through numerical expressions, pages that bring us closer to the pain of people who are representative of a humanity forced to face the difficulties of war".

"Exodus in the shade - according Giuseppe Panella - is the novel written by a poet, is the book of someone who knows that words have their weight. It 'a book of salvation, characterized by a never baroque writing, a novel rooted in reality but which responds to a precise narrative strategy and has in view something that is outside, fulfilling a function of truth. Paola Lucarini took Ladolfi with some aspects that inspire the story told, from a rootedness of the people in the prophecies. The writer is sensitized by a central core, for Ladolfi: is the picture that Jesus makes of himself when he says "I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Innervated through a texture from a part of the historical novel on fees and on the other that of the spy story, Brancale feels like the set of movements of history there are people and that each has a name and is the owner of a precious story.
