About the book: year / The first novel published by Adamo. A heartfelt story, more like a quiet chant about something deeply personal. That tune sounds in the edge of the plains, but in the circle of people who remember the hot sun of their native Sicily, where Salvatore Adamo and his Julien are from, whose ancestors, in search of a better life, once moved to the country of coal mines and fogs. This roguish, clownish, sentimental, a novel full of nostalgia, like its author, are trying to hide their easily vulnerable and sensitive soul in the peals of hoarse laughter... The book was not published in Russian, translated specifically for Flibusta.
