About the book: 2022 / Joe is an old man who masterfully performs Beethoven at train stations and airports. Every day, like a man possessed, Joe plays among the crowd of indifferent travelers. Perhaps he is waiting for someone. But who? Why is his game full of pain and desperate tenderness? What happened to him more than half a century ago, what does not allow him to stop playing day after day? Is it possible to forgive those who turned your youth into hell, full of injustice and cruelty? Is it possible to continue to believe, hope and love in spite of everything? “Devils and Saints” is a piercing novel about broken destinies and distorted childhood, about the ambiguity and complexity of the world, about love, loss and forgiveness, about music and the fact that how art is born from suffering and pain.
