Fumando una sigaretta

Di Riccardo Maffey

Emotion prevails over reason and common sense in the years of the Nazi occupation of Italy as well as in our own day. Stefano, a soldier, Brando, a historian: two lives so far away from each other and yet so similar as to the individual choices having a tragic bearing upon them. A love-and-war novel that in the time span of a cigarette’s smoke shows itself to be a story of human contradictions.
