Emiliano D'Alessandro

A book that returns us to a timeless place close by, in the souls of characters marked by the events that punctuate the plot.

A found manuscript opens the door to the inaccessible theme of the pursuance of truth at all costs. In another era, gossip, envy and scandals trace the telling of this allegorical and intangible novel, like the protagonists with their distorted masks. A stout provincial physician, a blacksmith, a priest, a pharmacist, a young married couple, a young girl ... and a deceptive parade of evidence and denials, brings us at a completely unexpected conclusion. A narrative in a seemingly distant context, however, mostly, it is a sad metaphor for the rumors that are at first ridiculed, then ravished and finally challenged. A melancholy tale concerning the inconsolable awareness of those who subsist only on their interpretations of the truth.
