A pleasant and interesting book that tells the life with bitter irony in all its reality mixed episodes sometimes funny and sometimes terrible. The protagonists of the stories seem to come directly from Benni stories Pirandello then descend to the solitude of the modern age.
From the Cover:
The "book of the world" according to Stefano Benni. A comedian, seething hellish stories. A circus of virtue and iniquity. The noise of men. The silence that queries all star, silent heroes and charlatans of survival or abuse. A greek philosopher has said: "Among the gods that men invented, the most generous is that combining many solitudes makes a day of joy".
Description from Feltrinelli.it :
A dog too faithful coming back like a boomerang always the boss who wants him to leave, a powerful manager ready to do anything to bring the Beatles for a concert, a fanciful and romantic-back on a balding area in the suburbs, an arrogant and irredeemable businessman, a friar who chooses silence in order to feel closer to God but is overcome by the beauty a mute, a wicked old woman devoured by envy and hatred are just some of the protagonists in this collection of short stories.
