Title : What the night tells the day - Hector Bianciotti - Book
Summary : For this book to exist, two continents were needed first, and for some Piedmontese, driven by poverty, to emigrate and clear a corner of this boundless plain called the pampas, where the center of the world moves with the man who walks. It was also necessary for a child, naturally destined for field work, to thwart his parents' plan and seize the only opportunity then offered to people of his condition: the seminary, where a jumble of special friendships, music, books, and the discovery of the French language awaited him. He was twelve years old. Over there, in Europe, the war was in full swing, while here, the dictatorship was established and prospered, soon to be that of Perón and Eva Duarte, under which no one escaped surveillance and denunciation. And it is the best friend who, suddenly revealing himself to be a high-ranking informer, and wanting to be forgiven, offers the former seminarian the saving boat ticket. Then begins the narrator's exile, his pockets empty, but in his heart, the certainty that, in the newfound freedom, life could, as for everyone, resemble a destiny.
