Title : In the veins this river of silver - Dario Franceschini - Book
Summary :
As his life approaches its autumn, Primo Bottardi decides to return to the places of his youth and find a friend who had asked him forty years earlier a question he had been unable to answer. His journey takes him back to the banks of the Po, among the sturgeon fishermen, in an atmosphere of mist and water that transforms the plain into an infinite mirage. The immemorial presence of the river permeates the actions of men. It nourishes their lives, insinuates itself into their dreams and sometimes seizes them with fear or terror, until the final tragedy which gives the story the definitive accents of myth. One could speak of this novel as "magical realism". The slowness of the journey, the picturesqueness of the characters, the sweetness of the encounters and the spell of many episodes contrast with the silent and obscure pressure of destiny that one feels weigh dully and which will finally reveal its face in an unforgettable and devastating scene.
