Ten years have passed since the disturbing events in Turin, but it remains unclear exactly what happened. An insomnia epidemic, strange noises at night, brutal murders, mysterious figures in the alleys, reminiscent of living monuments... A modest employee of a Turin office, as if straight out of a Kafka novel, attempts to solve long-standing crimes and finally shed light on the city's greatest mystery. His investigation leads him into the basements of the building that once housed the Library—a place not usually spoken of. Ten years ago, people from all over the city brought manuscripts containing their deepest secrets and confessions to the Library, and anyone could read them... Gradually, the amateur detective realizes that the horror of the Twenty Days hasn't gone away—it still haunts the dark streets of Turin and could return to its old ways at any moment...

"Twenty Days in the Life of Turin" is a gem of Italian mystical prose, reminiscent of the works of Kafka, Borges, and H. P. Lovecraft. It is a small literary masterpiece created in 1976 by the writer and musician Giorgio De Maria, a friend of Italo Calvino.
