In a high mountain valley lives a sullen old man. Adelmo Farandola is used to solitude. Nothing can disturb the rhythm of his simple life. But his memory begins to fail him and he finds himself trapped in his own hallucinations. One day he is visited by an old dog who pesters him with questions. And a foot appears from under the snow, ready to tell his story. Has he committed a crime he has forgotten about? Claudio Morandini has created a phantasmagorical book about loneliness, life and death. It is a story about how man tries to protect himself from the harsh world, but it still throws the mind into chaos. Realistic descriptions are interspersed with dialog filled with irony and grotesque. In an instant, the author switches registers to let the reader decide for himself whether to believe this plausibly implausible story.
