Al Jabal Al Thamania | Paolo Conte

Mountains are not only peaks, ice and adventures but also a way of life: when to leave a distance, when to retreat, when to advance and when to remain silent. ... > Someone said: We must not only leave to our children the achievements and events that changed history, but we must also record for them those daily tales, those small details that explain to them how we lived. In this novel, simple and profound at the same time, Conetti presents us with those small details, details of a friendship that spanned thirty years between those who lived in the city and wandered around the world and those who did not move from his small mountain village. To great heights, only to lead us to realize the little role we play in the panorama of life.” The Guardian English newspaper.
