Not an easy ready at all, aside for the number of pages, for the type of Italian language of 1974 and some dialect thrown in. But a great book, with La Storia effect on ordinary poor people and also two dogs (especially Bella - turns out one of the main characters for me)

Beautiful book including the end about what we get from our parents and can leave to the next generation

Read in a couple of a session between other books. One my favourite italian authors and adds interesting bit in his life (in particular about the realization of the banality of the fascist/monarchy rhetoric to the end).

Interessante anche perche' Padova e' la citta' in cui sono cresciuto e lo ho letto mentre sono in citta' per motivi familiari. Ho letto recensioni con accuse di strafalcioni storici, ma controllando un po' a caso io non ne ho trovati. Forse la fine un po' troppo bella ma Teresa anche se un personaggio inventato se lo e' meritato tutto!

Not because the scenario is impossible or the issue not to be discussed, but I remember mostly sex scenes and misogynist attitude from the main character which seem to justify the end point. Probably did not get the irony,
