Not a book I would have expected to like very much, military history not being a big passion of mine. But I did like it--a lot. The discussions of historic battles between the historian and his student were quite interesting, as was the connection between military strategy and life. And the book as a whole was quite moving. ( ) Un colonnello trascorre la propria vita studiando i maestri dell'arte militare, preparandosi a quella che sarà "la sua battaglia" e credendo che la guerra possa essere soggetta alle leggi della razionalità. L'appuntamento con il destino è via via rimandato. Quando giungerà, l'ufficiale scoprirà che tutto ciò in cui ha creduto è solo illusione. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A rousingly romantic Mediterranean novel of love and war. 'Even more enchanting than Louis de Bernieres's Captain Correlli's Mandolin, Riotta's novel is a revelation' (Daily Mail). The Second World War has just ended, and Colonel Carlo Terzo, a brilliant military strategist, retires to Sicily with his beautiful Russian wife Emma. There he spends long afternoons tutoring two young lovers -- Salvatore, a poet, and the feisty, aristocratic Fiore. But the Terzo household becomes caught in a standoff between rebel peasants and the murderous private army of Fiore's malicious mother. Will Carlo finally be given the chance to measure his learning on a real battlefield? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
