Il colibri

The hummingbird is an extraordinary bird, capable of remaining suspended in mid-air thanks to rapid wing beats that allow it to perform existential acrobatics. Marco Carrera, the protagonist of Sandro Veronesi's new novel, is the hummingbird. His life is marked by loss and pain, but he does not fall: he moves frantically to stay afloat and climb back up. "Il colibrì" is a novel about pain and the struggling strength of life, in which the characters are alive and pulsating, destined to become travel companions in the reader's life. Veronesi builds an entire world around Marco Carrera, a gallery of unforgettable characters that move between the early 1970s and our near future, in which the New Man will shine. "Il colibrì" is a book not to be missed for those who love deep and intense stories, capable of leaving an indelible mark on the reader's mind.
