The swan song of a great writer.
In his final book, Alberto Moravia takes his characters to the depths of central Africa. Under the hot sun and in the dark, tropical forests, he unfolds the love story of Lorenzo and Nora, she who is disturbed by another man, he who is consumed by the worm of jealousy. A reflection on the relationships between the two genders. How difficult it is to create a solid bond! Man cannot live without love, but loving often means hurting and suffering. And yet another reflection - in Africa, in the cradle of humanity - on life, love, and death, with a writing as beautiful and captivating as in no other book of his.
