review 1: An Italian classic. The story of a young boy who in the midst of the partisan war took time off to find out whether his best friend had betrayed him with the girl of his dreams. An amazingly adventurous and epic walk through the misty mountains, always in the shooting field of fascist militia and a passionately disturbed mind: Miltons sufferings are not small. I liked this short novel, but I'm sure that it 'll strike an even clearer chord with Italian readers, given the historic context: After the capitulation of Italy in 1943 and the demission of Mussolini the country went through a tough period. Hitler's army answered with a brutal occupation of the north, Mussolini and his blackshirts stroke back ruthlessly after the humiliation. The conflict made deep cuts in Itali... morean society and partisan resistance was among the fiercest in Europe. The overwhelming power of love makes it also appealing for young readers
review 2: Quando si � innamorati anche le cose pi� importanti passano in secondo piano, e cos� inizia la ricerca della verit�, della propria verit�, tra guerra, morte, pioggia sulle colline intorno ad Alba in un circolo che si richiude in se stesso. Basta con i partigiani, disse Fenoglio, eppure questa � la storia della resistenza, fatta di tanti ragazzi, cos�, tante questioni private che con le loro storie fanno la nostra memoria. less
