Through three generations marked by loss, betrayal, and uprootedness, Marcello Fois weaves a corrosive story about how progress devours the old. The reader will find a tale with a dense atmosphere and sharp prose that explores the extinction of a lineage and the quiet violence of an era of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel focuses on the decadence of the Chironi lineage, a family from Nuoro, Sardinia. The elderly tzia Marianna, the last conscious pillar of the saga, awaits death while watching her lineage fade away. Her grandnephew Cristian, driven by a betrayal, leaves the island and disappears into the sea, repeating the fate of his uncle Gavino. In parallel, the story follows Luigi Ippolito, a child raised without roots who becomes the final instrument to seal the extinction of this lineage. Set in 1970s Sardinia, a time of speculation and economic boom, the work portrays how ruthless progress creates uprooted beings and acts as the executioner of an anachronistic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe extinction of a lineage and the end of a traditional way of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUprootedness and the loss of identity in a society in transformation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe underlying violence of economic progress and speculation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between individual destiny and the relentless force of family history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the \"perfect executioner\": an individual without roots who carries out the end of a lineage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary European narrative with strong roots in the landscape and culture of a specific region.
