Through a series of stories set in the Mediterranean, the author reflects on how stories, retold and reworked over time, end up becoming unquestionable realities for communities. A book that invites us to question the nature of truth and the power of storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book gathers a collection of stories that explore the phenomenon of falsehoods that become shared truths. Each tale, set in different places around the Mediterranean, presents situations where it is difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is an invention. The author examines how these narratives, often embellished over time, become consolidated as a fundamental part of personal and collective identity, questioning the solidity of our historical and cultural benchmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of truth and fiction in oral tradition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollective memory and its transformation through narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural identity and the foundational myths of Mediterranean communities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe power of storytelling to shape personal and social reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in short fiction that explores collective psychology and the construction of contemporary myths.
