Los Comienzos

A modern classic that inaugurates one of the most brilliant and unclassifiable cycles of European literature in recent decades: the Giochi dell'eternità trilogy. The Beginnings is the big bang of Antonio Moresco's narrative universe, a modern classic that established him as one of the great contemporary writers in the Italian language and that has earned him deserved comparisons with authors of the stature of Joyce, Proust and Cartarescu. In a dizzying succession of glimpsed places and events, in a metamorphosis that never ends, the protagonist lives at the same time one and three lives: he is, although never completely, a seminarian, a revolutionary and a writer. In this hypnotic masterpiece, poetry, comedy and tragedy intermingle in a maelstrom that assimilates the absurdity of existence to vindicate its beauty. A literary event: an intellectual journey to hell where the protagonist faces the times in which he lives without a compass or map.
