If any man, even vulgar, I knew telling his own life, wrote one of the greatest novels ever written. "Giovanni Papini
inexhaustible genius of the great Italian writer Giovanni Papini , whose mere presence fills almost half a century of European literature, offers us with THE BLACK BOOK, an exhibition of his prodigious talent unsurpassed, who knows how to harmonize the wildest satire with a touching lyricism, the more biting humor with the diagnosis precisely the evils of our time.
THE BLACK BOOK is a true character parade (Molotov, Picasso, Wright, Dalí, Hitler, Valery, Huxley, Marconi, Lorca, Voronov) and other wholly imaginary: its plot is the exposure of political, moral, social, psychological and theological, developed with the insight and depth of the author of "History of Christ "and" The Devil. "
Papini, in its preliminary warning, justifies the title of his work, which has some bearing on the pages of "Gog": "I put that title, chosen only for me, because the leaves of the new journal under almost every one of darkest ages of human history, or the years of the last war and postwar period. "
THE BLACK BOOK is a work that read with real passion, which subdues the outset, and can not leave until we have finished this wonderful journey through time and space.
