Set in Sardinia, this is a legal mystery seen through the eyes of a judge investigating a colleague's death, with the human relationships beneath the case gradually coming into focus. Against a background of political tension, the novel quietly weighs the feel of truth against the instability of judgment.

Death is both a case and a door into the island's memory.

Centered on Foscolo, Leopardi, and Manzoni, this essay collection traces the formation of modern Italian literature from a historical and critical perspective. It rereads each writer not as an isolated master, but through the intersections of language, region, and thought.

It reconsiders modern Italian literature as a network of relations rather than a list of great figures.
