Finally an audio book in Italian whose quality - both technical and artistic - was up to par with the average English titles I’ve read.
Sepúlveda’s novel (The Old Man Who Read Love Stories) is both funny and tense. The old man of the title lives in a mostly still pristine part of the world, the ever shrinking edge of the fascinating Amazon forest, where he leads a quiet life in the company of the books he’s able to find via a trusted friend.
While dealing with a current problem in the village, we’re recounted parts of his very adventurous life that led him to be the man he is today.
I enjoyed this short novel very much. This old man cherishing his books made me want to read even more.
Grade: 8
