Сицилия 1860 г. Плебисцит санкционирует окончательное присоединение острова к зарождающемуся Королевству Италия. Несколько лет спустя в Галати ди Торторичи (нынешний Галати Мамертино) оккультная монахиня с особой тщательностью написала в церковной книге пользующийся большим спросом, дневник местного разбойника, который во главе вооруженной банды более трех лет упорно сражался с савойскими войсками. Разгром мятежников не успокоил охоту за рукописью, напротив, она достигла неожиданных моментов жестокости. Но что было в этом дневнике столь компрометирующего, что его так упорно искали? После увлекательных историй «Это была моя Страна» (2014) и «Сицилитудине» (2016) Криштиану Парафиорити этим захватывающим историческим романом завершает свою «Трилогию происхождения». Пурпурные истории о крови и любви, усеянные яростными битвами оружия и страсти, переплетаются, неумолимо ведя всех главных героев этих изношенных страниц к неизбежной и кровавой схватке.

One evening, on his way to fetch water from the trough with his sister Concetta, the latter reveals to him the love interest of his cousin Lina. Ture does not reciprocate the young woman’s feelings, but on that occasion, he is struck by the beauty of Lina’s younger sister, Rosa. A few days later, Ture declares his love for her, and Rosa confesses that she, too, has secretly loved him for more than a year.

Invictus

Sicily 1860. A plebiscite declared the final annexation of the island to the newly born Kingdom of Italy. A few years later, in Galati di Tortorici (now Galati Mamertino), an unknown Poor Clare nun carefully hid inside an ecclesiastical book the much-wanted diary of a local bandit. Leader of an armed band, he had tenaciously fought the Savoy troops for more than three years. The rebels' defeat had not calmed the hunt for the handwritten book, which had reached unimaginable heinous heights. But what was so compromising about the diary to become so fiercely hunted?
After the engaging short stories of Era il mio paese (2014) and Sicilitudine (2016), Cristiano Parafioriti concludes his Trilogy of Origins with this compelling historical novel. Punctuated by raging battles of arms and passion, red stories of blood and love intertwine, leading all the characters of those worn-out pages inevitably to an unavoidable and bloody final confrontation.
