Hummingbirds. Veroneseri Sandro

Marco Carrera has an almost supernatural ability: he, like a small hummingbird, is able to remain completely motionless, while the world around him is inexorably and rapidly changing.

while fate will bring down again and again on Marco Testing, every time he, with the quiet heroism of a person living contrary, will find the strength to continue the fight in order to maintain his own staggering world in balance.

“Hummingbird” is an amazingly multifaceted novel: Soul and humane, like Betty Smith's books, hypnotizing and saturated, like Paul Oster and very Italian, like a saga of Helena Ferrante.
