Letto nel 2023 - Appassionante cronaca del viaggio di Baldassarre, un mercante di libri, alla ricerca di un libro speciale, il tutto raccontato dal protagonista tramite le pagine dei suoi quaderni, attraverserà l'impero ottomano, arrivando sino a Londra, la ricerca in realtà si trasformerà nella ricerca dell'amore, della felicità e del senso del mondo. Scritto in maniera delicata, dove il colpo di scena viene sempre anticipato dell'incipit degli appunti giornalieri. ( )

Descendiente de genoveses asentados en el Líbano, Baldassare Embriaco no logra sustraerse al clima generalizado de inquietud y emprende un viaje en busca de un libro que puede servir de protección en caso de que sobrevengan las catástrofes que se anuncian.

It's midday by the bells of the nearby church, and I shall now put down my pen for the last time, shut my notebook, put my writing things away, and open myself and the window wide to the sunshine and sounds of Genoa.
