Biographie de l'auteur :
Niccolò Capponi has lived in Florence more or less his entire life – if one excludes the time wasted doing military service, and a rewarding two-month fellowship at Yale. He earned his Ph.D. in Military History at the University of Padua, Italy, and is an alumnus of the Medici Archive Project. His publications include a revisionist book on the battle of Lepanto, an iconoclastic biography of Machiavelli and an oblique study of the battle of Anghiari. He lives in Florence, dividing his time between freelance historical writing and victimizing those unfortunate undergraduates, reckless enough to take one of the courses he teaches at American university study abroad programs in his native city.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
August 1944, in war-torn Italy. A chance-meeting of three soldiers from different countries, leads to unexpected developments, memory, beauty, and music forcing each of them to question their own embedded beliefs. Not quite history, and not just fiction, Interludio is simmply a story, with its rythms, pauses, twists and turns. Because reality feeds on imagination, and only the imaginary can bring concretness to life.
