Two men go walking in the Dolomites, but not together; one falls to his death, the other reports the body. Is it coincidence that they knew each other in earlier years, and that one had betrayed the other?
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Erri De Luca is an award-winning writer, poet and activist whose literary awards include the Prix André Malraux, the European Book Prize and the European Prize for Literature. The author of more than seventy books translated into more than thirty languages, he has been called 'the writer of the decade' by Corriere della Sera. A dedicated mountain climber, he lives a reclusive life in the hills surrounding Rome.
N.S. Thompson is a poet and critic and translator of Italian fiction and poetry. He has worked as a gardener and museum curator in Italy and as an academic and creative writing tutor in Oxford.
One morning, high in the Dolomite mountains, two people hike at some distance apart. The path in places is narrow and perilous. One man falls to his death. The other sounds the alarm. But these men are not strangers. Members of the same revolutionary group forty years earlier, the first had betrayed the second, who must now hold his own against a young magistrate intent upon having him tried for murder.
Was their meeting an improbable encounter, or an impossible coincidence?
Impossible is a brilliant hymn to the lure of the mountains, an engrossing illumination of political brotherhood, and also the subtlest of detective stories.
"A unique and remarkable novel" La Croix
"If there's an entry point into the work of the enduring, award-winning Italian writer Erri De Luca, then N.S. Thompson's excellent translation is surely it . . . Thoughtful and wise about life and landscape, it's the most cerebral of whodunnits" Observer
