Just an ordinary man

Giovanni Bertini

Beschreibung

Cacciato di casa e con il cuore a pezzi, Mario vaga per una Genova che improvvisamente gli appare estranea. Trova rifugio nella stazione, dove l'incontro con due donne, l'enigmatica "Signora" e la provocatoria Cinzia, apre squarci inaspettati su una vita che credeva ormai conclusa.  
 
Tra la nostalgia di un amore perduto e la possibilità di una nuova felicità, Mario affronta il dolore dell'abbandono, la paura del futuro e oscuri segreti che lo trascinano in un vortice di eventi pericolosi. "Solo un uomo ordinario" è un romanzo che esplora con stile asciutto e realistico la complessità dell'animo umano e la fragilità dei rapporti, sullo sfondo di una Genova suggestiva e decadente. Un viaggio nell'intimità di un uomo in cerca di riscatto, tra le luci e le ombre di una città che custodisce i suoi segreti.
