The Fundación Tres Culturas and Hoja de Lata Editorial are organising the presentation of the book Stylistics, the latest work by the Sardinian author Marcello Fois, who will be in conversation with the journalist and writer Alejandro Luque, on 22 February at 19.00.
Marcello Fois, representative of the best Sardinian tradition of Grazia Deledda and Salvatore Satta, inaugurates with Estirpe the saga of the Chironi family, a humble family of blacksmiths who progress in Sardinia at the end of the 19th century and who fate is determined to wipe off the face of the earth, against the backdrop of the Great War and the arrival of fascism.
