Da tutte le strade si alzeranno lamenti

by Kurt Vonnegut, Vincenzo Mantovani (Translator)

Overview

"Non colpite mai un uomo sopra la cintola quando potete prenderlo a calci sotto." Queste le parole di un addestratore al plotone che sta preparando per la guerra. E prendere l'umanità stessa "a calci sotto la cintola" è quello che accade quando si bombarda una città simbolo culturale, riducendola a polvere. Vonnegut torna tra le macerie di Dresda, già visitate nel suo capolavoro "Mattatoio n. 5", dritto al cuore della tragedia che lo segnò per sempre.

About the Author

Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) made his mark with his brilliant antiwar novel Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), published during the height of the protests against the Vietnam War. But he endured as a purveyor of mind-warping, surreal fiction that just so happened to be funny. In a career spanning over 50 years and numerous books, he published fourteen novels, including Breakfast of Champions and Cat's Cradle, three short story collections, five plays, and five works of non-fiction.
