Ci sfiorava il soffio delle valanghe

Year: 2003 Pages: 166 “I was married and had a small daughter, my marriage was moderately unhappy, but ultimately not that unhappy. I was looking for something. I was sure of this, I was looking for something because I was missing something... Eros hit me with his big axe. I found Nancy, the female half of the androgynous I had once been, Nancy, the college student. She had signed up for a climbing course that I held in Provence, on the aromatic cliffs of Provence..." Paleari's latest novel describes the mountaineering and sentimental adventures of Oreste, a mountain guide and ski instructor who has never attended courses nor obtained diplomas. The eruption of love for a young client into his life as a middle-aged man triggers a series of adventures, sometimes tragicomic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes grotesque, which are the opportunity for an overview of the world of modern mountaineering and on the modern world tout court.
