Il cane di fuoco. Ventuno fiabe bio

A collection of stories that evoke fantastical worlds, where roses speak, mussels confess like ancient villains, and artichokes protest. Embodying Giambattista Basile's vivid oral tradition and a continuous interaction with the reader, the protagonist, Nello, engages in twenty-one journeys through three distinct phases of his life: as a child, intent on listening to the magical world of national fairy tales; as a young artist, traveling to discover unusual places and encounters with bizarre characters; and finally returning to a chatty and chaotic Naples, amidst the tales of storytellers and storytellers. In an age where extreme virtual communication seems to obliterate any inclination to listen, discover, and return, Massimo Andrei invites the reader into a bio-narrative using a style of writing characterized by intense exchanges between real, finally free people.
