Ombra e rivoluzione. Variazioni sul naturalista Domenico Cirillo

A novel that recreates the many facets of eighteenth-century Naples and the complex personality of Domenico Cirillo (1739-1799), physician, botanist, and revolutionary; but it is also the story of a researcher immersed in a profound crisis, who leaves everything to study Cirillo's life, convinced he will find some way out. Past and present alternate in a hall of mirrors, different voices following one another like musical variations on a single theme, a single question: is personal transformation possible? Can one transcend the limits imposed by circumstances?
