New appointment with the literary review “Tramonti di parole” tomorrow, Friday 2 August, at Domina-Zagarella, in the evocative setting of the terrace overlooking the sea at Domina-Zagarella in Santa Flavia (Palermo).
The event, also organized under the patronage of the Municipality of Bagheria, sees the presentation of various books by journalists and others at the well-known seaside hotel.
Starting from 7.00 pm, the writer Claudia Lanteri presents the novel: “L’Isola e il tempo”, Einaudi-Unici. The journalist Miriam Di Peri will talk to her. Entrance is free. The event was promoted by the Sicilian Parliamentary Press Union in collaboration with the Domina hotel group of the Preatoni family, Innovation Island and Restart Palermo. The Sicilian Regional Assembly, the Presidency of the Sicilian Region, the Metropolitan City of Palermo and the Municipality of Bagheria granted patronage.
“L’Isola e il tempo” is a literary mystery outside of any canon and with a triple strength: an unusual structure, a tight rhythm and a rare pen. The key to the mystery is in the soul of the narrator. It’s not often that you come across books like this, alive, unsettling, due to the strength of the story and the writing. Imagine a volcanic island of wild beauty south of Sicily, on the threshold of the 1960s. And imagine the arrival of a little green boat with an exhausted castaway on board and the corpse of a woman, his wife. It is an event that breaks the quiet of that world, then slowly everyone returns to their life. But for the protagonist of The Island and time, those days, and the investigation that followed, are a subject to be told for thirty years to anyone who bothers to listen: women passing by, street urchins, tourists little by little they change the face of the island. Because in that handful of hours an unsolved enigma condenses first of all within him.
Claudia Lanteri was born in Caltanissetta. Her parents, who founded a theater company here, instilled in her a passion for stories from a very young age. After graduating in Modern Literature in Palermo, he continued his studies in Rome with a master’s degree for creative professions from the Luiss Business School.
