I'll tell you, that scene hit me so deeply that it made me close the book that night. It gives us the suffering of a family, the bitterness of not being enough and finally the creation of something through lying. In fact, thanks to his prose, Livio manages to catapult us into a given year and make us perceive the poverty of that land of Tuscany. There is one scene in particular that I found heartbreaking. The characters demonstrate themselves through what they say, through their idiomatic expressions, even through their ways of speaking.īut there is much beyond that. Part of the hero's journey, or rather of the heroes in this case, takes place precisely through the lemma. The first question seems to have been stolen from a film “the 13th Warrior” rather than a Eternal War: Hell, but I assure you it is fit for purpose. What happens when we are faced with words that we should have said and we have not said? Actions not followed by words and promises not kept? Livio accompanies us in this last act showing what happens when the right words are uttered or when they are hidden. We often say that " verba volant, scripta manent"(" The words fly, the writings remain ") but, in this particular case, it is not entirely accurate.
