Two tables in the shade of history.

Latest books Erri de Luca had not seduced me, but I found wrong with the writing of a specific soldier, poetic, rough language and almost sensual. The mistake of the soldier is a story in two voices: the human voice, that of a translator and Yiddish lovers, and the voice of a young woman, daughter of a war criminal. The men of this short story writer and war criminal without remorse, approach Yiddish different angles, which shape their lives and their "obsessions". This story mainly offer fair portraits of a man and a woman, where past and present mingle in the shadow of an oppressive history. It is enough that this man and this woman sit "by chance" at two nearby tables in a hostel in the middle of the Dolomites, that will deliver their stories, and that a destiny unravels.
