Book Description
Canale Mussolini è l'asse portante su cui si regge la bonifica delle Paludi Pontine. I suoi argini sono scanditi da eucalypti immensi che assorbono l'acqua e prosciugano i campi, alle sue cascatelle i ragazzini fanno il bagno e aironi bianchissimi trovano rifugio.

Book Description
The Mussolini Canal is one of the great achievements of contemporary Italian fiction. It spans 100 years of Italian history as seen through the lives of the Peruzzi family, who are among the 30,000 peasants from Northern Italy sent down to farm the newly-drained Pontine Marshes outside Rome in the 1930s. Mussolini is revered by the Peruzzi family, who must reconcile their admiration for Il Duce with the failings of Fascism which slowly envelop them. Contemporary events permeate the book and the hardship and misery of earlier periods are seen against the background of modern prosperity. It won the Strega prize in 2010 in Italy and has sold over 400,000 copies in Italy

Book Description
Les Peruzzi: dix-sept frères et soeurs, une tribu. Des paysans sans terre, tendance marxiste, à la tête dure et au sang chaud. Parce qu’un certain Benito Mussolini est un ami de la famille, ils abandonnent le rouge pour le noir. En 1932, avec trente mille autres affamés, ils émigrent dans les marais Pontins, au sud de Rome, où démarre le chantier le plus spectaculaire de la dictature. Huit ans sont nécessaires pour creuser un gigantesque canal, assécher sept cents kilomètres carrés de bourbiers infestés de moustiques et bâtir des villes nouvelles. Enfin, les Peruzzi deviennent propriétaires de leurs domaines. Mais tandis que l’histoire emporte les aînés dans le tourbillon des conquêtes coloniales et de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, au Canal, les abeilles d’Armida, l’ensorcelante femme de Pericle, prédisent un sombre avenir. Entre chronique et farce, Pennacchi signe un roman époustouflant où la saga d’une famille sur trois générations croise un demi-siècle de l’histoire italienne.
