Book Description
Pierre plunged into the subway. A feverish, a brutal crowd. On his feet near the door, closely pressed in a bank of human bodies and sharing the heavy atmosphere passing in and out of their mouths, he stared without seeing them at the black and rumbling vaults over which flickered the shining eyes of the train. The same heavy shadows lay in his mind, the same gleams, hard and tremulous. Suffocating in the raised collar of his overcoat, his arms jammed against his sides and his lips compressed, his forehead damp with perspiration momentarily cooled by a current from outside when the door opened, he tried hard not to see, he tried not to breathe, he tried not to live. The heart of this young fellow of eighteen, still almost a child, was full of a dull despair. Above his head, above the shadows of these long vaulted ways, of this rat-run through which the monster of metal whirled, all swarming with human masks—was Paris, the snow, the cold January darkness, the nightmare of life and of death—the war.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pierre and Luce In every growing youth between sixteen and eighteen there is a bit of the soul of Hamlet. Don't ask him to understand the war! (all right for you men, who have had your fill!) He has all he can do to understand life and forgive its existence. As a rule he digs himself in with his dream and with the arts, until the time comes when he has got used to his incarnation, and the grub has achieved its agonizing passage from larva to winged insect. What a need be has for peace and meditation during these April days so full of the trouble of maturing life! But they come after him to the bot tom Of his burrow, look him up, drag him from the dark while still so tender in his new-made skin. They toss him into the raw air amongst the hard human race whose follies and hatreds he is expected at the very first moment to accept without understanding them and, not understanding, to atone for them.

Book Description
Marco è un uomo che va verso la mezza età e la sua vita scorre grigia nella routine di tutti i giorni; ha un matrimonio fallito alle spalle e un figlio adolescente. Un giorno, per caso, incontra Luce, una splendida donna, anch'essa divorziata e con una figlia, e la sua vita si accende di colori brillanti. Riscopre il gusto di vivere e, finalmente, riesce ad amare incondizionatamente: è un uomo felice. Comincia così una storia che lo fa tornare indietro nel tempo, alla sua giovinezza, colma di speranza e aspettative, ma inizia anche una battaglia per conquistare e consolidare la relazione con Luce. Non sarà facile gestire la distanza, il lavoro e i figli ma in palio c'è il compimento del suo grande sogno: costruire un legame che duri nel tempo e avere finalmente una famiglia vera. Le cose sembrano funzionare, la loro relazione è piena della serenità e della gioia che derivano dallo stare bene insieme e, a poco a poco, Marco si convince di avere veramente la possibilità di realizzare la sua vita.
