About This Book

La narrazione in prima persona ricostruisce la vita di un bandito sardo, alternando ricordi di gioventù e lavoro agricolo, resoconti delle scorrerie e dei compagni caduti, e riflessioni morali su vizi, prudenza e vendetta. L’autore descrive la separazione dalla moglie, relazioni clandestine con giovani contadine durante la mietitura, i pettegolezzi e le nozze che seguono, e il persistere di legami segreti. I capitoli intrecciano episodi di vita rurale con cenni storici sul fenomeno del banditismo nel Logudoro, mostrando come povertà, onore e destino influenzino le scelte individuali.
