About This Book

La narrazione segue il funerale di Don Giovanni Verità e le discussioni in un paese diviso tra clericalismo conservatore, garibaldini e giovani socialisti, passando per aneddoti, accuse e ipocrisie locali. Il narratore, chiamato a rappresentare la comunità, racconta la preparazione alla commemorazione, la propria riluttanza e un presagio di sventura mentre osserva la meschinità dei sentimenti pubblici. Da questi episodi emergono riflessioni più ampie sulla débâcle dei moti parziali che precedettero il 48, sull'incapacità di coesione politica e sulla distanza tra ideali nazionali e pratiche quotidiane.
