About This Book

The narrative records an elderly Sardinian outlaw's extended first-person confession, dictated to a writer who frames it with historical notes on banditry in Logudoro; the man recounts his origins, the grievances and personal losses that led him to a life on the run, his relations with other notorious brigands, specific episodes of violence and solidarity, and decades of solitude and pursuit by authorities. The writer preserves the speaker's vernacular and chronology, interjecting brief explanatory notes and location sketches, so the text juxtaposes intimate memoir, social observation, and regional detail while probing the personal and structural causes that sustained banditry.
