The municipal library of Sardara, in collaboration with the Condilibriamo association, is pleased to present the latest work by the Cagliari writer Roberto Brughitta: “The chimes of Galusé” published by Amicolibro.

Don't miss the chance to experience a colorful blend of fantasy and reality set in central Sardinia, where the most sincere vestiges of our tradition survive unchanged.

We look forward to seeing you at the library, at Via Manzoni 7, on May 26th at 5:30 pm.

 

We are in Tonara in the early 1980s; the placid existence of Giacu the "sonaggiargiu" (cowbell maker) is disturbed by the unexpected return to the village of Atalaia, his once beloved sister, with whom his relationship had abruptly ended years earlier. The woman's arrival, bringing with her her son Luciano, will be destined to change the course of Giacu's life and force him to reckon with a past he had until then been unaware of. The story is accompanied by the rhythmic tolling of Giacu's cowbells, which Roberto describes with his characteristic sensitivity and effectiveness. A true ancestral language with mysterious inflections that will bring Luciano closer to an uncle who seems so different from him. (taken from www.ibs.it)
