Este no es un libro común y corriente. Está lleno de melancolía y dudas.
Arturo es un niño que ha crecido bajo la sombra de su padre, idolatrándolo y amándolo, pero también anhelando su cariño de vuelta.
Leí - antes de terminar el libro- que algunos clasifican esta novela como erotica y puedo decir que sí, pero no como lo piensan: sino que habla de la intimidad y pensamientos de una forma muy a flor de piel, se basa el camino de descubrir lo que trae la adolescencia y la adultez, y, por parte de Arturo: lo qué son las mujeres para él y darle vuelta al concepto que tiene de ellas, muy influenciado por su padre y su hogar.
Está narrada de una forma exquisita, puede parecer algo denso al principio porque no entiendes muy bien a dónde va, pero la verdad es que no tiene un objetivo fijo esta historia: es crecimiento junto al personaje y su dudas sobre como enfrentar la vida.
Muy bueno el libro, único y algo muy nuevo para mi.

L’isola in cui nasce e cresce Arturo non solo come luogo fisico, ma anche mentale. Tutto quello che c’è oltre quel mare non esiste. Proprio come spesso, durante la formazione e l’adolescenza, non esiste nulla al di fuori del proprio Io e delle proprie sensazioni.
Che meraviglioso viaggio all’interno del cuore di Arturo.

I was a bad reader. This is a beautiful book, but I never settled down into it. I was constantly impatient.
The story of Arturo, a 14-yr old boy raised on an island off Naples, Italy, named Procida, by an absent father. Left on his own in a large house on the island, there is no education other than a lot of books in the house, a dog, and the island to roam. And a hired nurse, Silvestro, who nursed him on fresh milk and took care of him when he was younger, but has gone off to join Italian army. His mother died in childbirth. His father only visits occasionally, and randomly. The untethered Arturo, bound only by his island, has a rough transition into puberty as his father marries a 16-yr-old uneducated Neapolitan girl, and leaves her in the house with Arturo.
