Lunario del paraiso

In 1978, Gianni Celati published this legendary and hilarious novel. On an Italian beach, Giovanni falls in love with a young German girl, and he follows her to the Hamburg of the Beatles during the 60s. Here is a wandering philosopher, a gentlemanly lover but with a hole in his shoe, a poor man who philosophizes with depth through simple words. This bombastic and charming novel offers torrential humor and picaresque adventures of love at first sight.

Gianni Celati is a writer. He received a Ph.D. in English literature for his thesis about James Joyce, and he has translated authors such as Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain, and Herman Melville to Italian. His books include Comiche and Parlamenti buffi. He won the Viareggio prize in 2006.
