Sette racconti, tutti ambientati nel corso degli ultimi decenni dello scorso millennio.Sette racconti, tutti ambientati nel corso degli ultimi decenni dello scorso millennio: In “Polvere per costruire montagne” seguiamo un giovane apprendista industriale erede, o presunto tale, d’uno stabilimento per la produzione di giocattoli e prodotti per modellismo, nell’Italia del boom economico dei primi anni ‘60, che si scontra con pregiudizi e cattiverie, con false apparenze e la megalomania altrui. Ne “Il Vero e il Verosimile” incontriamo le vicissitudini familiari drammatiche e insieme grottesche d’un uomo che, secondo alcuni, è un farabutto, per altri è invece, addirittura, un santo. In “La perdita” osserviamo le fasi tragicomiche della disavventura d’un modesto pensionato alle prese con un’irrefrenabile perdita idrica nel locale che, angosciosamente, vorrebbe affittare per arrotondare la sua magra pensione. “La Verità, il suo nemico e padre Paul” considera che non in tutti i conventi si può vivere sempre e soltanto in pace e preghiera, soprattutto se entrano in gioco, a un certo punto, rapporti di lavoro e sindacali. “La Ragione dei Segni” vuol dimostrare la grande importanza di certe piccole coincidenze, di quelle apparenti casualità che possono modificare radicalmente una vita; e non diversamente è per il successivo racconto “Cane fantasma”; infine, nel breve ”Il bene di Médeia” ci veniamo a trovare fra realtà e sogno a occhi aperti, altalenantesi forse per alienazione mentale forse, chissà, in vista d’uno scopo che supera i confini del mondo materiale.

Surrounded by the guardians that love and protect her, do any of them stand a chance against the black winged angel or the demons that have silently invaded the city? Kyoko finds out that it's hard to run away from Darious when he's faster then she is.
