M, los últimos días de Europa

With feverish precision, Scurati continues his "total novel" reconstructing the delirium of a Mussolini deluded with being able to influence the Führer's decisions, lonelier than ever and finally aware of Italy's weakness when he declares that "the time for irrevocable decisions" has arrived. With the Spanish civil war over, the continent plunged into a new international conflict just twenty years after the end of the previous one. These are the last days of Europe: the culmination of the self-delusion of a fascist Italy bowed to the infamy of racial laws and the pact with Nazi Germany.
