Seremos Atlántida

When the narrator of this novel meets Mirko Bevilacqua, an extravagant man who intermittently and clandestinely visits Clara, a young woman who cares for an elderly and elegant Croatian lady, his perception of reality changes irreversibly. This enigmatic triad immerses the narrator in an exploration of the idea of authenticity that will take him through old Europe, whose most significant places risk becoming mere stages. In this ambitious book, Joan Benesiu invites the reader to investigate the relationship between identity and territory, to show, with a suggestive style and a very personal voice, the dangers of becoming mere witnesses of history.
