Cronache dalla polvere
by Barontini Zoya
1936: the Italian Army conquers the capital city of the Ethiopian Empire, Addis Ababa.
One of the blackest pages in Italian history begins: the occupation of the Abyssinian Territories, the reprisals, the defiant struggle of the Arbegnoch resistance fighters.
Destruction, massacres and the use of chemical weapons.
This mosaic novel recalls the horror of that war and of that era, which the local inhabitants have never forgotten, and takes us on a journey into a time and a place peopled with war drums, dust and wind, Ethiopian guerrillas, Italian soldiers and mysterious ghostly presences.
