Cosa resta da scoprire (Strade blu. Non Fiction) (Italian Edition)

Ma ho i soldi, e una nave da prendere. Me ne vado dove mi trova posto Paolino, poi contatto il babbo e gli dico di venire anche lui. Un uomo in fuga. Non vedeva un cazzo. Quando sarebbe sorto il sole? Abituato ad allietare il pubblico con immagini rassicuranti, ritrovarsi muto testimone di squallori e violenze.

Senza nulla da opporre. Vuoto davanti al vuoto. L'inutile schermo da diciassette pollici pareva riflettere ancora le ultime scene, consumate senza pudore davanti al suo occhio spalancato. Il metodo del coccodrillo. Interessante il libro di Maurizio de Giovanni, anche se un po' troppo fiorito, al mio gusto. Vennero fuori tra le note dei neomelodici che si alternavano alla radio dei vicini. Vennero fuori nella luce di piombo di un altro mezzogiorno di pioggia leggera, tra le lacrime di un cielo che piangeva i propri morti senza interruzione.

PS Mi sforzo di pronunciare il titolo, ma non ci riesco. Dico sempre "crocodillo", invece di "coccodrillo": Le ho mai raccontato del vento del nord. Sicuramente uno che ha dimenticato il fascino delle Lettere persiane di Rousseau, dei Dolori del giovane Werther di Goethe e soprattutto del capolavoro Le relazioni pericolose di Laclos.

Abitiamo in un non-luogo. Il giorno e la notte non esistono. Siamo fuori dal tempo. Abbiamo solo gli schermi del computer, rigorosamente top secret, e un hobby in comune: Finora le ho sempre lette con la voce sbagliata. Le ho sempre lette con la voce di Marlene. Per me Emmi era Marlene, la Marlene dei primi tempi, quando tutto era ancora possibile. C'era solo l'amore, nient'altro. Non so se leggero o no questo seguito, intitolato La settima onda , dove, se ho capito bene, gli eroi finiscono per incontrarsi.

Non possiamo vivere quello che scriviamo. Non possiamo sostituire le tante immagini con cui ognuno di noi raffigura l'altro. Ma ne dubito molto.

In ogni caso, se avete voglia di un romanzo grazioso e vivace, che trova il tuono giusto tra commedia e dramma, con eroi svegli e sorprendenti, brevemente se volete leggere un libro leggero senza sentirvi colpevoli di aver perso il tempo con sciocchezze, eccolo qui. Infatti, due stelline e mezzo. Inoltre, i personaggi sono raggruppati in coppie complementare, secondo il loro tratto dominante: I deboli della famiglia sono naturalmente Eugenio e Lorenzo.

Questi ritratti allo specchio sono completati con le immagini della terza generazione, in cui Teresa torna il bene in ossessione bigotta e Consalvo il patriottismo in demagogia politica.

Particolare dal punto di vista grafico, giusto? Avete libri con la copertina in cashmere? Lo spazio virtuale e i suoi misteri: Ho letto fuori che fate anche da internet point.

Quanto sono potenti i vostri computer? A cosa le servono? Ma devo mandarla a Milano! Un nastro al cappello. Ovviamente questi autori che ci ingannano sempre! Ecco qualche esempio preso quasi al caso dal libro: Ma di quella palla, solo di quella palla, aveva una grande nostalgia. Eppure ci sono anche pagine molto alerte, molto vive e scorrevoli, che riscattano il romanzo. Lascio correre lo sguardo sulle tombe. Su ognuna poteri leggere il nome di un compagno, ripercorrere le tappe che mi hanno portato qui.

Ma non riesco a provare odio. Guardo Gresbeck e vedo soltanto un vecchio. Infine, ho trovato alcune frasi astute: Proprio non pensavo di poter fare soldi con il contrabbando dei libri. Essere puri non significa separarsi dal mondo, condannarlo, per obbedire ciecamente alla legge di Dio: Da qualche importante discendenza letteraria, come suggerisce Carlo Bo quando lo paragona a Boccaccio col suo disegno geometrico perfetto della favola; dai picareschi spagnoli e la loro favola tragica e comica dell'esistenza; da Maupassant e la sua narrazione fredda come una cronaca di giornale?

Luciano di Samosata ha composto un elogio alla mosca, se mi ricordo bene , in cui poco a poco, la figura di Emerenziano si distacca dal fondale, guadagna dimensioni eroiche e, con la sua morte, quasi tragiche: Era diventato, come un santo, oggetto di culto devoto sugli altari privati di tre donne. Un piccolo gioiello da leggere assolutamente.

The Italians seem to have a love for taking multiple opposing sides of the political spectrum. What does matter is that De Luca still confin Lucarelli, Carlo. What does matter is that De Luca still confines his objectives to seeing justice carried out, in spite of all the conspiracies going on around him. He is a policeman, and he has a job.

In this episode, the body of a young man is found, murdered, in his room over a bordello in the Via Delle Oche. The setting is Bologna in De Luca finds himself back in the city as a Commissario. Election time is coming near, and all of the parties are jockying for control of the voters.

See a Problem?

The population is extremely excitable; riots break out at the slightest provocation. The young man is a custodian for the bordello. At the time, prostitution was legal in the city, as long as the establishments adhered to certain legal restrictions. Windows facing the street had to be closed at all times. The girls in each establishment had to be rotated every fifteen days — though we are never told the reason for this.

When De Luca examined the corpse, it was obvious to him that it was murder through simple observation. Although the crime — and subsequent ones that are related — gets solved, Lucarelli ends the novel by leaving De Luca in a personal Limbo. As soon as we walk in through the door we're thrown straight into the action, not even time for an expresso - this is a vibrant city after all.

A man has been found dead in a brothel. It looks like suicide - it isn't, but that's an inconvenient truth Sometimes leisurely as we stroll, other times we seem to be hanging around, waiting in dark cool hallways Ye As soon as we walk in through the door we're thrown straight into the action, not even time for an expresso - this is a vibrant city after all.

Yet whatever the pace you feel as if you're wading through treacle. Frustration pervades the atmosphere. Corruption and politics at a time when everything is in flux; the war is over and Italy is on the brink of revolution. Everything is up in the air. De Luca acts as a calming force throughout. He is an island of integrity in a sea of intrigue, arrogance and manipulation.

He knows what he's doing, he's no political appointment This series, the De Luca trilogy, is masterful. It is superbly written and the translator, Michael Reynolds deserves high praise for making Carlo Lucarelli's wonderful prose available to us. My one criticism, the one disappointment, is that some simple grammatical and spelling errors have crept into this final part of this edition; irritating and distracting.

But the series - read this trilogy. Jan 08, Erica rated it liked it.

Un'indagine poliziesca che riporta il lettore indietro nella storia, in un'Italia appena uscita dalla guerra, con il suo passato ancora da digerire. Interessante il ritmo scandito da titoli di giornale, come se la lettura fosse accompagnata da uno strillone pronto ad accoglierti all'angolo di ogni capitolo.

Il romanzo, la cui cadenza viene scandita dalle prime testate dei giornali di allora, il '48, attraverso le Case Chiuse apre una finestra sugli umori di un paese alle prese con le elezioni politiche.

Un altro spaccato di un'Italia che fu. Jul 01, Donald Schopflocher rated it really liked it. The concluding book in the De Luca trilogy is the best. In heavily ironic commentary on guilt and innocence in immediate post war Italy, Lucarelli captures the chaos of adjustment, the stasis of corruption, the indignity of murder, and one policeman's dedication to his profession no matter the cost. De Luca's survived the resistance, now in Via delle Oche, he faces the communists.

Will his torments never end? Will he never be left in peace to do what he does best? Here he faces ultimate corruption, exquisite beauty and complete decadence, and the brothels. Jun 01, David McGrogan rated it it was ok. The ending to this trilogy is definitely the weakest: The saving grace is that at least it's short. Set in Bologna, Commissario De Luca has somehow escaped execution as a fascist in post-war Italy and now he's a detective in the vice squad. Despite being a member of the political police during the war, it's clear that De Luca has no clear political leanings.

He's just trying to survive. And for now he has, but it's also clear that he's in danger from warring political factions in t Via delle Oche is the third volume in Lucarelli's Commissario De Luca Trilogy, and my favorite of the three. And for now he has, but it's also clear that he's in danger from warring political factions in the city. The book takes place primarily during four days in April, in the days leading up to a general election; the Communists are hoping to prevail against the Christian Democrats.

Each chapter opens with headlines from the newspaper, emphasizing that soccer star Gino Bartali may be more popular than any of the political candidates. There's also a murder to solve: At first it appears to be suicide, but De Luca notices that the young man's feet wouldn't have reached the stool.

Despite the fact that prostitution is legal in Italy, albeit strictly regulated, no one seems particularly concerned about the young man's murder. Except De Luca, of course. Soon, there's another murder, a photographer named Osvaldo Piras, who has connections to Ermes. As usual in a De Luca mystery, murders that originally seem to have no political motives eventually point in that direction. In the end De Luca knows who is responsible for the murder, but must accept that they will not be prosecuted. My favorite aspect of this book was Lucarelli's evocative writing, probably aided by Michael Reynolds's translation, which moves a break-neck speed.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the historical detail and sense of place. The reader never learns much about De Luca but in the end that seems fitting. He's a police officer, focused on solving crimes, preferably murders. At the very end of the book, we learn that he sleeps in a furnished room and only now, in his late 30s, is he thinking about getting a more comfortable place to live.

The action has fast-forwarded from April 18, , to July 14, The Christian Democrats won the election, but Communist Party leader Palmiro Togliotti has been shot, leading to a general strike and fears of revolution. Suddenly, survival seems more important to De Luca than comfort. It is , post-war reconstruction has begun in Italy, and free elections are scheduled in July. Italian society is restive, as the post-war power base slips away from the fascists, collaborators, and partisans.

Commissario De Luca shows up in Bologna, now a vice cop--a reduced rank for him. But he survived the end of the war. His days as a black shirt in Mussolini's political police h It is , post-war reconstruction has begun in Italy, and free elections are scheduled in July. His days as a black shirt in Mussolini's political police haven't caught up with him yet. Via della Oche is a brothel in Bologna where a young man has purportedly committed suicide. At least that's what the people in high places say.

The only problem is the victim's feet don't touch the chair which he presumably stood on to pull the noose down over his head. De Luca has a nose for crime. So does his buddy Maresciallo Marshall Pugliese, a very intense cop. They flout direct orders and keep digging, acts which both lead to consequences. The De Luca Trilogy is a collection of three slim volumes. I'm sure De Luca suffers from post traumatic stress syndrome, with his aching gut and insomnia symptoms of that condition.

He has lived through the chaos of war, in a country on the wrong side of that war. Via della Oche is as much about the post war years in Italy, as it is about murder and mayhem. I highly recommend this trilogy for its history just as much as for its crime detection. Via delle Oche is the final installment of the DeLuca trilogy, we find our protagonist working again in an official police force.

It's the vice squad, though, so DeLuca is out investigating violations of the Italian prostitution code. Brothels have to get new girls every 15 days and the transfers have to be supervised by the prisons. The windows of brothels have their street facing windows closed, among other somewhat apparently arbitrary regulations.

These details are the results of well resear Via delle Oche is the final installment of the DeLuca trilogy, we find our protagonist working again in an official police force. These details are the results of well researched historical context, and I greatly enjoy the realism that it adds where else would one find such arbitrary rules? DuLuca is on the case for investigating an apparent suicide where the dead man is shorter than the distance between the noose and the stool he apparently kicked out from under himself.

Things from the beginning don't add up, and the characteristics established over the previous two episodic novellas result in a finely tuned description of a dogged police officer doing his job.
