1. Vida Y Fugas De Fanto Fantini Della Gherardesca
A picaresque, baroque tale following the roguish life and endless escapes of Fanto Fantini della Gherardesca, an eccentric adventurer whose voyages, amorous entanglements and brushes with the law blur myth and reality; through episodic, often fantastical episodes set among Mediterranean ports and imaginary courts the narrative mixes humor, satire and lyrical, fairy-tale imagery to parody social conventions while celebrating storytelling, memory and the irresistible lure of wandering.
