The stories of “Non esiste saggezza” have the daily reality for decor : They tell faces that emerge from the crowd of travellers in neutral transit zones. Most of the faces of women : with the latter, the voice of the Narrator is benevolent, fraternal and protective, as if he wanted to share the weight of painful secrets. Dans ce livre Carofiglio dote d'un nom les ombres et les peurs. Il en fait des compagnons de voyage, d'un voyage qui va jusqu ' aux confins des émotions les plus profondes et les plus sincères.

Suddenly appear: at a tollbooth, the lonely girl asks a motorist oblivious to accompany her to the mystery. The wait in an airport is closed by verses of a Russian poet, from an unknown elusive parking. AND, suddenly, These women disappear: from a humanitarian mission clinic, the last place they were seen a voluntary doctor and his companion Colombian girl, in risky challenge to injustices and prevarications. The male characters are looking for, to chase: an impression, a suspect, a curiosity that drives them beyond the limits of predictable, Sometimes the lawful. And the collection is completed with a genuine bildungsroman in miniature, set in metaphysical spaces of the Murgia.
“Things do not exist if we don't have the words to call them.”
