Description
“Onesto” is a poetic, healing story about how important it is to let go of the past in time, so you can feel the taste of life again.
On one stormy night in the Dolomites, a young writer, Francesco, notices an elderly man outside his house—one who is in trouble—and invites him to wait out the bad weather. That’s how he meets Guido Contini, known by the nickname “Cognac”—a man with a face carved by deep wrinkles, like the mountain slopes, and piercing blue eyes in which the vast sky seems to be reflected.
In the morning, Guido Contini shows Francesco a birchbark box. Inside is a bundle of old letters addressed to the peaks of the surrounding mountains. Their author calls himself Onesto: he had lost everything, yet—despite it all—kept insisting that he was the richest man in the world.
In these letters, family secrets intertwine with terrifying events and the stubborn triumph of life—and a love that cannot be put into words, but that rushes like a powerful current through the entire twentieth century.
