The book argues that the human race, at this stage of its evolution, is mired in its own savagery, delusion and incomprehension. We reject important realities about ourselves and our existence because it would be unbearable to accept them. Our species would be all the better if it were to face up to these realities.

The climate apocalypse has finally come to pass. The Eurasian landmass had become one vast desert scorched by ferocious heat. Most of humanity has been obliterated by the ferocity of heat, rising oceans and storms of unimaginable force. All knowledge of today's science and technology and of our civilisation has been lost. Amanaar and Mayzaar, who live in the underground city of Kaimakla, discover that the oasis on which the city depends is drying up, and that they will all die soon from thirst and starvation. As a desperate measure, Amanaar organises a journey to cross the vast desert to their north in search of a safe haven. On their journey they face many terrors, but also stumble upon objects from today's world which are incomprehensible to them. They meet Stinna who passionately believes in the truth of the legends of great cities and a vanished hugely advanced technological civilisation. Stinna persuades the two men to join her in the search for the truth and for an explanation of what happened. This is their story.

Italy is a unique country. This book combines, in an empathetic and amusing manner, the author's 40 years of personal experience and observation of life in Italy, with an incisive social commentary. It examines the impact of recent historical events and the country's fascist legacy, which remains of great pertinence today, for both Italy and beyond. Italians project the impression of being comfortable in their own skin. Life is to be enjoyed, simply and fully - as has been said: 'They just seem to do life better than we do'. This remark conveys perfectly Italians' wonderful ability to cope with anything that is thrown at them: tomorrow is another day. The book also explores the time-wasting and, often, positively absurd ways in which Italians must deal with the administrative aspects of everyday life. As a result, they have become past masters in creativity for social and economic survival. Finally, many personal observations document the innate generosity - in terms of attitudes, values, judgement and kindness - of Italians. Such a capacity accounts, to a large extent, for their spontaneous ability to simplify life and to facilitate interactions at all levels.
