Riassunto

Although he has also lived in Russia, the USA and Britain, Navrozov asks where in homogenized and modernized Europe would the hardened individualist find refuge. His answer is Italy or, more specifically, Palermo, where for the moment his flight from social progress ends. The answer takes the reader in an uncompromising, occasionally eccentric but deeply personal and always entertaining travelogue from the author's first day in Rome to his last night at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, through Monte Argentario, Florence and the Maremma on to Venice and the Veneto and finally to the wilds of Sicily. To each of these destinations he is accompanied by his longtime friend and London gambling companion Gusov, a Russian photographer whose recent work was said by the British Journal of Photography to 'capture the essence of life.' He has produced a collection of fifty arresting images which serve to give another dimension to the author's ideas and impressions of the places evoked in the book.
