The problem is that Febo died twenty years ago. Is this a joke? A person with the same name? To solve the enigma, Ludovico traces their indelible friendship from its roots, starting at the University of Pavia in the early 1980s. Febo is brilliant, cultured, tormented, and a seducer; Ludovico, on the other hand, is a rustic and solitary son of the mountains, in perennial discomfort. They will share the best days of their lives with one another: the nights that seem eternal and the loves that lasted but a moment, the music and the arguments about philosophy, the freedom they conquered and then immediately lost to the world of addiction. This coming of age novel is a moving and entertaining story of a great friendship in young adulthood that can be read in one sitting. It is an ode to time passing and altering us, an enigma that unravels in a surprising ending.
