Storie della preistoria
by Moravia Alberto
Alberto Moravia wrote these stories in 1982, as a collection of fables about the creation of the world, a world inhabited by animals of all shapes and kinds. As it always happens, these fables use animal traits and adventures to investigate mankind, its vices and follies. But in the end it’s hope that wins, as the reader looks at these characters with human understanding, that is indulgency over their and his own whims and weirdness.
