Book Descriptions:
Ispirato alla moda del Grand Tour, il romanzo racconta l’avventuroso viaggio in Italia di un giovane francese, Henri Trespetit, e del suo precettore.
Il giudice Trespetit, disperato per la dissolutezza del suo unico figlio, si lascia infatti persuadere dall’enigmatico professor Bachume, convinto empirista, a lasciarlo partire per un viaggio di maturazione culturale ed umana. Così, nella tarda primavera del 1714 il Grand Tour ha inizio. Purtroppo, però, poco dopo la partenza il giudice viene a sapere che Bachume ha dei conti in sospeso con la giustizia e che su di lui pende addirittura una condanna a morte. Preoccupato per le sorti del figlio, incarica il capitano Florentin di recarsi in Italia con il duplice compito di arrestare il precettore e di mettere in salvo Henri.
Tra amori, equivoci e avventure nelle diverse realtà di un’Italia settecentesca lontana dagli stereotipi oleografici, si compie dunque il Grand Tour dei protagonisti, il quale assumerà sempre più i connotati di un rito di passaggio dall’adolescenza alla vita adulta, dal tempo della spensieratezza a quello delle scelte.
Romanzo di formazione e psicologico insieme, Il Grand Tour affronta temi quali l’assurdità della guerra, le ingiustizie e gli abusi del potere, il valore della solidarietà e dell’amicizia e il diritto di ciascuno a scegliere la propria strada.
Il testo ha ottenuto importanti riconoscimenti, quali il secondo posto al Premio Kultural 2013, con il titolo Voyage en Italie, e la segnalazione al Premio Calvino 2014. Il capitolo I briganti della palude ha vinto la prima edizione del Premio Città del Galateo per la narrativa breve.
