Primii mincinosi ai lumii sunt povestitorii. Dar cele aproape patru sute de istorioare adunate in acest volum de Jean-Claude Carriere nu sunt nici mituri, nici parabole religioase si cu atat mai putin epopei. Vii, alerte, uneori deconcertante sau fals naive, ele recompun spiritul umanitatii in cele mai diverse ipostaze ale sale, venind fie din spatiul buddhist sau islamic, fie din cel chinez, african, evreiesc, indian sau amerindian. Dincolo de diferentele care apar de la o traditie la alta, regasesti pretutindeni problema dreptatii si a mortii, dificultatea traiului in comun si tema raportului maestru-discipol.

Con questo magistrale romanzo Jean-Claude Izzo chiude la trilogia marsigliese avviata con Casino totale e Chourmo. In Solea lo scontro con il sistema degli intrecci illeciti tra imprese, politica e malavita è violentissimo. Ma al di là della posta politica, il romanzo è un’esplosione di rabbia per questa vita che avrebbe potuto essere bella, per questi amori che non si sanno vivere.

A short sublime book on the three things dearest to Jean-Claude Izzo’s heart: his native Marseilles, the sea in all its splendor, and Mediterranean noir — the literary genre his books helped to found.

His native city, with its food, its flavors, its passionate inhabitants, and its long, long history of commerce and conviviality, constitute the lifeblood that runs through all of Izzo’s work.
