Story
Stefano e Nando, i due amici "immortali" di questo romanzo, vengono da lontano. Attraversano sessant'anni della nostra storia e come eroi omerici si muovono sotto le mura di Troia che sono di volta in volta la drammatica ritirata di Russia del 1943, le lotte operaie alla Fiat, la battaglia per un nuovo benessere, la rivolta delle generazioni più giovani. Stefano e Nando si battono, nel bene e nel male, per un'idea di mondo che cresce insieme a loro, ai loro amori, alle loro famiglie, e che non dimentica mai l'amicizia che li lega.
