Novantatré storie e un epilogo, legati tra loro da Mauro Corona, che in questo volume dà vita a una sterminata epopea del Vajont. Una ridda di volti e personaggi che sembrano scavati "nel legno e nella pietra", folli ed eroici, sobri e bevuti, ammiccanti tra boschi, dirupi montani e panche d'osteria. Sono spaccapietre e carbonai, streghe e boscaioli, bracconieri e cacciatori: bevitori impenitenti, selvatici e violenti ma facili alla commozione come bambini.

Storie che raccontano di quando il mondo era giovane, la puzzola era vanitosa, lo scricciolo era una briciola, il riccio era timido e liscio, il ghiro era insonne. Quarantaquattro favole contemporanee per capire meglio noi stessi attraverso la saggia lente della natura, le più belle che Corona ha "sentito" durante le sue lunghe camminate nel silenzio delle valli e delle cime innevate.

Mauro Corona ci stupisce con racconti allegri, scritti mettendo insieme storie antiche perdute tra i boschi. "Barzellette letterarie" come quella di Rostapita, Clausura e Santamaria, riuniti per ammazzare il maiale ma troppo ubriachi per riuscirci davvero. O come le vecchie favole di Erto e dintorni, sentite per le strade o nelle osterie. Così, scolpiti dalle sapienti mani di Corona, questi momenti di vita di montagna - episodi tragicomici ed esilaranti - diventano novelle, piccole grandi leggende da tramandare alle generazioni future.

Levi Dalton is disappointed. He'd had high hopes for this visit from Uncle Matthew's old cavalry friend, Mr. Jones.
