Berlinguer's funeral and the discovery of the pleasure of losing, the Moro kidnapping and his father's betrayal, a first love that dies on Valentine's Day, the speech with which Bertinotti brought down the Prodi government, daily life during Berlusconi's twenty years in power, a phrase of Craxi and a story by Carver. A man looks back at how he became himself, following the trail of intuitions, moments, revelations and mistakes. The book is at once the story of the Italian left and an individual and collective coming of age, the stormy marriage between private and public life in one country and one era.
