The village of Hora is a captivating place that transcends the boundaries between myth and reality. It is within this enchanting setting that Costantino Avati, along with his father Francesco, mother Elena, sisters Orlandina and Lucrezia, and grandfather Lissandro, experiences a remarkable journey of growth and self-discovery. Costantino's first love blossoms with the intriguing Roman Isabella, while he also discovers the enchanting allure of his own village and its rich cultural heritage. In his debut novel, acclaimed author Carmine Abate skillfully transforms his hometown of Carfizzi, Calabria, into a captivating magical realist wonderland reminiscent of Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez's Macondo. Drawing inspiration from the oral traditions of the ancient Albanian bards and incorporating the poetic local dialect, The Round Dance is a remarkable work of multicultural literature that was recognized by the publishing house Mondadori as one of the one hundred greatest Italian novels of the twentieth century.
