Mario Rigoni Stern, one of the greatest Italian writers of the twentieth century, was born and lived in theveneto of the seven municipalities plateau, told war stories and natural histories that have made the company to multiple generations of readers.
His books are evidences of the tragedies of World War II, but in his stories there are also animals, forests, Alpine pastures and mountains; few writers have managed to describe with the same knowledge and sensitivity on the natural world.

Besides Rigoni, in the book we find friends like Primo Levi and Nuto Revelli, masters of civil ethics as Emilio Lussu and Tina Merlin, fellow war as Nelson Cenci and Christopher Moscioni Negroes, and the unforgettable characters of his books, including the pastor, smuggler and seller of Tönle prints, a free man who hated borders and barriers. In his books is an invitation to have courage and to resist, to maintain dignity and integrity even in the worst trouble.
