Considered one of the masterpieces of 20th-century literature, "Chiamalo sonno" (Call It Sleep) tells the story of David Schearl, an eight-year-old boy who arrives in America at the turn of the century. The novel explores life in New York at the time, portraying family conflicts and the process of transformation of the European immigrant in the United States through a deeply sensitive child's perspective. This Garzanti edition, published in the "Gli elefanti" collection, is an undisputed classic that, after years of initial neglect, has been globally acclaimed by critics. It is a fundamental work for understanding American narrative and the immigrant experience, noted for its unique literary style and its ability to capture the complexity of identity.
