«Ecco la storia» is the novel by Daniel Pennac published by Feltrinelli Traveller in paperback (312 pages, in Italian).
Ecco la storia opens with an agoraphobic dictator who hires a double to retire in Europe; the double chooses another double and so on. The doubles change over time and the people attribute the change to the wear and tear of power; the novel becomes a reflection on writing, identity and the boundary between fiction and reality.

For readers of contemporary fiction who enjoy metafictional novels and the intersections of autobiography, humour and invention.
