«Firmino» is the novel by Sam Savage, published by Einaudi in paperback (179 pages, in Italian).
Firmino, a mouse born in a Boston bookshop in the sixties, is the thirteenth of the litter and the only one left without food. Trying the books, he discovers that the most beautiful taste better and becomes a voracious reader who identifies with great literary heroes. It is a melancholy story about the power of books.
This Italian edition by Einaudi, published on 29 April 2008 in the Stile libero big collection, includes the translation by Evelina Santangelo and the illustrations by Fernando Krahn.
May appeal to teenagers and adults, especially lovers of stories about books and reading.
Samuel Phillips Savage was an American novelist and poet, best known for his 2006 novel Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife. Other published works are The Cry of the Sloth, The Criminal Life of Effie O, and Glass.
