Set in the Pontine Marshes, land reclaimed from the swamps during fascism, the novel follows the settlers of a new city. The mayor of Latina devises a heart transplant to improve the city's image; the candidate is Palude, an old communist worker with a tired heart, although finding a donor will not be easy.

For readers interested in contemporary Italian fiction and in the memory of rural Lazio and fascist Italy.
