The village of Hora is a magical place that blurs the boundaries between a mythical past and the present. It is here that Constantino Avati grows alongside his impetuous and melancholic father Francesco; his mother Elena, who hides a secret torment; his two sisters, Orlandina and Lucrezia; and his grandfather Lissandro, the last custodian of an era and a world that are disappearing. As Constantino feels the pangs of first love with the intriguing Roman Isabella, he also discovers the romantic allure of his own village and its rich cultural heritage. In his first novel, acclaimed author Carmine Abate transforms his Italo-Albanian (ArbËresh) hometown of Carfizzi, Calabria, into a magical realist wonderland that rivals Gabriel GarcÍa MÁrquez’s Macondo. Inspired by the oral traditions of the old Albanian bards and incorporating the poetic local dialect, The Round Dance is a unique piece of multicultural literature that was named by publishing house Mondadori as one of the one hundred greatest Italian novels of the twentieth century.
