Title: Up until the end of the train tracks

Author: Vittorio Graziosi

Abstract: The story begins when Mario, a murderer with a guilty conscience goes into hiding in a farm house in Tuscany. Here he does not find the peace he is looking for .
He became an assassin blinded by jealousy after having discovered that Alessandra is a prostitute in a brothel, and he continues to kill when in raptus. but his second victim , in the form of his guilt, looks for him during dark nights.
He is tormented and to continue fleeing is an act that he cannot avoid doing.
He is not afraid of being arrested, not any more, rather he is looking for a redemption for his guilt that scares him like a rabid dog. He will flee up until the end of all train tracks … up until the end of the Earth .
There in a village on the sea he will become a fisherman living like a hermit until the far away scents of Africa attract him, nearly the promise of a new life.
He departs in his little boat to land in Algeria. He will become a Tuareg in the immensity of the Atlantis in the desert where he learns stories of French repression and ransoms of heroes born in the desert.
After this experience he decides to return to the sea, convinced that only in this way he would be able to find an answer to his desire for redemption … but just when he has begun to embrace life and smile again a car bomb injures him. He wakes up in the hospital with an idea for rehabilitation .. to do something for that oppressed population.
In the end he decides to constitute himself to the head of the Italian police on the condition that he may deliver a letter of supplication from the Algerian Liberation Front to politicians and journalists. He will spend his next 25 years in prison hoping not to die there because he has a tomb to take care of….
