Racconti di sonno e morte

Rate this book
Energie vitali, sonno e sogni: questi i temi che accomunano i racconti presenti in questo volume. Ne Lo specifico del dottor Menghi, il suddetto medico induce un sonno artificiale sperimentando su animali e umani due sieri, l’alcole Menghi e l’Annina: il primo abbrevia la vita ma la rende più intensa, il secondo la rallenta e allontana il momento della morte. In Vino generoso un’accelerazione nella quotidianità di un padre di famiglia, dovuta a un’inadempienza alimentare, libera in lui gli istinti più reconditi e lo incanala in un delirio onirico in cui si manifestano ossessioni e desideri tali da ingaggiare un duello con la propria coscienza.
