sale by Mondadori in 2016" -- title page verso
520 Situated some 200 km off Italy's Southern coast, Lampedusa
has hit the world headlines in recent years as the first
port of call for hundreds of thousands of African and
Middle Eastern migrants hoping to make a new life in
Europe. The shipwrecks began in 1992. Before the Arab
Spring, they came from Africa, but now they come from
across the Arab world as well. And the death toll is
staggering. On Christmas Eve, 1996, 286 bodies were
recovered; on the night of October 3, 2013, 366 out of 500
migrants died after a shipwreck nearby. For the past
twenty-five years, Doctor Bartolo has been rescuing,
welcoming, helping, and providing medical assistance to
those who survived. But, above all, he has been listening
to them. Tales of pain and hope, stories of those who
didn't make it, who died at sea, their bodies washed up on
shore; stories of those who lost their loved ones, of
babies that never had a chance to be born
