In 'Letter to a Teacher from Aspromonte', Fernando Criado transports us to the rugged and wonderful land of Aspromonte in southern Calabria, Italy, during the 1920s, a time when fascism was beginning to awaken. Through a technique of short paragraphs and enjoyable dialogues, the author describes in detail the customs, people, and lands of this still wild region, where unique rural customs and traditions are preserved. The novel explores the struggles of passions and internal conflicts of characters attached to agricultural customs, in a mountainous environment that is sometimes inaccessible but always fascinating. The author includes phrases and comments in Italian and Calabrian to enrich the atmosphere and immerse the reader in the life philosophy of the characters and customs of this land.
