«Conoscerete la nostra velocità» is the literary fiction novel by Dave Eggers, published by Mondadori in hardcover (389 pages, in Italian).
Two friends, Will and Hand, decide to travel around the world to get rid of the money they receive after the death of their friend Jack. The journey confronts them with the difficulty of renouncing wealth while dealing with grief and awareness of suffering. The edition reinforces this story with a peculiarity: the text starts on the cover and continues inside without a half-title page.
Original work from 2002 (You Shall Know Our Velocity); this Italian edition, translated by Giuseppe Strazzeri, was published in 2003.
Will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction and to reading clubs looking for travel stories with a moral backdrop.
