PWe often harm young people. Or anyway We tend to see only the most negative drifts of the new generationsthose that the daily news offers us on the front pages of the newspapers. Yet those who leave the house and still have human relationships and not only virtuals realize that this is not the case.
Resist a chaotic and unfair world, overwhelmed by the greed of a few powerful (not all with the head -on), it is a titanic enterprise that the younger minds have to face to ensure a future not only to them but on the planet in which we all live.
There are those who do it with the study, some with the protest, some with volunteeringwho risking life at war to defend their country, who resisting the most decadent sirens that our apparently society puts in place daily.

But perhaps it has always been so and thanks to the powerful energy of the youth that we have always saved ourselvesmanaging to overcome obstacles and historical moments that seemed insurmountable. This is why the story of Nino, the protagonist of The young road Debut novel by Antonio Albanese (Feltrinelli).
“The young road” debut novel by Antonio Albanese (Feltrinelli).
Those of the author knows and loves the bright career of actor, comedian and theatrical director, he will not be surprised by this successful literary proof. But whatever the author’s name was, the book would have hit the mark for the Tenial and powerful voice of this young Sicilian who, escaped from a Nazi prison camp after the armisticeundertakes a trip on foot through an Italy massacred by the war.
Towards freedom
Nino wants to return to his land at all costs By challenging hunger, the frost and facing death always lurking because the horror has changed the connotations of people and humanity as it was known before no longer exists.
Each shadow can hide an insidia And perhaps the dream that chases and gives him the strength to survive is a chimera and in his place he will find only rubble. But he does not give up and continues to fight.
Nino is the strength of youth and hope, it is not a super man but a simple hero of tenderness and If he did it, we can still make it all to fight and imagine a different future.
You understand that Albanian had long had this story inspired by the events of an uncle for some time That like all the veterans of the war was of few words and did not like to remember, but fortunately literature helps us to fill the voids and save us from oblivion.
