More Description

Today in Italy, as many as five million people live well with politics. They may be deputies in the two branches of Parliament that regional, provincial, municipal councilors, party clerks, racks or simple runners. Considering human nature, even if the majority of them are healthy and honest and a small minority devoted to politics for the good of the country, a good fringe, instead, lives of the illicit proceeds due to corruption. The protagonists of this novel, however, are border-lines, having managed to occupy important and very profitable benches, having touched the criminal laws or having managed to take shelter in time. Coming they too occupy significant positions in large companies at the national level, despite having neither art nor part, pocketing annual salaries that a humble worker would not dream of earning even in an entire working life. These characters, although the fruit of the writer's imagination, are those that were once called, for a cue from the millenary Chinese history, the mandarins, that are the modern POLITICIANS.
