Babelfish

Tales from the Aquarium Age

De: Gino Pitaro

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

With “Babelfish, tales from the Aquarium Age”, Gino Pitaro describes a reality which is divided into countless small pieces but existing as a single unit at the same time. The background theme to all the stories is the “existencial nomadism”, that is to say the ability to live in the world’s enlarged atmosphere, making our way between multiple sociocultural influences. From Spain to Singapore, from Rome to Geneva, from London to Kandahar all the way to Saint-Tropez, the protagonists draw some sort of “melting pot”, a multiple reality which takes shape throughout the narration. Seven different stories and seven protagonists linked by the same approach to life, by the same condition of the soul which deals with what it sees while looking for the reasoned analysis and for revealing details. The intersection with others and the cultural osmosis are the heart of these different - but equal - lives. The stories can be read both in sequential or chronological order and on parallel tracks, as if dealing with multiple doppelgangers of the same protagonist, faced with different destinies. To each story a different aspect of life to be known. Gino Pitaro is an italian fiction writer. He was born in Vibo Valentia on the 7th of july, 1970.
