In this work Paolo Sollazzo leads us through the boundless horizons of
a vast land: Mongolia.
It is nature, harsh and uncontaminated the real protagonist. A
protagonist that dictates the rules, which the author at first seems only
to bow down to, but to which he later becomes perfectly adapted. The
cold, the rain, the snow, mountains, rivers, sparse trees and the
desert, all these together delineate the borders of the author’s vision,
they are the real protagonists of the narration.
Herds at pasture or roaming wild, or the shepherds rarely met with, or
the prodigious horsemen with their eagles, seem to be little more than
extras. They occasionally appear to populate a white and empty
landscape, a land harsh and sparely inhabited.
