"From the bestselling author of The Solitude of Prime Numbers, a searing novel of war and the journey from youth into manhood. In Paolo Giordano's highly awaited new novel, a platoon of young men and one woman soldier leaves Italy for one of the most dangerous places on earth. Forward Operating Base (FOB) in the Gulistan district of Afghanistan is nothing but an exposed sandpit scorched by inescapable sunlight and deadly mortar fire. Each member in the platoon manages the toxic mix of boredom and fear that is life at the FOB in his own way. Brash Cederna shamelessly picks on the virgin Ietri. Giulia Zampieri seemingly navigates this male-dominated world with ease-until two male comrades start vying for her attention. And for medical officer Alessandro Egitto, the FOB serves as an escape from a real life even more dangerous than one fought with guns. At night, lying on their beds, they feel the beat of their own hearts, the ceaseless activity of the human body. But when a much-debated mission goes devastatingly awry, the soldiers find their lives changed in an instant. A heartrending, redemptive story about brotherhood and family, modern war and the wars we wage with ourselves, Paolo Giordano's visceral novel reminds us what it is to be human"--
"The Human Body depicts the struggle, the vicissitudes and the internal and external growth of a platoon of young Italian soldiers that are sent for the first time on a mission to the forward operating base (FOB) Ice in Gulistan, Afghanistan, which the writer described as "a sandy enclosure exposed to adversity". During the night the camp is obscured, it is invisible, there are no man-made or natural noises, only the incessant activity of the human body that penetrates the minds of the soldiers in their camp beds"--… (més)
Intent fallit, em sap greu. Potser és culpa meva i vivia un moment especial quan vaig llegr "els nombres primers" però aquest nou llibre de Paolo Giordano justeja per totes bandes. Els personatges són prims, no arribem a conèixer-los bé ni a saber com són. Vaig tenir la sensació de llegir un recull d'esborranys (prometedors, això si) relligats una mica apressadament. Giordano podria ser el gran narrador de la incomunicació però s'ha quedat a mig camí. El proper serà millor, hi confio. A destacar el capítol dedicat a l'episodi de gastroenteritis. Sentia el recargolament de budells. ( )

Negli anni successivi alla missione, ognuno dei ragazzi si impegnò a rendere la propria vita irriconoscibile, finchè i ricordi di quell'altra, dell'esistenza di prima, non si macchiarono di una luce fasulla, artificiale, ed essi stessi non si convinsero che niente di quello che era accaduto fosse accaduto realmente, o per lo meno, non a loro.
