Synopsis
Young Giovanni Drogo is posted to remote Fort Bastiani, overlooking the Tartar Steppe. Published in Italy in 1939, this story is an indictment of military life and a meditation on human thirst for glory. In what is one of the greatest Italian novels of the century, Buzzati's sinister, gripping story is the true heir of Kafka's THE CASTLE.
