Terra di Sicilia. Die Geschichte der Familie Carbonaro

The grand German-Italian family epic by bestselling author Mario Giordano is sensual, colorful, and impressive. Rocky earth and sun-scorched fields, orange groves overflowing with abundance, and the scent of mandarin blossoms: this is Barnaba Carbonaro's Sicilian homeland, where he grows up in an archaic world at the end of the 19th century. He is dirt poor, but he has a dream – to become a wealthy man and establish a dynasty. With cleverness and courage, he achieves the seemingly impossible: rising to become a respected citrus dealer in the Munich wholesale market. But Barnaba is also a man who seeks women and adventure – and for this, fate rewards him with triumphs and defeats, with a large family and an adventurous life between sweet mandarins and Bavarian snow.
