From The Song of Songs Which is to Sumer
This book tries to communicate more than what it says. This feature may apply to all poetry. However, it is strikingly apparent in this book. The title itself reflects this. Starting with the word "from", the title suggests that there is something more than the poems in the book. The book is not "the song of songs" but only some poems "from" it.

Il bianco e il nero
Lyes Madi, artista italo-algerino che abita a Torino, viene trovato morto ad Algeri nell’appartamento del nonno. Lyes era tornato nella sua terra d’origine su consiglio di un maestro sufi incontrato in Italia, per risolvere il mistero legato a un antico simbolo che gli avrebbe dato l’ispirazione per dipingere il quadro perfetto. Gli investigatori, non riuscendo a trovare alcuna prova tangibile per risolvere il caso, concludono che l’artista si è suicidato durante un rituale satanico, ma resta tuttavia il dubbio che si sia trattato di omicidio. Quale rapporto può esserci allora tra i segni massonici trovati dall’amico professore di arte sacra a Torino con la morte dell’artista e i suoi legami con il Sufismo e la Kabbalah ebraica? Il romanzo ci immerge in un’avvincente lettura, che in un viaggio tra storia, arte e religione misteriosamente intrecciate, ci porta alla sorprendente soluzione finale. Un romanzo algerino insolito, ricco di riferimenti, che rappresenta una versione colta degli argomenti presenti nei libri di Dan Brown.
