Romans Contemporains Fratelli

The story of Emilio and Ercole, two brothers separated by crime who, forty years later, find each other in a new land, far from their native Sicily. New York, 1946. Refugees from war-shattered Europe are flocking en masse to the United States with dreams of fortune and peace. But Emilio is not one of them. His only goal is to find his brother. The streets of Little Italy abound with faces, some familiar, others not. Old memories of a land awash in bright sunlight come to surface as do stories of family, love and revenge... Fratelli takes us to the heart of the tragedy of two brothers, from the beaches of Sicily to the skyscrapers of New York, the new Babylon. It is a city where Paradise awaits the happy few and Hell awaits the less fortunate. Joe G. Pinelli lives in Belgium where he teaches drawing and album illustration at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He is a precursor of the autobiographical album. Jean-Bernard Pinelli is the author of more than seventy "roman noir" novels. He created the legendary series of Le Poulpe.
