Agostino

A coming-of-age story set in Tuscany, Agostino follows a thirteen-year-old boy's journey of discovering himself amidst the beauty and brutality of his environment. After feeling neglected by his widowed mother, Agostino begins spending time with a group of local toughs, despite their repulsive behavior. As he navigates his budding sexuality and strained relationship with his mother, Agostino must confront the guilt and confusion consuming him. Alberto Moravia's poignant tale of lost innocence is now available in a new translation by Michael F. Moore.
