Pepi's nephew, the partisan Nino, and his wife Faida, faithful to their ideals, which will later be covered with oblivion, work to build a new Yugoslavia during Tito's time. And in modern Croatia, Nino's grandson Marco and his friends encounter resurgent fascist movements and realize that the wounds of the past can easily bleed again."Istria Black" tells a story of hatred that sprouts generously in wounded hearts, and of its eternal rival—forgiveness.It is a novel about the different incarnations of a beautiful country tormented by human mistakes and about people's desire to believe in something greater than themselves.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
