I racconti del Mississippi (vol. II)

His detailed descriptions make the river feel like a character itself. I'm curious whether personal experience or historical events influenced this emphasis.

The book feels like a curated glimpse into a larger world. I wonder what guided his choices in shaping this particular narrative.
