A secret society meets in Venice, and Corto falls through the skylight of the hall where they are meeting ... Corto Maltese, sailor, adventurer, the man with his eyes on the horizon; but also interested in mysteries and impatient with authority.

Old poets, beautiful women, loony sidekicks - it is all here, and Venice itself is very present, too. There is a story (hidden treasure, old mysteries, baron Curve), but it is the atmosphere that counts.

Set in about 1921, between 'CM in Siberia' and 'the gilded house of Samarkand'.

This book is in excellent condition.
