MISSING FROM Gioegio SCIANNA'S CALL

MISSING FROM ROLL CALL by Gioegio SCIANNA - Translated from Italian by Marianne Faurobert - Éditions Levi (1 place Paul-Painlevé, Paris) - 2018 - 206 pages – Softcover. Four empty seats. That's where last year's only boys in the class were sitting. But this fall, none of the four are present at the high school. They went to Greece together over the summer, and have inexplicably disappeared. Their parents are trying to reach them, but the cell phones are deactivated. They were last seen in Turkey, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nothing else. An interminable wait begins for their families and friends... A suspense to understand what drives some young people to leave for the lands of Daesh. Unhappiness? Quest for elsewhere? Fascination with images broadcast on the Internet? Dangerous illusions that lead them where they should never have ventured.
