“The Englishman” from ‘Pantera’ by Stefano Benni - Audiobook (Italian)

Ekidna narrates (in Italian) “L’Inglese” — “The Englishman” — an excerpt from “Pantera” by Stefano Benni, published by Feltrinelli in 2014.

Stefano Benni, novelist and poet from Bologna, tells stories set in his beloved city outskirts: webs of humanity, magical places where the author learned many of life’s lessons in his formative years. The work introduces the Academy of the Three Princes, a den where the three princes are billiard tables around which legendary men and women move. The challengers include il puzzone, Garibaldi, Tremal-Naik, Willy, John, Valdo and the professor — but the king of the princes is Tamarindo. Into this all-male world, one day, walks the Panther, who defeats them one after another. What will become of the Panther when Jones the Englishman comes to town?
