Il bar sotto il mare

1987

by Stefano Benni

Il bar sotto il mare is a whimsical and enchanting collection of tales set in the most peculiar of places—a bar beneath the sea. Imagine a night where anything could happen, and you'll find yourself in Sompazzo, the most deceitful town in the world.

Meet Gaspard Ouralphe, the greatest chef in France, and discover the tale of the word-eating worm and the incredible story of Captain Charlemont. Enter the world of the Sausage Duel, the repentant dictator, and Kraputnyk, the lovesick Martian.

Join Priscilla Mapple as she unravels the mystery of Class II C, and listen to the tales of the awkward sprite, the jealous devil, and the magical guitar. Dive into the stories of First Aid and Beauty Case, uncover the mystery of Oleron, and brace yourself for the Autogrill of Death.

Experience the Californian crawl, the Saturday porn cinema at Splendor, the whims of the god Amikinont'amanonamikit'ama, and ponder with Arturo Perplesso in front of the Abandoned House by the Sea. Conclude with the shortest story in the world, the fateful Nastassia, and the great Crossing of the Old Men.

In this bar, where we all wish to find ourselves one night, listen to the captivating stories of the bartender, the man with the hat, the man with the gardenia, the mermaid, the sailor, the invisible man, the vamp, and other mysterious patrons.
