Al centro della narrazione sta la "Provvidenza", la barca più illustre della letteratura italiana, la più vecchia delle barche da pesca del villaggio. La vicenda ruota intorno alla sventura dei Malavoglia, innescata proprio dal naufragio della "Provvidenza" carica di lupini presi a credito. Si snoda così tutta una trama straordinariamente complessa che non abbandona mai lo svolgersi doloroso del dramma. Il quale è una serie di rovesci, colpo su colpo contro i Malavoglia, ogni volta che a forza di rassegnazione e coraggio riescono a rialzarsi dal colpo precedente. Introduzione di Edoardo Sanguineti.

And it serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.
