A book is a book

"Two of Two" by Andrea de Carlo

This novel tells the story of the friendship between Mario and Guido, friends since high school and then for life, united by a very solid relationship.
The voice that tells the story is that of Mario, but despite this the main character seems to be Guido. The two boys are known to school in Milan, in the restless period of '68 to know the student struggles to reform school. Mario was infected with the character and mentality of revolutionary Guido, thanks to this open a bit 'in and out of his shell of shyness, addressing situations in which, if not friends Guido, would never have gone out to meet vita.Guido in his character is a restless and reads the classics of Communism not to be influenced in their ideas from anyone and even Mario gradually became interested in politics, but more of a sense of brotherhood with guides for a true interest.
The lives of two of them away at the moment when Guy left school before graduation and started working, but their friendship is so strong that you never perderdono of view, especially the important issues of their lives.
After several emotional ups and downs and choices in life that go on over the years for both characters, Guido will become a famous writer and see the world (although facing different difficulties such as drug addiction or alcohol) while Mario, more 'peaceful and aimed at a less adventurous life, with wife and two children live in the hills of Gubbio. Yet the two will meet again even if they were meant to be near each other to complete their diametrically opposed characters. But when everything seems to turn for the better, Guido dies at the wheel of his car while trying to get to Milan, perhaps to return by the former girlfriend or figlio.Accecato embrace the pain and despair, Mario ignite the second house which had been built next to his house, if one day he wanted, his best friend.

This book I really enjoyed both The story tells that the way it is written, though perhaps in some places De Carlo dwells too much on slowing down the pace quite insistent descriptions of the novel. The story got me so much, maybe because they are long stretches of the feelings and emotions of all of us a little boys during adolescence.
