    About this ebook

    This is based on a true story.

    In the thirties, Marseille, rebellious and radiant, was contaminated with bloodshed between Italian mobsters and forthcoming Corsican Mafia. The city, a colorful melting pot of cultures, was founded by Greek settlers who first named it Massalia (circa 600 BC). In the sixties, a young orphan raised by a humble Italian family was confronted with the passing of his foster mother. Mayhem follows as the child becomes defiant towards the institution and stroll the city’s narrow streets in search of the true meaning of his youth. As a dark cloud shares his confusion, the young man is struck with another chance at salvation in a form of invitation to move to South America. From the concrete jungle to the Amazonian jungle, he rediscovers himself, face-to-face with animal cruelty, racism, and intolerance from the civilization of domestication. According to a Spanish legend, the Holy Grail’s whereabout had been engraved inside a massive bell lost deep inside the Guyana forest by the conquistadors. The thrilling experience will plunge the teenager inside the fathomless wild to prove once more how unpredicted life remains. After the lingering excitement fades away, he revisits the cradle of his affliction, back to the ruthless streets of Marseille.
