In einem italienischen Tbc-Sanatorium vor 100 Jahren kämpfen die Insassen mit Freundschaften, Eifersucht und Verzweiflung. Die enge Gemeinschaft bringt Ängste und Sehnsüchte hervor. Parallelen zu Thomas Manns "Zauberberg" sind unverkennbar, da beide Autoren unabhängig am selben Thema arbeiten.
Čitateľa upúta zvláštny kolorit morského života a ustavične sa ohlasujúci motív konca ľudského života, a istej neodvratnej spojnice všetkých protikladov.
At precisely nine o'clock, as he did every evening, Don Sebastiano Sanna Carboni pushed back his armchair, carefully folded the newspaper which he had read to the very last line, tidied up the little things on his desk, and prepared to go down to the ground floor... Around the turn of the twentieth century, in the isolated Sardinian town of Nuoro, the aristocratic notary Don Sebastiano Sanna reflects on his life, his family's history and the fortunes of this provincial backwater where he has lived out his days.
"Der Tag des Gerichts" erzählt die Geschichte der Sanna Carboni in Nuoro, einer sardischen Stadt, die von einer alten Familie und verschiedenen sozialen Schichten geprägt ist. Die Erzählung umfasst das Leben der Honoratioren, Hirten, Banditen und anderer Bewohner, vereint durch den dominierenden Friedhof der Stadt.
