About this ebook
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.
Salvatore Satta
Salvatore Satta (1902–1975) was one of Italy's foremost jurists and the man who rewrote the Italian Penal Code after World War II to rid it of Facism. Following his death, the manuscript for THE DAY OF JUDGMENT was found amongst his papers. It is believed he had been working on it for more than thirty years.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A profound meditation on the rhythms
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An exquisite book, somewhat autobiographical, by an eminent Italian jurist, published posthumously and his only work of fiction. Tells of life in Sardinia (Nuoro) in the early 1900s. A true and instant modern Italian classic, right up there with The Leopard (the Sicilian version, if you will). Used the last lines of the book as the epigram to my own novel.
