Summary

Sadio Garavini Di Turno: Lolomai

One of the most exciting adventure novels in world literature, the testimony of a man who changed the life of an Indian tribe in an unexplored region of the Amazon.
Sadio Garavini Di Turno (1904-1991), the "king of adventurers", was born in Italy, and since childhood he dreamed of going to a distant world. The parents' hopes that they would one day see their son in the purple bishop's robes or the glittering admiral's robes were dashed when he ran away from a Catholic boarding school and then the naval academy. In Marseille, he boarded a merchant ship for the Far East, then continued his journey from port to port, thus realizing his boyhood dreams, and finally, at the age of 27, he found himself in the Amazon rainforest, in search of diamonds. This precious book-document is the true story of this adventurer, a sleepwalker of the new age, who comes to a kind of earthly paradise, far from any civilization, to an Indian tribe, where the daughter of the chief of the tribe lives, the Indian princess Lolomai, becomes his wife, only to incur the curse of modern civilization and force them to leave the land of their ancestors. Like Henri Charrier, the hero of the novel Leptir, who at that time escaped from prison in French Guiana and ended up in an Indian tribe, Sadio Garavini di Tourneau left behind this testimony about the secrets of disappearing people from which one can learn far more than from a hundred scientific studies. He died in his capacity as ambassador to Guatemala in 1991.
