In the collection "The grain of the violet" the author handles the poetic word to find the possible way to go when there is no surrender to neglect, abandonment, absence, human misery. To resist and oppose the ugliness of life, he sought the answer in the simplicity and sweetness of a small flower. He chose the viola, often cultured and kept in his favorite book or diary as a thought of love or, even, to stop a memory (R. P. from Letter to the reader).
