The Baratti pinewood is a magical place. An architect, Vittorio Giorgini, once built a house that was shaped like a whale. The protagonist remembers that she has been there a long time ago, but his amnesia becomes more labory when she approaches the house, breathes its scent, caresses the shapes. The house is like a whale that strand on the beach, metaphor of the struggles that its inventor did against everything and against all, a kind of modern Achab.
