Inn of the Survivors

Maico Morellini

Translated by Rose Facchini

Here, presented for the first time in English, in an excellent translation by Rose Facchini, is award-winning science fiction author Maico Morellini’s Inn of the Survivors, a visionary tale of climate dystopia, mystery, and longing for a lost world.

Amid the mists of the Po Valley forests and a desolate Adriatic, this is both an existential story of homesickness and a highly relevant warning for the world of today.
