Description
One day, a soothsayer on the shore of Lake Baikal, Siberia, told Alberto Giuliani that he would die a violent death sometime between 2020 and 2021. He never fully believed the prophecy, until it was confirmed by a shaman in Vrindavan, India. The shaman told him to always wear a yellow sapphire on his right index finger. The stone would help him choose between life and death, when the fateful day would come. The two prophecies have left Alberto with a hunger to know what the future of humanity will look like – because he may not be here to witness it firsthand. And so, he started travelling, in search for an answer.

il Saggiatore
Established by Alberto Mondadori in 1958, il Saggiatore is an independent publishing house focused on literary fiction and non-fiction, with a particular emphasis on science, history and economics. Our wide-ranging non-fiction list comprises the likes of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jean-Paul Sartre, Fernand Braudel, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Daron Acemoglu, Paul Mason, Jaron Lanier, Joseph Mazur, Mark Cousins and Piero Camporesi, among others. Our ever-growing literary fiction list includes Allen Ginsberg, Witold Gombrowicz, Joan Didion, Geoff Dyer, Olivia Laing, Esther Kinsky, Mircea Cărtărescu, László Darvasi, Akwaeke Emezi, Emma Glass, Mike McCormack and David Peace, to name just a few. Shortly after the birth of the publishing house, speaking to an Italian newspaper, Alberto Mondadori said: “I’m an explorer, I like to travel in time”. Sixty years later, his words and his vision live on, and il Saggiatore’s project is still the same: to publish books that can stand the test of time.
