Samenvatting

The hottest summer of the twentieth century. A tiny community of five houses enclosed by wheat fields. While the adults shelter indoors, six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside. Whilst exploring a dilapidated and uninhabited farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano discovers a secret so momentous, so terrible, that he dare not tell anyone about it. To come to terms with what he has found, Michele has to draw strength from his own sense of humanity. It is Ammaniti's ability to inhabit the mind and perspective of his young hero that makes I'm Not Scared such an affecting and extraordinary novel. The book is a masterpiece of coming of age; a compelling portrait of losing one's innocence and a powerful reflection on the complexities and compromises inherent in growing up.

    Strong, emotionally harrowing drama situated in 1978 in rural Italy, told through the eyes of Michele (aged 9). He lives in a poor hamlet composed of four small houses and a country manor. He is one of six children always playing together. Their leader is dictatorial, a prosecutor and judge rolled into one, who meets out punishment with impunity. The youngest member of the posse is five, the oldest 11, two are girls. During a hot summer they discover an isolated, ruined house. Michele is ordered by the 11-year old dictator to examine the collapsed house from front to back. Michele is challenged physically and mentally … What he sees in a hole in the ground at the back of the ruin at a spot overgrown with bush and brambles, is something he cannot judge. He says nothing to the posse but sneaks away on his bike the next day to have another look. And then again, and again…
    On almost every page, hero and raconteur Michele struggles against his many childhood fears, nightmares and tears, with conflicting loyalties and worries about the welfare of his adored mother, and finds inspiration only in heroes from the world of cartoons. Niccolò Ammaniti is a superb storyteller and is at his best when he writes from the perspective of children: in ‘Steal you Away’ (1999; tr. 2007), it is 12-year old Pietro, in his recent novella ‘Me and You’ (2012), the severely self-centered and neurotic 14-year old Lorenzo surpasses himself.
    Ammaniti masters several genres. His tragicomedies are well laid out and written with plenty of atmosphere and good dialogues. But his serious dramas such as ‘Me and You’ and this novel are my favorites. Brilliantly planned and written, leaving the reader space to enrich and interpret what is put on paper. This novel is also a real thriller with a dramatic ending. Highly recommended.
