In 8°; 141, (3) pp. Brossura editoriale. Prima ed unica rara edizione di questo curiosa opera che ripercorre la vita del padre missionario Stefano (fu missionario in Iran nella zona di Bampur, in India a Bombay dove entrò in contatto con la religione tibetana criticandola aspramente e in Africa nella zona dei grandi laghi) descritte dalla mano di Oreste Guerra posseduta dal fantasma dello stesso Frate Stefano. Si legge all'inizio del volume: “Amici lettori che Vi apprestate a leggere questo libro, Vi meraviglierete ancor di più nell'apprendere che io nacqui novantacinque anni orsono e che le vicende sono scritte da un mortale comune, dietro l'impulso che lo “spirito” mio sa imprimere alla sua mano. Il captare spiriti dell'aldilà è un dono di cui Dio benefica il credente nelle Sue leggi: l'uomo mortale ha questi poteri e il connubio è spontaneo con gli spiriti eletti. Preciso che il mandante è in sintonia con Dio, il portatore è consapevole del mio desiderio di propagare la luce divina. L'uomo che mi rappresenta è un mio seguace da oltre venticinque anni; il suo nome è Oreste Guerra.”. Opera curiosa e rarissima.

br. Questa narrazione si muove in lungo e in largo per le strade di Bombay, e ritrae la città attraverso le mille storie dei suoi abitanti, dai più famosi (compresi gangster e attori) alla gente comune. Metha ricerca nella brutale Bombay di oggi quella che ha abbandonato vent'anni prima e la ritrova moltiplicata e smembrata. E a poco a poco mette a nudo i fili tesi tra gli attici scintillanti affacciati sull'oceano e il mare di baracche dove milioni di persone vivono una vita durissima.
