Milano, 1929, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 1290/1298 con 8 illustrazioni fotografiche. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Alex Ameno, un uomo dal passato burrascoso - terrorismo e intelligence oppresso dal suo vissuto di ex contestatore e da un sistema abrasivo nei confronti di qualsiasi vero antagonista, insegue una giovane brasiliana a Rio, dove tra sesso estremo, ritmi di samba e macumba e la frequentazione della mala carioca, viene coinvolto nella "guerra civile delle favelas" e sogna di organizzare un attentato.
