＜p＞This is my version of an old African myth how elephants got their long trunks. If you have ever wondered why elephants are the only animal with such a long nose (trunk), read the book and find out how the old African people told the story to their children to make sense of it. Elephants couldn't reach high branches before they had trunks and it was difficult to drink water. Their long trunks are a huge benefit, find out how it all happened.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞The protagonist is Domenico, the young Abruzzese who at the beginning of the 1900s leaves his native town (Aielli in the heart of the Marsica) to go to work, like many other Italians, abroad and whom we met in the previous novel "Mathematical Intrigue in Buffalo". His great "passion", formulas and mathematical relationships, which had already aroused the wonder of the architect Wright, make the famous architect want him with him for the construction of two new buildings that he was commissioned to design. But Domenico is tied to his Erminia, the beautiful girl with whom he is always in love, and who has remained in the village waiting for him. Conflicts with himself: Wright's proposal is tempting; in addition to guaranteeing him years of work, he recognizes the man's ability and makes him feel proud of his image, of what he has managed to build even if with little education. What to do? The choice is difficult. The choice is to give a setting to one's life, to one's future. What will prevail? Love for her Erminia and her family or satisfy her personal pride, income, work? Determined, resolute, convinced, he chooses after having meditated and considered everything possible, sure that the choice made is for his own good.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Translated by Francesco Canizzi＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
