PRESS RELEASE The Affiori publishing house, a branch of Giulio Perrone Editore dedicated to debut authors, announces the release of "L’abbecedario del caffè", the first novel by Umberto Mancini.
A work that delicately addresses crucial themes such as the fear of diversity, immigration and the importance of knowledge to overcome cultural barriers. The story is set between 2015 and 2016 and tells the story of the meeting between Andrea, a Neapolitan professional, and Ameer, a young Libyan migrant, during a train journey from Milan to Paris. Fear and prejudice will turn into an opportunity for growth and change for both protagonists.
"L’abbecedario del caffè" offers a reflection on the fear of the foreigner, a feeling often fueled by ignorance and misinformation. Through the intense relationship between Andrea and Ameer, the novel leads us to reflect on how the fear of Islam and immigrants is deeply rooted in prejudice. Ameer does not only represent the migrant fleeing across the sea, but the human being in search of a new life, carrying with him the weight of his own fears and hopes. Andrea's story highlights how knowledge is a fundamental tool for overcoming isolation and misunderstanding. The encounter with Ameer pushes Andrea to review his certainties, showing him a reality that he had never considered. It is thanks to this connection that Andrea rediscovers the value of openness and dialogue, demonstrating that only through listening and understanding can we truly welcome the other.
A current and profound story set in the context of the 2016 Brussels attacks: what happens when individual fears mix with tragic news events? The book does not simply tell a dramatic story, but invites a broader reflection on the challenges that our society must face when it comes to integration and coexistence.
