Nights on the Heights is the second of a trilogy of novels published by Bonaviri from the late sixties to the early seventies - all dealing with exploratory travel, incredible pursuits and strange adventures. Written in an inimitable style, in a language at once archaistic and ultramodern, lyrical and prosaic, this unusual work stands out prominently in the panorama of contemporary Italian narration. Although set primarily in and around Mineo, Sicily - the navel of the author's universe or, as he once called it, his 'observatory' - the action spreads radially to other, sometimes distant locations, extending also into the realms of mythology. A cornucopia of true and imagined realities, of ancient and modern philosophy, of primitive and futuristic science, this absorbing, unclassifiable novel now appears in English for the first time.

The Author: 'Bonaviri, in Nights on the Heigts, as well as in his other creative works, is still the child who opens his eyes on the world and discovers its marvels, which he then communicates to others in a sort of cosmic brotherhood with all creation. He continues to be fascinated by those thousands of secret voices which come to him from a culture developed over the centuries and which, among contradictions, uncertainties and doubts, reveal to him the secrets of men, animals, rocks and trees - of the stars, of the seas, of the heavens and those of ideas.' - Franco Borrelli, Senior Editor, America Oggi.
