Manituana by Wu Ming
A bloody historical epic of exodus and return, torn loyalties and desperate battles that spans the Atlantic, from the forests of America's northeast to the underworld of eighteenth-century London.
Wu Ming manage to construct stories articulated around the muscular fibres of history.. Manituana is not only a narrative about what could have been, but a cartography of the possible. -- Roberto Saviano
