Holunder call me, but my name, in fact, Caesar, a Roman elder aspirations Habsburg. I am a friend of the crows and many other poor animals. The family of these "beautiful" birds cawing, closer to me, is that of Susa, the name of the mother of my friends, who always has his head in his homeland, the great city of Piedmont. Sosa, however, is her husband's name which etymologically comes from "if it dares to do 'quarcosa" etc will happen. etc. Sosin and plum are the children that ensure the survival of the species. Plum is as sweet as a fruit, Sosin is the son of the above is not allowed anything to the contrary, the small is still "worse": "s'osi to think, 'ar kitten go in my mouth - s'os ino." Another faithful friend is the African lion, which speaks for itself: "I, Hassan, son of Mohamed the truck, I, Giovanni Leone de 'Medici, circumcised at the hands of a barber and baptized at the hands of a Pope, I am now called the African, but they are African neither European nor Arabic ... I am the son of the road, my country is the caravan, my life is the most unpredictable of the crossings. "
In this imaginary but firmly documented autobiography is told the adventurous and unique existence of Hassan al-Wazzan, first ambassador to travelers and rulers of the Maghreb, then, after being captured by pirates and given to the Sicilian Renaissance Pope Leo X, a geographer in the name of Leo Africanus. The story of Leo Africanus guide us from city to city - Granada, Fez, Timbuktu, Cairo, Constantinople - through intense and dazzling colors of Africa, with its polychrome markets, courts and gardens of colorful dream, then in Rome in the sumptuous palaces of the Vatican, St. Peter's Square in bustling crowd, into the eternal city abandoned to the mercenaries. Inspired by a true cosmopolitan spirit, Leo Africanus will learn from his constant travels to never give up on himself, confident that "God's earth is vast, and wide His hands and His heart."
Among men and women belonging to a world rank higher taxonomic status of my Linn (Carl von Linné), the figure stands Arturo, the keeper of the Great Bear, but also the keeper of sheep via Appia Antica, goose and their son, Konrad Lorentz.
