Description
At precisely nine o'clock, as he did every evening, Don Sebastiano Sanna Carboni pushed back his armchair, carefully folded the newspaper which he had read to the very last line, tidied up the little things on his desk, and prepared to go down to the ground floor...
Around the turn of the twentieth century, in the isolated Sardinian town of Nuoro, the aristocratic notary Don Sebastiano Sanna reflects on his life, his family's history and the fortunes of this provincial backwater where he has lived out his days.

Reviews
-
The Day of Judgment is that now improbable gift, for which one cannot be too thankful: a great European novel
Susan Sontag
-
One of the great twentieth-century novels... The book's saturnine vision of Sardinian life, heavy with nostalgia for the past, contributes to an unforgettably powerful epic of war and diaspora'
