This is an excellent book. From the frontpiece...
"On the last long walk of his life, septuagenarian war hero, deserter, and professor, Alessandro Giuliani, shares his past with an illiterate young companion - spinning a remarkable tale of heart-stopping escapes, of loves unrequited and won, of madmen, dwarfs and mafiosi. But overshadowing all is his most miraculous and terrible adventure, the Great War - a surreal parade of horrors that devastated and defined Alessandro's existence...yet enabled him to experience fully the magic and beauty of the absurd human comedy called Life."
This is a must read on my bookshelf.
