Quattromila anni di storia in quattrocento pagine, senza ridurli a un arido elenco di date e di nomi. Impossibile? Tutt'altro: in questa "Breve storia d'Italia" Alfio Caruso fonde documentazione e divulgazione, raccontando l'Italia attraverso i personaggi, le mode, i costumi, le invenzioni.

Alle soglie della follia, Nietzsche sosterrà di aver fatto all'umanità, con lo "Zarathustra", il più grande dono che essa abbia mai avuto: "Questo libro, una voce che passa sui millenni, non solo è il libro più alto che esista [...], ma anche il più profondo, generato dalla più intrinseca ricchezza della verità, una fonte inesauribile dove non si può calare il secchio senza farlo risalire colmo d'oro e di bontà". Perciò Nietzsche gli assegnerà una posizione preminente fra tutti i libri.
