Synopsis "The Fall "

A highly personal story tackling universal subjects: what it means to be human, what it means to be happy, the love of a father for his sick child.      Knowing how to fall is much more valuable than knowing how to walk.’The Fall is a memoir like no other. Its 424 short texts match the number of steps taken by Diogo Mainardi’'s son Tito as he walks, with great difficulty, with his father around Venice, the city where the disastrous birth took place that left him with cerebral palsy. It is the story of a father and his love for his handicapped son, bristling with family history, art, literature and ideas. From Marcel Proust to Neil Young, Sigmund Freud to Humpty Dumpty, Renaissance Venice to the camp at Auschwitz, Mainardi charts the trajectory of the Western world, with Tito at its centre, showing how his fate has been shaped by history.A bestseller in Brazil, executed with disarming simplicity; by turns angry, joyful, and always generous, wise and surprising, The Fall is an astonishing book -- and it is a privilege to walk beside them.
