The edition included 25 copies on Japon paper, numbered from 1 to 25, and 500 copies on standard laid paper, numbered from 26 to 525.
The work gathers narrative and reflective prose by Cardarelli, a central figure of Italian literature of the 20th century and among the protagonists of the cultural experience of the review La Ronda.

Original first edition in numbered print run, kept in its vintage editorial softcover.
