The story invites readers into a poignant, atmospheric world filled with veteran sailors whose lives are intertwined with the Adriatic Sea, exploring themes of memory, mortality, and the collective experiences of men who once ruled the waves. It touches upon the essence of their stories, revealing a tapestry of past glories and haunting experiences. The opening of the novel introduces a narrator in a secluded setting with eight elderly men, remnants of the illustrious maritime tradition of their people. As a storm brews outside, these old sailors share their memories and legends, igniting a dialogue that oscillates between humor and melancholy. Each character, while ravaged by time, brings forth a unique narrative filled with superstitions and fears involving a mystical force known as "Scïò," which acts as a personification of the storm, embodying both existential dread and the weight of their former lives at sea. The narrator is both fascinated and apprehensive as he navigates their tales of haunting memories and the fearsome entity of the sea, setting a tone of introspective contemplation.
