The Eight Mountains – Paolo Cognetti (Ukrainian Edition)

This is the Ukrainian edition of The Eight Mountains (Le otto montagne) by Paolo Cognetti, translated by Andrii Masliukh. It is a novel about friendship that lasts a lifetime, about fathers and sons, and about the kind of place you keep returning to even when everything else in your life has changed.

Pietro is a city boy who only sees the mountains in summer; his father lives for the Alps and longs to pass that passion on. Bruno has never lived anywhere else. Pietro sometimes thinks Bruno would have made a better son for his father. As adults they drift apart, until Pietro’s father dies and leaves him an unexpected inheritance: a plot of land high in the mountains, where the two old friends build a house together. Through all the trials that follow, that house remains their place of strength.

The novel won the Strega Prize and the Prix Médicis étranger in 2017 and has been translated in 39 countries. In 2022 it was adapted into a feature film. A slow, honest book for readers who love nature writing, male friendship stories and quiet, deeply felt prose.
