There is a moment when the world seems to hold its breath. It is the dawn of 1912, at pier 59 in New York, as thousands of people await the arrival of the largest ocean liner ever built. From that moment, A Glorious Morning comes to life, the new novel by Antonio Monda, an intense work that intertwines private stories and great historical events, transforming anticipation into a powerful narrative about ambition, hope, and the fragility of existence.
Antonio Monda will guide the audience on a journey through his New York: a magnetic, contradictory, and universal city, where every destiny is put to the test. Among real historical figures and characters born from imagination, the novel creates a collective fresco that reflects on the great questions of our time: identity, migration, power, faith, and the desire for redemption.
A writer, professor at New York University, journalist, and refined observer of contemporary culture, Monda will offer a meeting rich in suggestions, capable of bridging literature, history, and current affairs. An unmissable appointment for those who love great stories and the cities that change the destinies of men.
