Corto Maltese #11 [14]

In "La casa dorata di Samarcanda [parte seconda]", Corto Maltese journeys through the turbulent landscapes of the early 20th century, navigating the shifting borders of the Turkish Republic, the Soviet Union, and Reza Pahlavi’s Iran. Driven by a quest for a legendary treasure said to be hidden by Alexander the Great, his path becomes entangled with a deeper mission—one that could free Rasputin from captivity. Along the way, he encounters the rich tapestry of cultures and secrets shaping a world in transition.

Tutto ricominciò con un'estate indiana unfolds in the 1600s near the frontier settlement of New Canaan in New England, where peaceful relations between English colonists and local Native Americans have endured for years. A sudden, violent clash erupts one autumn day beneath a sky still glowing with the lingering warmth of an Indian summer, igniting long-suppressed tensions in a Puritan community haunted by forbidden desires and buried passions.
