Il camino è una parte fondamentale di una casa. Certe volte, tanto fondamentale da dover essere difesa a ogni costo. In questo geniale racconto, la vicenda di un protagonista visceralmente affezionato al suo camino regala a Melville lo spunto per proporre una piccola perla di umorismo e un’ironica disamina sulla società e i rapporti familiari dell’America di metà Ottocento.
