MOONSTONES

Anyone who has read Moonstones and then seen Gladiator will have to ask himself, did Ridely Scott copy Buticchi?
La Nazione, Il Resto del Carlino and Il Giorno

Gladiator and Moonstones: two almost identical stories, with one troubling thing, Buticchi’s novel was written at least five years before Ridley Scott’s film was released.

This declaration of “finally” is not an understatement. In fact, we have been waiting years for the arrival of “one of our own” authors capable of competing with the most famous Anglo-Saxon adventure writers: Ken Follett, Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Scott Turow, John Le Carre, Thomas Harris , Wilbur Smith and Tom Clancy…
