Original illustration made by Pratt for the volume "Avevo un appuntamento", published for the first time by Socrates in 1994. A book that collects the suggestions of Pratt himself, his travel with his mind to distant and exotic lands in a game of references , memories and citations between history, cinema and literature. Work republished in the volume "Hugo Pratt: Periplo immaginario" on page 391 by Lizard in 2005. << I came to the Pacific in search, or perhaps, in pursuit of a dream. I had appointments halfway between reality and fantasy and, in this enchanted world, all the images I've seen, the stories I've read, the colors I've dreamed of come true, filtered by a magical network that guides me through the past to reinterpret the present >>. (Hugo Pratt)
