isbn = 8807830191"Altri Libertini" is the first book by the Italian writer,Pier Vittorio Tondelli .It was published in 1980 by Feltrinelli and features a collection of six stories which are tightly connected to one another: "Postoristoro", "Mimi e istrioni", "Viaggio", "Senso contrario", "Altri libertini", and "Autobahn". The stories feature the lives and exploits of young men and women caught up in the 1980s, and Tondelli, through his writings, depicts their dreams, pains, emotional outbursts, ingenuity and, at times, their irreparable mistakes.

While the book is a series of short stories, the author preferred to describe the work as a "romanzo a episodi" (serial novel) [ [http://tondelli.comune.correggio.re.it/database/correggio/tondelli.nsf/b4604a8b566ce010c125684d00471e00/207bcd4694dada86c1256c000059de02!OpenDocument Centro di Documentazione Pier Vittorio Tondelli - Correggio - Pier Vittorio Tondelli - Altri libertini ] ] , in order to emphasis the thread that connected all of the stories to each other.
