My Enemy's worst Enemy: My Best Friend

Poznan, a successful architect and fairly rich man, is in search of peace and a quiet life. He takes it into his head to buy an unsalable property at the foot of a dormant volcano which had stopped erupting some fifty years ago. There, in the soil fertilized by the lava, he grows fruit trees and vines and bedomes richer still. He founds and runs a farmstead where he helps dozens of people, once beggars at his door. They, earn a living in their work, to their profit and his. Very soon he had to struggle against the local mafia and had to pay them a monthly “fee” for ‘protection’ from the terrorism they themselves are creating. He is also molested by the wife of a false friend who was anxious to get rid of her. Resuming his efforts for peace, he struggles against them all, with only the volcano for an ally.
