"Give me the book." Linda laid on the table the closed volume in its worn leather cover, the Bible given him ages ago by an Englishman in Palermo. "The child had to be protected," he said, in a strange, mournful voice. (III.13.132)
At the end of the novel, old Giorgio goes back to reading his bible after shooting Nostromo. Linda notes that he seems to be a bit out of it, changed by the act that he committed but totally in denial about it. It seems that he's trying to take refuge in the book that accompanied him into battle, even thought shooting a defenseless man and going into battle are way different.
