agree  Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A.: Not sure it's the right title for the book translated by the Asker (considering the context of other questions). But I really like your original consideration: "Immerso= down; Melma = Dirty" > "immerso nella melma"
20 hrs
  ->  unknown book, free translation,I'd say.
