About the author

Iginio Ugo Tarchetti was an Italian author, poet, and journalist.

Born in San Salvatore Monferrato, his military career was cut short by ill health, and in 1865 he settled in Milan. Here he entered literary study, becoming part of the Scapigliatura, a literary movement animated by a spirit of rebellion against traditional culture. He worked on several newspapers and published short stories, novels, and poems. He contracted tuberculosis and died in poverty at the age of 29. [wikipedia]

Reviews

[Sofi]

Ho amato Fosca, la figura pre-vampiresca che tarchetti delinea in una donna a prima vista fragile e nell'uomo che la ama nonostante tutto. E' stato il primo racconto "gotico" che ho letto e allora non sapevo che mi avrebbe avvicinato al genere tanto da scriverne ben due tesi a riguardo. Grazie Tarchetti per il mondo che mi hai fatto conoscere.
