About the author

Silvio D’Arzo (pseudonym of Ezio Comparoni) was born in Reggio nell'Emilia in 1920. He wrote of the loneliness of the human being, the unpredictability of destiny, the search for a consolation that gives meaning to existence. Despite his untimely death, his production is wide and heterogeneous, including essays on English and American literature (Stevenson and Conrad in particular), and several poems. However, today he is mostly remembered as a fiction writer. His best-known short novella is The House of the Others, described by Eugenio Montale as "a perfect story".
