Winner of the Premio Strega, Italy's most prestigious literary award, The Faithful Lover is a sumptuously imagined short story collection by renowned writer Massimo Bontempelli. From a young
boy's memorable encounter with an eccentric train passenger, to an elderly woman's hilarious final bequest, these powerful stories illuminate Bontempelli's belief that the wonders of the world
can be found all around us, dwelling within the realm of the everyday. The final masterpiece of one of the twentieth century's most innovative writers, The Faithful Lover is now available to
English-speaking audiences for the first time.
