Bücher von Arturo Vivante

This collection represents Arturo Vivante's quest to use writing to uncover hidden truths. Although not explicitly autobiographical, many of these stories do have an autobiographical tone. Vivante's stories often stem from the observation of a bright or meaningful moment and always centre on exploring the ideas and emotions of his characters.

Fabio Diodati begins an idyllic childhood and boyhood first in Rome and Siena, then in England where his family went as refugees in 1938. Then, in the midst of a snow storm in 1941, the seventeen-year-old escapes to Montreal where, in the space of little more than a day, he finds freedom, first love, and goes out to meet his fate at sea.
