Summary

A man lives in total solitude in an abandoned mountain village. But each night, at the same hour, a mysterious distant light appears on the far side of the valley and disturbs his isolation. What is it? Someone in another deserted village? A forgotten street lamp? An alien being? Finally the man is driven to discover its source. He finds a young boy who also lives alone, in a house in the middle of the forest. But who really is this child? The answer at the secret heart of this novel is both uncanny and profoundly touching. Antonio Moresco's "Little Prince" is a moving meditation on life and the universe we inhabit. Moresco reflects on the solitude and pain of existence, but also on what we share with all around us, living and dead.

Author Biography

Antonio Moresco is the author of nearly twenty works, including fiction and essay collections. He co-founded the collective blog Nazione Indiana and is a contributing editor for the literary journal Il Primo Amore. His debut book of short stories, Clandestinità (Underground) appeared in 1993, when the author was forty-seven years old. A succession of novels soon followed, most importantly the first two volumes of his trilogy, L'increato (The Uncreated). He is still at work on the third volume.
