Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to describe and analyze the specific loneliness of Walter Ferranini, the protagonist of “Il comunista”, by Guido Morselli (1976). Even though constantly searching for success and praise – as probably it was for Guido Morselli, too – Ferranini lives his grey, unsuccessful, unhappy life in a particular way, which makes him a silent, unrecognized hero, and which gives a special “light” to the full novel.
