SELECTED WORKS BY IGNAZIO SILONE
For outstanding reconstructions of Silone’s body of work, the reader is referred to the extensive bibliography that runs more than fifty pages in Bruno Falcetto’s meticulous Ignazio Silone, Romanzi e saggi, 2 vols.

Also instrumental in tracing Silone’s work is the “Cronologia delle Opere” compiled by Diocleziano Giardini in Ignazio Silone: Cronologia della vita e delle opere (Cerchi: Adelmo Polla, 1999) and the selected bibliography in Deborah Holmes’s Ignazio Silone in Exile: Writing and Antifascism in Switzerland, 1929–1944 (Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2005).
