About the Author:
Felice Benuzzi was born in Vienna in 1910 and grew up in Trieste, doing his early mountaineering in the Julian Alps. He studied law at Rome University and represented Italy as an international swimmer in 1933-35. Following the conclusion of the war he worked as a diplomat, including with the United Nations. He died in Rome in 1988.
Review:
Felice Benuzzi's tale is a real joy. An extraordinary adventure written with a light, deft, humorous touch that makes it irresistibly readable. And it certainly shows that the British don't have a monopoly of eccentricity. -- Michael Palin Mr. Benuzzi's paradoxical mixture of pride and self-mocking humility is attractive: his courage is amazing; his story, dramatic New York Times A most extraordinary prisoner-of-war and escape story New Yorker More electrifying than anything a person with a nose for real adventure could hope to read -- Piero Melati Repubblica A mad venture and a gallant tribute to man's deep yearning for freedom Kirkus Reviews The history of mountaineering can hardly present a parallel to this mad but thrilling escapade Saturday Review A hymn to mountaineering and adventure -- Marco Valle Il Secolo A first-rate humanistic account that should quite simply be considered a classic of Italian literature -- Pietro Spirito Il Piccolo
