About this book

The preface says the story’s chief incidents are founded on an actual occurrence in Naples and offers that statement against the possibility that readers may find the story improbable. The narrator decides that a different name is necessary and resolves to adopt the name of a school friend to whom he was deeply attached in childhood.

The narrator tells Andrea to ask for Count Cesare Oliva and says that he will return shortly to Naples, where Andrea can find him. The narrator examines a portrait of his wife in her bridal dress, taken as she looked when she married him.
