The Lantern

By Roger Corti

Lantern is a quiet novel about what happens when one person chooses to pause.

When a small act of calm interrupts a rising wave of fear, Arthur-retired, thoughtful, and unassuming-does not set out to change anything. He simply responds with steadiness. What follows is not a movement, but a remembering.

As the rhythm of pausing, listening, and gentleness begins to travel through a community, Arthur must face an unexpected question: how do you care for something that was never meant to belong to you?

Lantern is a story about attention, humility, and the power of small responses in noisy times.

A novel for readers who believe that kindness does not need to shout to be heard.
