The Silent Gondoliers
 The Silent Gondoliers (ISBN 0-345-44263-6) is a 1983 novel written by William Goldman under the pseudonym of S.

The tale of Luigi actually starts in Chapter III and the previous chapters I and II build up further mythology behind the name Morgenstern and the backstory of Gondolierian history.
