Synopsis:
In the south of Italy, between Apulia and Calabria, lies a barren, desolate, and malarial land where the peasants Live out their existence in poverty and in the presence of death. It was here, in primitive Lucania, at the start of the Ethiopian war (1935), that Carte Levi -- doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters -- was confined as a political prisoner because of his uncompromising opposition to Fascism. As a doctor, he was able to come close to the peasants suffering. With a painter's eye he saw the grotesqueness, beauty, and the stubborn grandeur of their land. As a man of understanding, he was patient with their foibles, sympathetic with their legends, wisely human and deeply sensitive. This classic, starkly beautiful memoir -- part diary, part political essay, part social documentary -- is the story of the year Levi spent in Lucania and of the people who became his friends.
Review:
"A sensitive and gifted writer with a great sense of style...perhaps the best thing in this book is the detachment by which he avoids sentimentalizing the peasants and at the same time renders their underscored feelings for human values."
Alfred Kazin, New York Herald Tribune Book Review
