The Watch: A Novel

Carlo Levi

The watch, first published in 1950, is a portrait of Rome and Italy in the dopoguerra -- the period after the war -- when the heroism and sacrifice of the partisan war against the Germans ran head-on into a rockwall of conservative reaction. The year is 1948, the main character works for a newspaper in Rome, his friends and family and partisan comrades are all trying to get by and make do. The watch of the title was given to the hero by his father; it's broken, he thinks of fixing it, then wonders if it would be cheaper to buy a new, modern watch. Around him people are forever talking, looking for jobs, wasting time in cafes, grumbling about big business, the church, conservative politicians. The hero is summoned to Naples to visit the sickbed of a favorite uncle. The trip south is dangerous and difficult, along ruined roads through country infested by bandits. The passengers are crowded, they complain and tell stories, all have suffered, none has given up hope.

Christ Stopped at Eboli: The Story of a Year

Carlo Levi

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.
