One of the 20th century's essential novels depicting Fascism's rise in Italy.
Set and written in Fascist Italy, this book exposes that regime's use of brute force for the body and lies for the mind. Through the story of the once-exiled Pietro Spina, Italy comes alive with priests and peasants, students and revolutionaries, all on the brink of war.

By the time of his death in 1978, he had been nominated for the Nobel prize for literature 10 times.
