Description:
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.
Expand description
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.
