«Cristo si è fermato a Eboli» is the autobiographical chronicle by Carlo Levi, published by Einaudi in paperback (245 pages, in Italian).
It recounts Carlo Levi's confinement in Lucania between 1935 and 1936, when he was exiled for his activism in Giustizia e Libertà. Living among the peasants of southern Italy, it portrays a forgotten region: hardships, rites, superstitions, and distrust of a distant state, in a lyrical and meditative tone.
Originally published in 1945, this Italian edition from 1997 is the 7th and belongs to Einaudi's Gli struzzi collection (no. 74).
Recommended for readers interested in rural Italy, anti-fascism, and 20th-century autobiographical literature.
Carlo Levi was an Italian painter, writer, activist, independent leftist politician, and doctor.
