«La paga del sabato» is Beppe Fenoglio's posthumous novel, published by Einaudi in paperback (136 pages, in Italian).
After returning from the partisan war, Ettore, a young misfit with a violent temper, cannot accept the monotonous civilian routine and gets involved in shady dealings that restore his sense of being alive. In a short novel, Fenoglio condenses his great themes: discontent, love, freedom and disenchantment, with the guerrilla experience as a backdrop.
It belongs to the Einaudi tascabili. Scrittori collection. This edition includes an introduction by Alessandro Baricco, a note and essential bibliography by Ernesto Ferrero, and a chronology of the life and works.
For readers of twentieth-century Italian fiction interested in the Resistance and the aftermath of war on young ex-combatants.
