The novel follows Pietro Spina, a communist intellectual who returns clandestinely to fascist Italy to reorganize the party in his hometown.

It is the second installment of the Abruzzi trilogy; the original work dates from 1937.
For readers of Italian fiction and twentieth-century classics interested in the novel of political and social commitment.
Secondino Tranquilli, best known by the pseudonym Ignazio Silone, was an Italian politician and writer. He became famous during World War II for his anti-fascist novels. Considered among the most well-known and read Italian intellectuals in Europe and in the world, his most famous novel, Fontamara, became emblematic for its denunciation of the condition of poverty, injustice, and social oppression of the lower classes, and has been translated into numerous languages. From 1946 to the 1970s, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least 13 times.
