«Christ Stopped at Eboli» is Carlo Levi's autobiographical account, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (256 pages, in English).
In 1935, for his opposition to fascism, Carlo Levi was confined to Lucania, an isolated region of southern Italy. There he lived among peasants who lived like their ancestors, detached from the state and from history, amid superstition, poverty and death. From that exile emerges a portrait of a rural world frozen in time.
English translation of «Cristo si è fermato a Eboli», a work originally published in Italian in 1945. 1990 edition in the Twentieth Century Classics series.
Aimed at readers of Italian history and those who enjoy classics of personal testimony and travel literature.
Carlo Levi was an Italian painter, writer, activist, independent leftist politician, and doctor.
