«Le Christ s'est arrêté à Éboli» is the autobiographical account by Carlo Levi, published by Folio in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The title alludes to the phrase of the peasants of a village in Lucania: Christ stopped at Eboli and never reached their land. Carlo Levi, a doctor and artist confined there for his anti-fascist activism between 1935 and 1936, portrays the misery and dignity of a forgotten rural community. The work became a classic of Italian literature.
Work originally published in Italian as «Cristo si è fermato a Eboli» in 1945; the 1977 French edition includes the translation by Jeanne Modigliani.
For readers interested in Italian literature, autobiographical accounts and the social history of rural twentieth-century Italy.
Carlo Levi was an Italian painter, writer, activist, independent leftist politician, and doctor.
