In 1944, amidst the war in the Langhe hills, partisan Milton is driven by a personal matter to abandon his post and seek the truth behind his lover Fulvia's betrayal. His quest takes him through fog, rain, and mud, confronting fascist squads in a display of solitary heroism with grave collective consequences. This novel by Beppe Fenoglio, hailed as the author's most perfect work, explores themes of love, war, and betrayal within the context of the Italian resistance.
Giuseppe "Beppe" Fenoglio was an Italian writer, partisan and translator from English. The works of Fenoglio have two main themes: the rural world of the Langhe, where he was born and raised, and the Italian resistance movement, both largely inspired by his own personal experiences in them; equally, the writer has two styles: the chronicle and the epos.
