Christ Stopped at Eboli
Exiled to a remote and barren corner of Italy for his opposition to Mussolini, in Christ Stopped at Eboli, Carlo Levi entered a world cut off from history and the state, hedged in by custom and sorrow, without comfort or solace, where, eternally patient, the peasants lived in an age-old stillness and in the presence of death. Part documentary novel, part travelogue, Levi’s exile was influenced by his anti-fascist beliefs, and he paints an enduring and captivating image of an Italy unknown to many outsiders and even Italians themselves.
