(Paperback)

Exiled to a remote and barren corner of Italy for his opposition to Mussolini, 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 - for Christ did stop at Eboli.

(Paperback)

Part autobiography, part sociological study, part travel memoir - a reissue of Carlo Levi's classic book on life in a small, desolate Italian town during the 1930s.
