Description

It used to be to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi―a physician, painter, philosopher, and man of letters―used to be confined as a political prisoner as a result of his opposition to Italy’s Fascist government in the beginning of the Ethiopian war in 1935. At the same time as there, Levi reflected at the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the similar lives their ancestors had, repeatedly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a spot and a people living out of doors the boundaries of progress and time.
