Overview

It was to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi—a doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters—was confined as a political prisoner because of his opposition to Italy’s Fascist government at the start of the Ethiopian war in 1935. While there, Levi reflected on the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the same lives their ancestors had, constantly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a place and a people living outside the boundaries of progress and time.

    Great reads!

    I enjoyed both books, they were most informative of the area of Lucania/Basilicata,Italy.
    Lucania is a very hard region.The people from there are fiercly strong and devoted to their land..
    I was inspired by the strenght of such a great people,people that time seems to have forgotten.The Lucanians are the true strenght of Italia!
    Italy is fortunate that Lucania forms the backbone of it's great nation.
    This land gave from before the early Greeks and then gave us the likes of Pythagorias from Metapontum.
    Once this was the poorest of lands but now has changed. Over the years oil has been discovered and is now known as the "Little Texas" of Europe.Hopefully one day it will forget poverty altogether.

    I happened upon this book by pure chance, sitting in a shelf in a rented apartment in Paris. I sat down to take a look in an odd moment and read the entire book in two days -- it was good enough to put a rare visit to the City of Light on hold! In describing his political exile (1935, under Italy's fascist regime, exiled as a dissident) in a remote, timeless Italian peasant village, Levi manages to capture -- and concisely explain -- the vast differences between our modern, historic, religious mindset and the innate, natural mindset of the 'pagan.' I found myself more than once reflecting, in spite of my assumed humanistic and liberal outlooks, on how out of touch I may be from our deepest human roots. I had to keep checking when Levi's stay in this remote part of Italy was to be sure this was not a book about life in the early Middle Ages. This was truly a fascinating, deeply reflective work that should be of interest to anyone concerned with 'the human condition.'
