The book: "Eboli - say the Lucanians among whom Levi was sent into confinement by fascism - is the last town of Christians. Christian is equal to man. In the following towns, ours, one does not live as Christians, but as animals". Italo Calvino says in one of the two texts that introduce this volume: "The peculiarity of Carlo Levi lies in this: that he is the witness of the presence of another time within our time, he is the ambassador of another world within our world. We can define this world as the world that lives outside of our history in contrast to the world that lives within history. Naturally, this is an external definition, it is, let’s say, the starting situation of Carlo Levi's work: the protagonist of "Cristo si è fermato a Eboli" is a man engaged in history who finds himself in the heart of a witch-like, magical South, and sees that those reasons that were at play for him no longer hold, other reasons are at play, other oppositions that are at the same time more complex and more elementary". The author: Carlo Levi was an Italian writer, painter, and anti-fascist. Among the most significant narrators of the twentieth century in Italy, he is known mainly for the novel Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, which made him one of the major spokespersons for the southern question in the post-war period.
