Synopsis

In 1935, Carlo Levi, a doctor and intellectual, was exiled to a remote region of southern Italy for his opposition to the Fascist government. This book is his account of life among the impoverished peasants of Lucania, a land seemingly untouched by modern progress. Levi reflects on their ancient customs, superstitions, and the harsh realities of their existence, offering a moving portrait of a forgotten people and place.
