In turn a diary, an album of sketches, a novel, a sociological study and a political essay, this is an account of the author's exile to a remote and barren corner of Italy for his opposition to Mussolini. 'We're not Christians, Christ stopped short of here, at Eboli.' 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.
