"Eboli - say the Lucanians, among whom Levi was sent into exile by Fascism - is the last land of Christians. Christian is equal to man. In the lands beyond, ours, one does not live as Christians, but as animals." Italo Calvino says in one of the two texts introducing this volume: "The peculiarity of Carlo Levi lies in this: that he is the witness to 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 our history in the face of the world that lives within history. Naturally this is an external definition; it is, let us say, the starting point of Carlo Levi's work: the protagonist of "Christ Stopped at Eboli" is a man engaged in history who finds himself in the heart of a spellbound, magical South, and sees that those reasons that were at stake for him here no longer apply; other reasons are at stake, other oppositions at once more complex and more elementary." Carlo Levi was an Italian writer, painter, and anti-fascist. Among the most significant narrators of twentieth-century Italian literature, he is especially known for the novel Christ Stopped at Eboli, which made him one of the foremost spokesmen for the Southern Question in the postwar period.
