Cesare Pavese was one of Italy's great post-war writers. His
poetry was revolutionary--both artistically and
politically--rejecting the verbal and philosophical constraints of
tradition and utilizing direct, colloquial language. His subjects
were peasants, hobos, and prostitutes, and this bilingual volume
includes all the poetry Pavese ever published, including work
originally deleted by Fascist censors. A landmark volume.
Cesare Pavese (1908-50) was a novelist, poet, and translator and
a major literary figure in post-war Italy. He brought American
influence to Italian literature through his translations. Pavese's
flight from the Fascists and subsequent confinement were reflected
in his writings, which dealt with social struggle and revealed his
sympathy for the oppressed. He committed suicide at the height of
his literary powers.
