Summary
Christ Stopped at Eboli: A Journey into Italy’s Forgotten Soul
“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, the peasants lived in an age-old stillness and in the presence of death, eternally patient. For Christ did stop at Eboli.

About The Author
Carlo Levi
Carlo Levi was an Italian-Jewish writer, journalist, artist, and doctor born in Turin in 1902. He practiced medicine until 1930. In 1935, he was exiled to the province of Lucania due to his antifascist activities. Levi lived in France between 1939 and 1941, and his documentary novel, CHRIST STOPPED AT EBOLI, achieved international success.
