Essays on India (Hesperus Modern Voices) [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

'Levi had an unusual depth of vision in a spectrum not accessed by most writers, and if his reports of what he sees in it are sometimes, even frequently pseudish, gnomic or simply unmoving, when he hits his mark, he does so cleanly and gives the sense of an essential truth being revealed.' --Laurahird.com

With his typically perceptive insights, Levi writes evocatively on his experiences in India, including his interview with Pandit Nehru, his tour of a tent city at a political convention, and his meeting with a Hindu nationalist party. This only available edition of a fascinating account of his impressions of the subcontinent is a valuable addition to the tradition of Western writing on India, made all the more fascinating by the influence that Levi’s famous memoir of exile Christ Stopped at Eboli has had on many Indian intellectuals. Published in 1945, that account of his time spent in exile in Italy after being arrested in connection with his political activism introduced the trend toward social realism in post-war Italian literature.
