Edited, translated and with a foreword by Margaret Crosland. Cesare Pavese is often referred to as one of the most influential Italian writers of his time. Pavese moved in antifascist circles. In 1935 he was arrested and convicted for having letters from a political prisoner. After World War II, he joined the Italian Communist Party and worked on the party's newspaper, L'Unità. Depression, the failure of a brief love affair with the actress Constance Dowling, were dedicated, and political disillusionment led him to his suicide by an overdose of barbiturates in 1950. Leslie Fiedler wrote of Pavese's death ".for the Italians, his death has come to have a weight like that of Hart Crane for us, a meaning that penetrates back into his own work and functions as a symbol in the literature of an age." The circumstances of his suicide, which took place in a hotel room, mimic the last scene of Tra Donne Sole (Among Women Only), his penultimate book. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2315APR011
