Maktab-i diktaturha ̄

"Arriva sempre un'età in cui i giovani trovano insipido il pane e il vino della propria casa. Essi cercano altrove il loro nutrimento. Il pane e il vino delle osterie che si trovano nei crocicchi delle grandi strade possono solo calmare la loro fame e la loro sete. Ma l'uomo non può vivere tutta la sua vita nelle osterie". Vino e pane racconta il ritorno di Pietro Spina, giovane intellettuale di estrazione borghese che aveva abbandonato i suoi luoghi per seguire un ideale rivoluzionario. Nelle vicende di questo personaggio tormentato fra paura e coraggio, braccato, costretto a vivere nascosto e travestito, riemergono i motivi cari alla letteratura di Silone: il dibattito sulla rivoluzione, la fede, la giustizia, l'indagine sulla società dei cafoni, sulle sue reazioni al fascismo, il richiamo della terra natale e della memoria

Vino e pane

Darina Silone

The desolate, impoverished mountain region of the Abruzzo during Mussolini's reign provides the backdrop for the three greatest novels of Ignazio Silone, one of the century's most important writers. Together, these revolutionary works create an indelible image of ordinary people struggling against overwhelming events.

The Abruzzo Trilogy

Set and written in Fascist Italy, this book exposes that regime's use of brute force for the body and lies for the mind. Through the story of the once exiled Pietro Spina, Italy comes alive with priests and peasants, students and revolutionaries, all on the brink of war.

The Seed Beneath the Snow

Cultural Writing. Memoir. Edited and translated from the Italian by Stanislao G. Pugliese. Ignazio Silone, anti-fascist and founding member of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) offers a politically conscious and soul searching memoir which details his own PSI activities and the various factors engendering the necessity for action on behalf of liberty and democracy among the working classes. Over the course of his political career, Silone wrote a number of fiction and non-fiction works, and was imprisoned in Italy, France, Spain, and finally in Switzerland where he composed this memoir in 1942. Often compared with Andre Malraux and Albert Camus, Silone was awarded an honorary degree by Yale University, was a recipient of the Jerusalem Prize, and was twice considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
