'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,where,eternally patient,the peasants lived in an age-old stillness and in the presence of death - for Christ did stop at Eboli.
