Christ Stopped at Eboli
by Carlo Levi
Cristo si è fermato a Eboli is a memoir by the Italian doctor, writer and activist Carlo Levi, about the year he spent living in exile in an isolated village in southern Italy. Translated into English as Christ Stopped at Eboli, the title reflects the fact that Levi’s village was "so trapped in its own poverty that even Christ couldn’t reach it." It was made into a beautiful movie, too (also called Christ Stopped at Eboli).
