Conversations in Sicily
Vittorini was arrested and jailed by the fascists on account of this 1941 novel. After learning that his father has abandoned his mother, a son returns to his roots and is reintroduced to the land and people of his past. This reprint retains the introduction by Hemingway that appeared in the 1949 U.S. edition. That's worth the price alone.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
