Description:

"Divided into three parts and encompassing twenty-nine short narratives, Férias de Agosto brings together frescoes of an Italian summer charged with passions and fears, which, under the dazzling light of the sun and bonfires, extends throughout the author's life. Through them reverberates the strong core of themes dear to Cesare Pavese: the simultaneously idyllic and wild myth of the countryside, the alienation of the city, or the power of childhood memories. With evocative lyrical language and characters, as Italo Calvino wrote, "drawn from still-warm affective material; rare images, although linked in such a way to a verticality of memory that they give us chills," this is a landmark text in the work of a central author in 20th-century Italian literature.
