Poet, novelist and translator of Anglophone literature (including Moby-Dick), Cesare Pavese was one of the most influential Italian voices of the mid-20th century. "The Moon and the Bonfires", published shortly before the writer's suicide in 1950, is his evocation of post-Mussolini Italy. The protagonist, an emigrant, returns to Northern Italy from America in the wake of World War II.  (ITL427, $14.00)
