This copy has been signed and dedicated by Margaret Crosland to the title page, "To Jacinta and Rafael Nadal, whose hospitality was so much warmer than the spring day and the silent railway stations, Margaret Crosland, 24.4.72".

"Cesare Pavese committed suicide in 1950, at the height of his literary career. Famous as a novelist, he will also be remembered for his sympathetic poetry, which evokes traditional, timeless Italian life and expresses profound disquiet at the encroachment of soulless urbanization. This collection illustrates his deepening preoccupation with man's isolation and includes two of his most important essays on poetry."

Condition
