Klappentext A collection of novellas by the acclaimed author Cesare Pavese. In The Political Prisoner an anti-fascist is banished to a remote Italian sea resort after serving a prison sentence. The effects of imprisonment are examined by focusing on a sexual relationship without love. The second novella is a tale of corruption and maturity set in a colony of artists and models in Turin. Of Pavese's other works: 'The Political Prisoner' has its autobiographical roots in Pavese's own arrest and imprisonment in Calabria for his writings in the anti-fascist magazine 'La Cultura'. This story describes the day-to-day life of Stefano, an anti-fascist who is banished to a remote southern Italian seaside resort to await an official pardon.
