| | | | From The Publisher
Half a century after Cesare Pavese's tragic death, his plainspoken yet lyrical novels retain their richness and appeal. Included in this volume are four of his finest books. Devil in the Hills tells the story of three young men who encounter tragedy in the Italian countryside. In Among Women Only a fashion designer finds herself caught up in an eerie dance of sex and death. Pavese's masterpiece, The House in the Hills, examines the life of a schoolteacher whose brief involvement with the Resistance compels him to become a fugitive. The Beach is a bittersweet comic tale about romance, shifting allegiances, and unfounded suspicions in a seaside resort.

The major works—The Beach, The House on The Hill, Among Women Only, and Devil in the Hills—of a writer whom Italo Calvino praised for his "extraordinary depth." Strongly influenced by Melville, whom he translated, Pavese introduced an American influence into Italian literature. These deceptively simple novels betray a longing for the stability and permanence their author—a suicide in 1950-despaired of finding. "Italy's most complete man of letters"—Washington Post
| |  | | | The Word On The Street
A control of prose rhythms that makes [Pavese's] language at once absolutely lucid and completely incantatory. —Leslie Fielder
Now there can be no excuse for not reading Pavese, one of the few essential novelists of the mid—twentieth century. The new translations and the introduction by R.W. Flint are admirable. —Susan Sontag
