Book Description
"There is only one pleasure, that of being alive. All the rest is misery," wrote Cesare Pavese, whose short, intense life spanned the ordeals of fascism and World War II to witness the beginnings of Italy's postwar prosperity. Searchingly alert to nuances of speech, feeling, and atmosphere, and remarkably varied, his novels offer a panoramic vision, at once sensual and finely considered, of a time of tumultuous change. This volume presents readers with Pavese's major works. The Beach is a wry summertime comedy of sexual and romantic misunderstandings, while The House on the Hill is an extraordinary novel of war in which a teacher flees through a countryside that is both beautiful and convulsed with terror. Among Women Only tells of a fashion designer who enters the affluent world she has always dreamed of, only to find herself caught up in an eerie dance of destruction, and The Devil in the Hills is an engaging road novel about three young men roaming the hills in high summer who stumble on mysteries of love and death.

Book Description
A landmark translation of passionate, fiercely intelligent poetry about coming of age by one of the most influential Italian writers of the 20th Century. Cesare Pavese’s 1936 collection of poems, Lavorare stanca, is increasingly regarded as one of the most astonishing and powerful books of twentieth-century poetry. William Arrowsmith’s translations, accompanied here by the original Italian lyrics, capture the spirit and complex vitality of Pavese’s voice. This edition also contains a thorough introduction to Pavese’s work, notes to individual poems, and two critical essays that Pavese wrote about Lavorare stanca, the book by which he hoped to be remembered. “Lavorare stanca,” Pavese once declared, “is a book that might have saved a generation.”

Book Description
A retranslation of Lavorare Stanca and the entire poetic work of Cesare Pavese, because the existing translations just miss the point with this gigantic figure of Italian poetry. This book is based on the ninth volume from the series Nuova Universale Einaudi, titled Cesare Pavese - Poesie, and published in 1970 by Einaudi. That book gathered the final version of Lavorare Stanca plus two other groups of poems (La Terra e la Morte and Verr� la Morte e avr� i tuoi Occhi), together with two short essays by Pavese about his own work. Most of this material has never appeared before in English.
