Carlo Levi was an Italian writer, painter, and doctor. Born in Turin in 1902, he studied medicine and later became involved in the anti-fascist movement. Levi was arrested and exiled to a remote village in southern Italy, where he wrote his most famous work, "Christ Stopped at Eboli." This book, published in 1945, provides a powerful portrayal of the poverty and isolation of the region. Levi's other notable works include "Fear of Freedom" and "The Watch."
