Christ Stopped at EboliWe're not Christians, Christ stopped short of here, at Eboli. Exiled to a remote and barren corner of Italy for his opposition to Mussolini, Carlo Levi entered a world cut off from history and the state. It was a land hedged in by custom and sorrow, devoid of comfort or solace, where the peasants lived with an eternal patience amidst age old stillness and the presence of death. For Christ did stop at Eboli.
