Carlo Levi, the Other, Italian South

Sažetak
Carlo Levi, an Italian Neo-realist writer, is most famous for his work Christ Stopped at Eboli (Cristo si è fermato a Eboli). He was banished to the indigent Italian South for political reasons and since then that deprived area formed part of his interest and gave rise to his research work and travelogue themes. Travelling on the margins of Italian society and history put him in a position inbetween those two worlds that can be found in the same state and a seemingly homogeneous culture and civilization. Levi researched the habits and the way of life of the "other" Italians and brought closer the tradition beyond the border and the image of the Southern land. The aim of his travelogue was to write a new history of the land that went alongside with the official Italian history but, at some time, was trapped in a prehistoric state thus giving rise to the title about Christ who never crossed the border of Eboli - the South itself.
