Through the story of Pietro Spina, who returns from fifteen years of exile to organize the peasants of his native Abruzzi into a revolutionary movement, this courageous work bears witness to the truth about any totalitarian regime—a warning as relevant today as it was in Mussolini’s Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSurprisingly tender and rich in humor, this twentieth-century masterpiece brings to life priests and peasants, students and revolutionaries, simple girls and desperate women in a vivid drama of one man’s struggle for goodness in a world on the brink of war. Ranked with Orwell and Camus among writers who insisted upon linking the hope for social change with the values of political liberty, Silone is one of the major voices of our time, and Bread and Wine is his greatest novel. As Irving Howe notes in his Introduction, “Bread and Wine will speak to anyone, of whatever age, who tries sincerely to reflect upon man’s fate in our century.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by Eric Mosbacher, with an Introduction by Irving Howe and an Afterword by Barry Menikoff\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451529787\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.6 x 4.2 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50209709916464,"sku":"Trans_9780451529787","price":525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81A4ucMpAlL.jpg?v=1760169803","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/bread-and-wine-signet-classics","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
