Cesare Pavese

Working Wearies Cesare Pavese

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 Verrà la Morte e avrà i tuoi Occhi), together with two short essays by Pavese about his own work. Most of this material has never appeared before in English.
