The Twenty-three Days in the City of Alba Book

Beppe Fenoglio was among the 2,000 Italian partisans who took the city of Alba on October 10, 1944, only to lose it to the Fascists three weeks later. Here Fenoglio creates intimate and unvarnished portraits of his fellow patriots: an ill-equipped, underfed mix of eager farm boys, trained soldiers, and broken old men. This motley group ultimately plays a crucial role in the Allied victory in World War II. After the war, they return home to nurse their psychological and physical wounds and rebuild their lives. It is written in the spare, direct prose that characterizes all of Beppe Fenoglio?s writing. ?Fenoglio invests the struggles of common men and women with dignity and grace.? ?
