THE FIRST NOVEL OUT OF LIBERATED ITALY
THE PINE TREE AND THE MOLE
by
Ezm
TADDEI
Translated from the Italian by
SAMUEL PuTNAM
For the past twenty years and more Italian literature under Musso–
lini has been a lifeless thing, but now it is beginning to live once more,
and in Ezio Taddei's "The Pine Tree and the Mole" we have what is
really the first novel to come out of the new Italy.
Written by one who languished for eighteen long years in a fascist
dungeon, and dealing with the troublous days that followed World War
I and witnessed the birth of fascism, "The Pine Tree and the Mole" is
an intensely vivid tale of the tangled destinies of human lives caught in
the after-war maelstrom of social chaos and defeat. It is an unusual
novel, one that will be widely discussed.
