more Half a century after Cesare Pavese's tragic death, his plainspoken yet lyrical novels retain their richness and appeal. Included in this volume are four of his finest books. Devil in the Hills tells the story of three young men who encounter tragedy in the Italian countryside. In Among Women Only a fashion designer finds herself caught up in an eerie dance of sex and death. Pavese's masterpiece, The House in the Hills, examines the life of a schoolteacher whose brief involvement with the Resistance compels him to become a fugitive. The Beach is a bittersweet comic tale about romance, shifting allegiances, and unfounded suspicions in a seaside resort.
