Memorial is the third part of the celebrated trilogy Camon called "the cycle of the lowliest," which traced one of the most important but least recognized events of modern history: the death of Italy's peasant civilization. Camon's northern Italy was primitive and poor; little more than strong religious beliefs helped sustain its people through years of poverty, hunger, and disease. With the arrival of modern life and its "civilizing" aspects, the peasant ways, and all they stood for, changed forever.

Ostensibly a satirical look at psychoanalysis and its practitioners, this novel is also a serious social critique of modern man.Camon's narrator consults a series of therapists, searching for the source of his mysterious maladies. Camon draws parallels between his narrator's experiences and the experiences of Man in a morally disintegrating Italy. From his depcitions of pompous therapists to his analysis of the intersection of church and state, Camon's wit and wisdom shine.

The Fifth Estate

The first of his three classic autobiographical novels, The Fifth Estate chronicles the passing in our own time of an ageless civilization, that of the peasant world Camon was born into. The trilogy--which also includes Life Everlasting and Memorial--has appeared in translation worldwide since its publication in the 1970s.

Together with The Fifth Estate and Memorial, Life Everlasting belongs to a sequence of fictional memoirs which brilliantly evokes peasant society in the Veneto in northeast Italy. It was into that ageless traditional society that Camon himself was born, and it is its disappearance in our own time that this trilogy relates.

Life Everlasting

Beginning in 1982 and at intervals over the next four years Ferdinando Camon traveled to Turin for a series of meetings with Primo Levi. This book is the record of their dialogues. Levi spoke of the war, of anti-Semitism, of the camps, of German guilt, of Israel's emergence, and of his own extraordinary life and work. The give-and-take of the discussion, its tone, its lucidity, its intelligence, lift it well above the level and format of the usual journalistic interview with a celebrated author.
