The unfinished


The "FUOCO GRANDE ( in English : Great Fire) " novel, written in early 1946 in alternating chapters by Cesare Pavese and Bianca Garufi and unfinished chapter eleven, was found posthumously among the Pavese papers.

The princeps edition came out in 1959 by Einaudi, by the will of Italo Calvino.
The title chosen by Pavese was "Journey in the blood", later changed to "Great Fire" by the publisher, taking a cue from a phrase of the servant Catina, using a saying of the spoken Sicilian-Calabrian to indicate difficult situations.
Each chapter shows, alternately, the views of John and Silvia, the two main characters of a story very dark and bitter, which takes place mostly in Maratea, girl's hometown
