In the book that Pavese had more expensive, the gods and heroes of ancient Greece are discussing the relationship between man and nature, character inescapable destiny and necessity of the pain.
In this 'long work experience, and published in 1947, Pavese believed that his most important and lasting, the profound interest in the myth, its symbols, for its anthropological dimensions and psychoanalysis, that the writer has always grown, is called upon to illuminate the dilemmas that are at the same time private, existential and collective. It was the same Pavese dictate the presentation of the book. It reads: "Cesare Pavese, that many people insist on seeing a stubborn realist storyteller, specializing in American-Piedmont countryside and suburbs, we discovered in these dialogues a new aspect of his temperament ... Pavese he remembered when he was at school and what they read. He stopped for a moment believe that his totems and taboos, his wild, the spirits of vegetation, ritual murder, the sphere of myth and the cult of the dead were useless oddities and wanted to try them in the secret of something that everyone remembers, everyone admires a bit 'rent, and we yawn a smile. " Pavese noted in his diary again: "The myth is a language, a means of expression - something that is not arbitrary but belongs to a pool of symbols - as in all languages \u200b\u200b- meanings of a particular substance, that nothing else could make. When we report a proper name, a gesture, a mythical miracle, say, half line, in a few syllables, something concise and comprehensive, a bone of reality that gives life and nourishes the whole body. "
