Wikipedia
The Moon and the Bonfires (Italian: La luna e i falò) is a 1950 novel by the Italian writer Cesare Pavese. It is considered Pavese's best novel.
The first English language translation was undertaken by Louise Sinclair in 1952, as The Moon and the Bonfire. A more recent translation by R. W. Flint, published in 2002, uses the arguably more correct translation of The Moon and the Bonfires, taking account of the use of the plural i falò in the original Italian title.
The novel is set in the immediate Aftermath of World War II at the small town of Santo Stefano Belbo. A local man who made his fortune in the United States returns after an absence of 25 years. While the smells and sights of his home town seem familiar to him, he soon realizes that the town was deeply changed by the war.
