Published in French in 1968, Le Camarade presents one of Pavese’s most overtly political novels: a coming-of-age story as much as a political novel, it follows Pablo, a young man still adrift, half-idle, who, through romantic encounters and travels, discovers work, love, clandestine political engagement and prison, in the heart of Turin under fascism.
