Cuando en 1945 fue publicado el libro Cristo si è fermato a Eboli de Carlo Levi, se generó una polémica vinculada especialmente al marxismo ortodoxo, el cual subrayaba negativamente el carácter “ahistórico” y “mítico” de esta obra. El presente artículo muestra los límites de esa crítica y busca subrayar la revalorización poética que llevó a cabo Levi del mundo campesino al entender su realismo como “creación” de la realidad. Para ello, el autor de este estudio apela al análisis de ciertos aspectos de la obra y a la experiencia vivida por el escritor durante su destierro en el sur de Italia.
