Disguised as a priest, Spina moves through the impoverished rural landscape, confronting the moral and spiritual contradictions of a society crushed under political oppression and religious conformity. Ignazio Silone writes with a quiet, deeply humane intensity, weaving together themes of faith, betrayal, sacrifice, and the search for authentic human connection against a backdrop of fear and propaganda. The novel argues that true resistance is not merely political but profoundly personal and ethical, rooted in the simple, enduring values symbolized by bread and wine — sustenance, community, and the sacred. A work of both political urgency and timeless moral weight, it stands as one of the most powerful anti-fascist novels ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887895851227,"sku":"2026200007320-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6f565a5d-74cc-4358-be93-ccdcac8fa047.png?v=1781748152","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007320-secondhand-bread-and-wine","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
