Abstract

This essay studies the perfect and definitive structure of the Pavesian diary to demostrate that Il mestiere di vivere offers to later generations the conclusive effect of the essential experience of Pavese: writing. The Pavesian diary revelas itself as the late and supreme work of Cesare Pavese, untill the end of his own life and the triumph of death. Thanks to his diary, Pavese becomes himself an unquestionable hero of his own most tragic and existential work.
