In the tradition of his earlier novels on political dissent, Ignazio Silone's novella "The Fox and the Camellias" deals with the Socialist-Fascist conflict among Italians in the post-World War II era. Daniele, a farmer in the Ticino region of Switzerland, is a Socialist who engages in clandestine operations against the Fascists. The story focuses on the perennial struggle of the farmers to trap foxes who steal their chickens and on the annual Festival of the Camellias. The fox and the camellias become emblematic of the struggle between the Socialists and Fascists. The trapping of foxes becomes an analogy for catching men, while the Festival of the Camellias affords a means of reconciliation.
