Intellectual Against Fascism - Selected Writings

by Piero Gobetti

~~87,45€~~ 78,71€ 10% OFF

 As we approach the centenary of the death of Italian journalist, radical liberal, and anti-fascist intellectual Piero Gobetti (1901-26), his insights into liberalism and anti-fascism resonate more than ever, particularly in light of the resurgence of reactionary politics reminiscent of fascism and ongoing debates surrounding (neo-)liberalism.An Intellectual against Fascism offers anglophone readers a new translation of over thirty articles that span Gobetti s entire journalistic career, half of which have previously been unavailable in English. The volume is thoughtfully organized to allow readers to trace the progressive development of his ideas. To enhance understanding of Gobetti s thought, this expertly curated collection includes his writings on literature, theatre, and literary criticism. It also features the complete text of La Rivoluzione Liberale (1924), his magnum opus, which has not been available in its entirety before. An extensive critical apparatus accompanies the collection, including a preface, an introduction, and concise introductions and notes for each article.

Life

by Vittorio Alfieri

~~78,18€~~ 70,36€ 10% OFF

 The theatrical tragedies of Vittorio Alfieri (1749-1803), Italy's greatest dramatist of the late 1700s, feature themes and elegant verse that perfectly reflect his neoclassical age. Life presents Alfieri's autobiography, detailing a journey that was anything but measured and orderly, giving the modern reader an entertaining and insightful view of privileged life and travel in pre-Napoleonic Europe and the gradual (and late) development of a cultured, literary mind. Alfieri leads us through childhood humiliations in Torino, introductions to popes and sovereigns, love affairs scandalous and noble, Baltic ice storms, treks across Spain, a late-night duel in London, a narrow escape from revolutionary Paris, venereal inconveniences, and the difficulty of breaking into the literary establishment. A stubborn and proud man, Alfieri includes in his memoirs enough self-awareness and self-deprecation to make his character engaging and often sympathetic.This new translation, the first in seventy years, includes footnotes describing places, people, and events largely unfamiliar to twenty-first-century readers plus Alfieri s own appendices letters, poems, early drafts of scenes translated into English for the first time.
