This two-volume edition of Antonio Gramsci's personal and vivid prison letters reveals a political thinker exploring the nature of imprisonment, along with a remarkable variety of other questions in politics, sociology, history, philosophy, folklore and literature.
Gramsci's letters deal with the oppressive, emotionally tumultuous life he led in prison. Letters to his mother candidly explain the political and moral reasons for his imprisonment. Letters to his wife and sister-in-law clarify Gramsci's feelings as a husband, father, friend and comrade. Letters to Piero Sraffa in 1932 detail his views on the philosophy of Bendetto Croce. A poignant series of letters discusses his philosophy of education, as applied to his nieces and nephews in Sardinia and to his two sons away at school in Moscow. |
