Description:
A founding leader of the Italian Communist Party and member of the Italian Parliament, Antonio Gramsci is generally considered the most original political thinker in the tradition of Western Marxism. This, the only complete and authoritative edition of Gramsci's prison letters, provides a penetrating look into his intellectual and spiritual life during his ordeal as a political prisoner in Fascist Italy from 1926-1937. Written to family and friends-especially to his wife, Giulia Schucht and his sister-in-law, Tania-these strikingly vivid letters illuminate Gramsci's ideas on politics, philosophy, history, literature, folklore, and education. They reveal as well the life experiences that contributed to the formation of these ideas.
