Scurati, Antonio (699 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Now a major TV series from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Wright, starring Luca Marinelli -- streaming on MUBI. "This relentless chronicle of authoritarianism emboldened and empowered offers a painful and valuable reminder that democracy is fragile, never to be taken for granted and always in need of committed defense." --Washington Post The massive international bestseller--an epic biographical novel that chronicles the birth and rise of fascism in Italy, witnessed through the eyes of its founder, the terrifyingly charismatic figure who would become one of the most notorious dictators of the twentieth century, Benito Mussolini. It is 1919, and the Great War that has ravaged Europe is over. In Italy, in the aftermath of World War I, the people are exhausted. Tired of the political class. Tired of vague promises, inept moderates, and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that has failed ordinary citizens. While elite leaders have sat idly by, achieving nothing, one outsider--the director of a small opposition newspaper and a tireless political agitator--is electrifying the masses, promising hope for a demoralized nation hungry for change. A former socialist leader ousted by his own party, he is a drifter who knows what it is to feel lost. His voice speaks for the misfits and the outcasts; he is a protector of those who are forgotten.  He is Benito Mussolini. And soon Italy--and the world--will be forever remade.  In M: Son of the Century, Antonio Scurati tells the story of fascism from within the mind of its founder, the man known to his followers as Il Duce. Steeped in historical detail and interspersed with period documents and sources, this masterful work of political fiction explores the seductive power of nationalism and idolatry, revealing how authoritarianism took hold and a nation bent to the will of one ruthless strongman. Provocative and resonant, M is a chilling reminder that the past is never gone, and that it holds urgent lessons for us today.&nbsp.…

Se esperaba desde hace décadas.».- Roberto Saviano La obra definitiva sobre la llegada de Mussolini al poder. Doce ediciones y más de 250.000 ejemplares vendidos en Italia. «Extraordinaria.».- El País La historia humana está plagada de individuos cuyos nombres perdurarán por siempre; hay otros tan icónicos que se los conoce solo por su nombre de pila. Pero existe otra categoría, la de aquellos que ni siquiera pueden ser nombrados y para quienes basta con una letra: a ella pertenece Benito Mussolini. Esta es la biografía novelada de un hombre y, a través de él, también la de una época entera, la del surgimiento del fascismo. Pero M. El hijo del siglo es sobre todo una historia vibrante, hipnótica, con la profundidad de un ensayo y el ritmo narrativo de la mejor ficción contemporánea, sobre cómo una sociedad decidió entregarse a los delirios de grandeza de un solo hombre.

This is the fictionalized biography of a man and, through him, also that of an entire era, that of the rise of fascism. But M. The Son of the Century is above all a vibrant, hypnotic story, with the depth of an essay and the narrative rhythm of the best contemporary fiction, about how a society who decided to surrender itself to one man's delusions of greatness.…
