Letter to an unborn child - Oriana Fallaci

Description

Book in Italian

2009 Rizzoli

The book is the tragic monologue of a woman who is expecting a child, looking at motherhood not as a duty but as a personal and responsible choice. A woman whose name or face or age or address is known: the only reference given to imagine her is that she lives in our time, alone, independent and working. The monologue begins the moment she realizes she is pregnant and asks herself the anguished question: is wanting a child enough to force him into life? Will he like being born? In an attempt to get an answer, the woman explains to the child what the realities are to be endured by entering a world where survival is violence, freedom a dream, love a word with an unclear meaning. With a preface by Lucia Annunziata.
