Oriana Fallaci - A man

Description

Book in Italian

2014 Rizzoli BUR

"A man" is the novel of the life of Alekos Panagulis, who in 1968 was sentenced to death in the Greece of the colonels for the attack on Georgios Papadopulos, the soldier at the head of the regime. Segregated for five years in a prison where he underwent the most atrocious tortures, he was briefly returned to freedom, experienced exile, returned to his homeland when the dictatorship crumbled, was elected deputy in Parliament and in vain tried to demonstrate that the same men of the deposed Council continue to occupy positions of power. He lost his life in a mysterious car accident in 1976. Oriana Fallaci met Panagulis in 1973 when, pardoned by a pardon he had not asked for but which the whole world was demanding for him, he was released from prison. The two fall in love with a deep, complicit, combative love. She joins him and shares a never-paying struggle. "The rebellious poet, the solitary hero, is an individual without followers: he does not drag the masses into the streets, he does not provoke revolutions. But he prepares them. Even if he does not do anything immediate or practical, even if he expresses himself through bravado or follies, even if he is rejected and offended, he moves the waters of the pond that is silent, cracks the dams of the conformism that holds back, disturbs the power that oppresses." (Preface by Domenico Procacci)
