Bücher von Errico Malatesta

(¿) Quando Bakunin venne in Italia, una profonda crisi travagliava il paese, e specialmente quella parte eletta del paese che partecipava alla vita politica non per basso egoismo di avventurieri ed arrivisti, ma per ragioni ideali ed amore sincero di bene generale. Il nuovo regno dei Savoia, cui aveva messo capo la lotta per l¿indipendenza d¿Italia, non rispondeva punto alle aspirazioni di coloro che prima e meglio di tutti avevano promosso e sostenuto il movimento. Per lunghi decenni schiere di generosi avevano combattuto con insuperato eroismo per liberare l¿Italia dalla tirannide dell¿Austria, del papa, dei Borboni e degli altri principotti che se ne dividevano il territorio. Era il ...

Neben dem Grundsatztext 'Die Anarchie', versammelt der Band Texte aus der über 50 Jahren dauernden Tätigkeit des 'letzten Bakunisten' (Helmut Rüdiger) und bedeutenden italienischen Anarchisten Errico Malatesta. In ihrer klaren Sprache, dabei aber nie simplifizierend, sind sie nicht nur stilistisch vorbildhaft, sondern legen zudem Zeugnis über diesen hochangesehenen Querkopf der anarchistischen Bewegung ab, der sich zu allen zentralen Themen des klassischen Anarchismus (u.a. Organisation, Gewalt, Syndikalismus, Revolution) eigenständig äußerte.

For sixty years, Errico Malatesta's involvement with international anarchism helped fuel the movement's radical approach to class and labor, and directly impacted the workers' movement in Italy. A talented newspaper journalist, Malatesta's biting critiques were frequently short and to the pointand written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including "e;Anarchy"e; and "e;Our Program,"e; have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatesta's most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences.In The Method of Freedom, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatesta's work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the first time. Offering readers a thorough overview of the evolution of Malatesta's revolutionary thought during his half a century as an anarchist propagandist, The Method of Freedom explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed, and the revolution in practice.Errico Malatesta (18531932) was an enormously popular Italian anarchist, perhaps most well-known for his strong support of direct action and the general strike. A talented newspaper journalist and editor, Malatesta spent much of his life exiled from Italy because of his political beliefs.Davide Turcato is a computational linguist and an independent historian. He is the author of Making Sense of Anarchism and the editor of Malatesta's collected works, a ten-volume project currently underway in Italy, to be released in English by AK Press.
