Reseña del libro "Roses for Gramsci (en Inglés)"
A remarkable personal journey through the life and writings of the great Sardinian Marxist, Antonio GramsciIn June 2023, author Andy Merrifield and his partner and their daughter moved from the UK to Rome, she to take a new job, he to get his creative juices flowing again, and both to begin a new life. A short time later, he visited Gramsci's grave at the Non-Catholic Cemetery, home as well to the great Romantics, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. Soon he took a volunteer position helping to maintain the cemetery and as it turned out, to keep a watchful eye on Gramsci's tombstone, admiring the roses and notes that visitors left, talking to some of them and communing with the sentinel cat that kept watch near the gravesite. Thus began Merrifield's deep dive into Gramsci's life. The result is a stunning portrait that offers fresh insights into nearly every aspect of Gramsci's often tortured existence: a childhood scarred by severe health problems; his growing understanding of political economy; his generosity and kindness; his grasp of the culture of workers and peasants; his friendship with the economist Piero Sraffa; and his frustration trying to communicate with and be father to the son he never saw. Above all, Merrifield illuminates how Gramsci kept his humanity, suffering horribly in prison while writing a revolutionary classic, The Prison Notebooks. Personal, compassionate, moving--and illustrated with the author's photographs --Merrifield revives both the legacy and meaning of Gramsci's work and the dying art of belles lettres. Roses for Gramsci is an evocative and indelible book.
