“The old world is dying. And the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” – Antonio Gramsci (1894–1937)
A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini and fascism, Gramsci was imprisoned in 1926, where he remained until his death in 1937.
While in prison, Gramsci wrote more than 30 notebooks and 3,000 pages of history and analysis. His Prison Notebooks are considered highly original contributions to 20th-century political theory.
