Antonio Gramsci was born in Sardinia in 1891, became the leader of
the Italian Communist Party in his early thirties, was arrested by
Mussolini's police in 1927, and remained imprisoned until shortly
before his death ten years later. The posthumous publication of his
Prison Notebooks established him as a major thinker whose influence
continues to increase. Fiori's biography enlarges upon the facts of
Gramsci's life through personal accounts, and through Gramsci's own
writings to relatives and friends. In relating Gramsci's growth as
a political leader and theorist to his private experience, it
offers acute insights into his involvement in the factory councils
movement. It examines his relationship with political opponents,
including Mussolini, and with his comrades within the Communist
Party before and during Gramsci's imprisonment. It is an approach
which seeks to explicate, as well as underscore, the substantial
achievement of one of the most important figures in western
Marxism.
