This is the first time that I read Gramsci and decided to go with his letter from prison to know a little bit about his persona. You can't help but be drawn in by his personality and the tenderness that he uses to write to his beloved. A tenderness that sometimes becomes patronising, as he is too well aware of it. As he is aware that prison is not being kind to his soul nor his attitude.
The first 100 pages and the last 50 were the ones that I found incredibly interesting - the first with all his hopefulness and strength. The last with a bittersweet resignation of what was about to happen.
I would have like to have had an epilogue to this collection of letters. Explaining what happened in his last days, who told him that the mother died and what happened to his marriage with Giulia.
