| Publisher Description: In this remarkable, layered biography, Comotto sits you at the feet of a veteran militant, as content to recall dramatic exploits as to discuss art, physics, family life, or political history. From his dealings with Guy Debord and the Situationists, Giangiacomo Feltrinelli (the Italian publisher who requested that Alberola's group kidnap a Bolivian diplomat to save Che Guevara's life), or anarchists avenging Franco's despotism in Spain, we're spellbound. A protagonist since his birth in 1928, Alberola's conveys hard earned lessons. Most important of all: never countenance pessimism. |
