The Tailor of Ulm: A History of Communism Hardback - 2011

by Lucio Magri


From the publisher

Lucio Magri joined the Italian Communist Party in the mid 1950s. In 1969, he was expelled from the PCI along with the group of dissidents who had founded the journal il manifesto. Active in the Independent Left and the peace movement over the next two decades, Magri became one of the leaders of Rifondazione Comunista in 1991 and the editor of la Rivista del manifesto.

A translator from Romanian, Spanish, German, French, and Italian, Patrick Camiller has translated many works, including Dumitru Tsepeneag’s Vain Art of the Fugue, The Necessary Marriage, and Hotel Europa.

Media reviews

“How should the Left think about the Communist experience today? A founding theorist of Il manifesto reflects on the need for critical examination of the past-and the lessons to be drawn for the future from the Italian Communist Party’s trajectory.”—New Left Review

“The decline and fall [of Italian Communism] is the subject of Magri’s extremely shrewd and despondent book ... the final cry of someone whose life belongs to a world that has gone for ever.”—Eric Hobsbawm, London Review of Books

“This beautifully written and meticulously researched volume should be of interest to scholars of communism, the European Left, Italy, and the Cold War. Recommended.”—Choice (Current Reviews for Academic Libraries)
