Críticas

"Based largely on the national edition of Mazzini's letters...Sarti presents a skillfully nuanced and fascinating portrait of that 'man for all seasons, ' revealing myriad details that have escaped other biographers of this complex figure, who still informs Europeanists, feminists, and decolonization movements in the 20th century.... Sarti's reading of Mazzini's contacts with workers and artisans, his belief in self-help and the power of education, and his support for free schools for workers is interesting. Competitive relationships with rival revolutionaries like Buonarroti, the stormy associations with his followers and Garibaldi, and his liaisons with Giuditta Sidoli and Susan Tancioni are expertly interwoven with lucid analysis of Mazzinian thought and action. This is a splendid biography, adorned with haunting portrait photos and a thorough bibliographical essay. Recommended for all libraries."-Choice "More clearly than any previous biographer, Sarti confronts the contradictions that lay at the heart of the man and his ideas, which ultimately explain why Mazzini's image remained more powerful in death than in life and left so many different legacies."-American Historical Review "In this well-written, balanced and lively biography, Roland Sarti shows himself sympathetic towards Mazzini....Despite disagreeing with many of Sarti's conclusions, I can only recommend this book. For the expert there is plenty of fascinating detail and novel insight, yet undergraduates or even general readers with little knowledge of the Risorgimento will thoroughly enjoy it."-Journal of Modern Italian Studies ?More clearly than any previous biographer, Sarti confronts the contradictions that lay at the heart of the man and his ideas, which ultimately explain why Mazzini's image remained more powerful in death than in life and left so many different legacies.?-American Historical Review ?In this well-written, balanced and lively biography, Roland Sarti shows himself sympathetic towards Mazzini....Despite disagreeing with many of Sarti's conclusions, I can only recommend this book.
