Vivarelli e il suo editore

A former history editor at il Mulino Publishing House, the author reconstructs the long lasting relationship that tied Vivarelli to his publisher, from 1981 to the very last days of Vivarelli's life in 2014. Drawing on correspondence and personal recollections, the author traces down the history of publication of half a dozen books (that is, almost all of his works), including the controversial memoir La fine di una stagione and the classic three volumes Storia delle origini del fascismo.
