I have never been calm. La Mattina A.

The name of Angelica Balabanova is unlikely to speak about something to the modern reader. Meanwhile, she was the legend of her time. Being an “orthodox Marxist”, Balabanova believed that the world could be fair - it was only necessary to help him find this justice. She defended the rights of workers, fought for the emancipation of women and hoped for the success of the socialist revolution. She was a mentor of Mussolini and Lenin's associate, she wanted to build a “best world” with them, but when she saw the channel in which the politician turned both and the other, became their implacable opponent.

This book is a history of “socialist saint ”, based on documents, memoirs of Balabanova herself and evidence of her contemporaries.
