Pino Cacucci

    Pino Cacucci's work highlights historical figures who were not victors, those submerged and hidden by official history. He emphasizes that history is written by the victors, and his protagonists often lose everything but their dignity. Cacucci's prose delves into the profound consequences of their actions, seeking the quiet dignity in their struggles. Beyond his own fiction and essays, he is also a significant translator.

      Exploring the life of Jules Bonnot and his gang, this dramatized fiction captures the essence of individualist anarchism in early 20th-century France. Bonnot, a multifaceted character—worker, soldier, and mechanic—embodies the struggle for freedom against bourgeois society. His legacy as the first bank robber to employ a getaway car highlights his revolutionary spirit. Richly illustrated with historical photographs and newspaper clippings, this revised edition offers a fast-paced, affectionate portrayal of a tragic hero who influenced many remarkable figures.
