Antonio Gramsci
“The starting-point of critical elaboration is the consciousness of what one really is, and is 'knowing thyself' as a product of the historical processes to date, which has deposited in you an infinity of traces, without leaving an inventory.”
Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks, Volume 2: 1930-1932

Sven Lindqvist, "Exterminate All the Brutes": One Man's Odyssey into the Heart of Darkness and the Origins of European Genocide

Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller
