Since he lost five fathers and six brothers and sisters, the young Secondino took a big emotional burden before reconstructing himself in Ignazio Silone in Spain's prison in 1923. First of all, underground party members like Trotsky and Tito, Silone will become a famous realistic novelist: in Faulkner's view George Orwell and Arthur Kester are Italy's greatest living writers. Le Period is famous. Like them, he is a moral critic who talks about the fear of fascism and communism. Later he was involved in some dark controversies in the Cold War, and even after the death of 1978, it was still a lightning rod in Italy. But his fame disappeared outside his country, and Stanislao G. Pugliese is absorbing a new biography, "Bitter Spring: Life of Ignazio Silicone" is the first person to appear in English.

For him, Silone grows up and believes in God. In 1900, Secondino Tranquili was born in a small land house, later known as Ignazio Silone, and grew up in Abruzzo in the South Italian mountains surrounded by poor Catholic farmers. "Conditions for the existence of humans there was particularly difficult," Silone says. "Where the pain was always considered the first of the laws of nature, the cross is welcomed and respected." Silone shared this pain at the age of fifteen. Brothers and sisters, one of the few among the families surviving the devastating earthquake of 1915. He took about 50,000 lives at Abruzzi of Silone, including his mother.

Spina / Sparta was initially a tough doctrinal communist. However, he was obliged to sign a document that fully supported Russian political issues. This spinner did not lead to fancy no longer about doctrine He threatened to fight with Roman party leaders and to drive him out of the party. I thought that this conflict was very beneficial.
