| Summary |
"Lotte civili" by Edmondo De Amicis is a collection of essays and writings on social and political issues, likely composed in the early 20th century. This work reflects the author's engagement with socialist ideas and his advocacy for justice and societal reform. It presents the perspectives of various characters as they grapple with themes of inequality, class struggle, and the moral responsibilities of individuals within society. The opening portion of the text serves as a preface that outlines the motivations behind De Amicis's foray into socialist thought and the political climate of the time. It introduces Alberto Bianchini, a well-educated man turned literary teacher, who encounters new radical ideas through interactions with a socialist newspaper and individuals immersed in the movement. The narrative describes Bianchini’s struggles with his artistic ambitions and his awakening to social justice, as he discovers the stark realities faced by the working class. This initial exploration sets the stage for a deeper examination of the social dynamics in Italy and the transformative journey of the characters as they confront the injustices around them.
