Icon of the revolution, Rosa Luxemburg always defended—behind bars and on the barricades—the cause of the weakest. In her letters to her companions and friends, she claimed a fierce freedom and devoted herself to art with a dazzling joy. A militant of truth, with an extreme sensitivity to nature, she knew how to capture all the moments of happiness and the splendor of the world. A woman who chose truth and fought passionately for it to be synonymous with beauty.
A major figure of revolutionary socialism in the 20th century, Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) never tired of fighting inequality and injustice. A Marxist activist and theoretician, the great Polish politician was committed to educating the masses through her work as a journalist and teacher. Although she was silenced—she was imprisoned and died murdered—her voice remains, powerful and untamed.
Letters selected and presented by Eusebio Trabucchi.
