The review discusses Stefano Brugnolo’s recent book on Revolution and people as viewed through the literature. Revolution is not just a historical fact. Literature can appropriate it to represent a world in transition; revolution then becomes the metaphor by which the modern West has conceived itself as a project dangerously open to the future. A project that can become a nightmare or a dream of a bright future.
Keywords: Revolution, literature, politics, Italy and Europe
