Description
THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
‘An anti-fascist history lesson disguised as a novel’ New York Times
‘Extraordinary’ TLS
‘A masterpiece’ Roberto Saviano
A startling look into the fascist mindset, a portrait of unrelenting determination, and an impeccable work of historical fiction.
M tells the story of the rise of fascism from within the mind of its founder. A gripping and masterful exposé, it explores Benito Mussolini’s rise to power and a movement that, amidst a failing democracy, came to shape the world.
‘Panoptic and polyphonic, Scurati’s book gives us the experiences of the fearful and the feared, the rhetoric of both the revolutionaries and the reactionaries … an immense mosaic’ Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman
‘An indisputable literary achievement … Italo Calvino would have loved it’ El Paìs
