For Life!, previously partially released in zine form. It has been completely rewwritten, now expanded into a new edition digest, containing additional translations of writings by Enrico Arrigoni drawn from Eresia (Heresy) and other anarchist journals of the 1920s and 1930s.
Translated from the original Italian into English by Wolfi Landstreicher and Fíona Vivienne, (and into French by Fiona) this edition gathers essays, reflections, polemics, fragments, and autobiographical writings by Arrigoni that trace his fiercely individualist outlook across exile, anti-fascist struggle, imprisonment, wandering, and daily life outside conformity. The texts collected here had never before appeared in English, and several have never previously been republished in any form since their original appearance in journals of the 1920s.
Accompanying the writings throughout the book are photographs by Jacques Henri Lartigue, whose drifting, intimate, and sharply alive images move alongside Arrigoni’s texts without illustrating them directly.
Some of the contents include:
Introduction
In His Own Words
For Life
Alone Against All
The Other Preachers of Death
Hang Your Tyrant
The Anarchist Mass
Down with Civilization
Individual Reappropriation / the Right to Idleness
This revised edition also includes a new introduction on Arrigoni’s life and historical context, discussing his connections to the broader individualist anarchist milieu and the circumstances surrounding these translations.
The translations remain Arrigoni’s cadence, obscurity, et étrangeté.
