«Lettera a un bambino mai nato» is the monologue by Oriana Fallaci, published by Superpocket in 1998, in paperback (101 pages, in Italian).
An anonymous, solitary working woman is expecting a child and considers motherhood a personal and responsible choice, not a duty. Her monologue asks whether the desire to have the child is enough to impose life upon him, in a world where survival implies violence, freedom seems a dream, and love has no clear meaning.
Work originally published in 1975; the Superpocket edition dates from 1998. The cover subtitle is «Un libro che ha appassionato e commosso il mondo».
Will appeal to readers of Italian fiction and to those seeking a reflection on motherhood and the female condition.
