This splendid biography chronicles the life of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, a complex and paradoxical figure: the son of one of Italy's wealthiest men who became a legendary publisher and revolutionary. Written by his son Carlo, the work explores his lonely childhood, his role as the founder of Feltrinelli publishing house, and his bold decision to publish Pasternak's 'Doctor Zhivago', defying the Soviet Union. The book delves into his ideological evolution during the turbulent Italy of the 1960s, his relationships with international literary figures, and his travels to Cuba. It is an intimate and well-documented portrait that uncovers unpublished archives and tells the story of a man who, according to the CIA, was the main Castro agent in Europe, until his tragic death in 1972.
