In 8, pp. 84 + (4) con foto e illustrazioni in b/n n.t. Brossura editoriale. Testimonianza dell?attivita' di Danilo Dolci, sociologo e attivista della nonviolenza che opero' in Sicilia a Borgetto (Palermo) e si impegno' nella creazione della struttura socio assistenziale Borgo di Dio. Il 2 febbraio 1956 ha luogo a Partinico lo sciopero alla rovescia. Alla base c'e' l'idea che, se un operaio, per protestare, si astiene dal lavoro, un disoccupato puo' scioperare invece lavorando. Cosi' centinaia di disoccupati si organizzano per riattivare pacificamente una strada comunale abbandonata; ma i lavori vengono fermati dalla polizia e Dolci, con alcuni suoi collaboratori, viene arrestato. L'episodio suscita indignazione nel Paese, e provoca numerose interrogazioni parlamentari. Dolci venne successivamente scagionato, dopo un processo che ebbe enorme risalto sulla stampa: a difenderlo fu il giurista Piero Calamandrei. Ritorna anche in questa pubblicazione l'eco di un utilizzo dell'immagine fatto da Dolci nel suo primo libro del 1954 (Fare presto e bene?).

ill., br. Lungo l'arco degli anni l'attenzione e l'amore di Francesco Guccini per i briganti dell'Appennino tosco-emiliano non sono mai venuti meno e sono passati dentro le pagine dei romanzi scritti con Loriano Macchiavelli ("Lo spirito e altri briganti" e "Appennino di sangue") e più in generale nella tonalità leggendaria che informa di sé i suoi personaggi ribelli. In questo libro torna Gnicche, e insieme a lui si fanno avanti altre figure mitiche come Domenico Tiburzi detto Domenichino, Tommaso Bartolomei detto Barbanera ed Enrico Stoppa detto Righetto. Ogni brigante ha avuto la sua storia, la sua leggenda, la sua canzone. Non c'è "malfattore" (con questo appellativo venivano segnalati i briganti) che non abbia lavorato nella immaginazione popolare destando desideri di rivolta e di lotta per la libertà. Introduzione di Fausto Vitaliano.
