«La paraula contrària» is the essay by Erri De Luca, published by Sembra Llibres in paperback (80 pages, in Catalan).
Erri De Luca faces a possible prison sentence for defending the sabotage of the high-speed train in the Susa Valley. With this plea he responds to his prosecution and vindicates freedom of expression and the link between culture and social struggle, drawing on his experiences in 1970s Italy and the influence of Orwell and Pasolini.
Original Italian: La parola contraria. Number 12 in the Sembra Llibres collection. Foreword by David Fernández; translation by Iban León Llop.
