M: Son of the Century: TV tie-in edition

”'An anti-fascist history lesson disguised as a novel” - New York Times

‘A masterful historical account, an extraordinary and stimulating book. A portrait of Benito Mussolini all the more accurate and powerful as it is factual and rigorous. An audacious, fluid, dazzling production. A brilliant story’Le Figaro -

‘An indisputable literary achievement. Scurati carefully examines history, with an experienced prose rich in literary allusions. Like Yourcenar, Gore Vidal, Sebald, Echenoz or Fences. Italo Calvino would have loved it’El Paìs -

”'Resembles a political thriller … surprisingly modern. A must read” - Die Zeit

”'The novel Italy has been waiting for. A masterpiece.” - Roberto Saviano

”'Panoptic and polyphonic, Scurati’s book gives us the experiences of the fearful and the feared, the rhetoric of both the revolutionaries and the reactionaries … a multitude of short fragments that collectively add up to an immense mosaic” - Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman
