Carta a un niño que nunca nació

In this book, published in 1975 and dedicated to a child the author was expecting but ultimately lost, Oriana Fallaci addresses those who do not fear doubt, those who ceaselessly ask "why," and those who face the dilemma of whether to give life or deny it. This unclassifiable work—a major publishing success—transcends the purely autobiographical; starting with reflections on herself and her past, it delves into a lucid meditation on the choice surrounding motherhood. Oriana Fallaci (1929–2006) was a pioneer in both journalism and literature, achieving global renown in both fields. Fiercely independent, she has become a modern icon and an essential writer whose work remains as relevant today as it was at the time of its publication.
