italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
I.B. Tauris are publishing an English translation of Aldo Agosti's
biography of Palmiro Togliatti. Professor Agosti has revised his book
to take account of the different needs and orientations of a more
general academic audience. Togliatti will be the first book in a
series, Communist Lives, which will include Dimitrov, Tito, Gramsci,
and other important communist leaders. The series editor is Dr. Matthew
Worley. Professor Nina Fishman is providing additional advice.
Matthew and Nina are keen to hear from any graduate students or post-doc
researchers who are interested in helping on the translation of
Togliatti from Italian into English. The first four chapters have been
translated but further six chapters remain to be translated. Payment
will be made by Dr. Worley, who has received a generous grant from the
Amiel-Melburn Foundation for this purpose. It is hoped that the
translation will be finished by July 2006.
If you are interested in helping with the translation, please e-mail
