Description
Oriana Fallaci never wrote to please. She wrote to awaken.
In The courage we need, Published by La Esfera de los Libros, this book by the legendary Italian journalist casts her fierce and uncompromising gaze upon the contemporary world. With her unmistakable style—passionate, direct, and profoundly free—Fallaci reflects on social cowardice, political manipulation, the loss of values, and the urgent need to reclaim an attitude of personal resistance.
This book is a manifesto on courage: the courage to think for oneself, to defend the truth even when it's uncomfortable, to not give in to the pressure of the herd. Fallaci writes with fire, with irony, with lucid rage… and with an honesty that today seems almost revolutionary.
