Christmas reading list

[Sterling Clover]

On the Italian tip, as I said I could use some recommendations too.  
Italian Anarchism, 1864-1892 by Nunzio Pernicone seems a good  
scholarly start, but it looks rather hard to come by. There's some  
good material I read in Drake's interesting but very mixed-up  
Apostles and Agitators, especially early on. Enrico Arrigoni's  
"Freedom, My Dream" looks really interesting -- Peter L. Wilson is  
quite effusive about it (http://www.anarchist-studies.org/article/ 
articleview/46/1/7/). Also -- a rough translation of a biography of  
Malatesta (it appears there are surprisingly few) http://ludd.net/ 
malatesta/.
