Recenzje

'Gaborik has a distinct and pleasant authorial voice with a knack for narrative. Her book demonstrates excellent research across a wide range of sources, with persuasive and convincing arguments that will prove crucial for scholars and students of twentieth-century European drama and history. At the same time, her descriptions tell an intriguing story as they detail scenes, depict complexities of the anti-hero's inner life, and suspensefully reveal theraw power that Mussolini appreciated in the relationship between theatre, politics, and the people.' Juliet Guzzetta, Modern Drama
