Product Description
by Flavio Costantini (Illustrator), Paul Sharkey (Translator), Pino Cacucci (Author)
An explosive dramatized fiction of the life and times of Jules Bonnot, his gang (La bande Bonnot), his associates, and the individualist anarchists of the time, including the young Victor Serge. An affectionate, fast-paced, but historically accurate account of the life of the extraordinary Bonnot-worker, soldier, auto-mechanic, driver to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-a man with a long cherished dream of absolute freedom, and the first bank-robber to use a getaway car; an anarchist who felt it his duty to lash out at bourgeois society, staking his all. A tragically romantic hero, Jules Bonnot emerges from these pages as a wounded dreamer who was to deeply affect the lives of so many other unforgettable characters. Includes historical photographs, newspaper clippings, and police mugshots. Beautifully illustrated by Flavio Constantini. This new second edition of Without A Glimmer Of Remorse has been revised and edited to fix the typographical and layout issues in the first edition.
