Berger, John
How to Live with Stones
Antonio Gramsci is arguably the least dogmatic of our century's thinkers about revolution. Gramsci's special patience came from a sense of practice, which will never end. He saw close-up, and sometimes directed, the political struggles of his time, but he never forgot the background of an unfolding drama whose span covers incalculable ages. Gramsci went to school, from the age of 6 until 12, in the small town of Ghilarza in central Sardinia. When Gramsci was four, he fell to the floor as he was being carried, and this accident led to a spinal malformation, which permanently undermined his health. He did not leave Sardinia until he was 20. In the hinterland around Ghilarza, as in many parts of the island, the thing one feels most strongly is the presence of stones. The island probably gave Gramsci or inspired in him his special sense of time.
