Summary

Octavio Alberola has spent over eighty years thinking, living, and formulating his life from an anarchist perspective. In this remarkable, layered biography, Agustin Comotto sits you at the feet of a veteran militant, as content to recall dramatic exploits as to discuss art, physics, family life, or political history. Born in 1928 and active in social struggles since he was a teenager, Alberola conveys hard-earned lessons. Most important of all: never countenance pessimism.
