RITRATTI A MEMORIA, II EDIZ. 1975 | BERTRAND RUSSELL

Portraits from Memory by Bertrand Russell (Italian 2nd edition, 1975) is a richly reflective memoir-essay collection blending autobiography, philosophy, and literary portraiture. Through evocative sketches of historical figures—from Lenin to Lady Ottoline Morrell—Russell offers deep insights into intellectual life, personal encounter, and the ideals shaping 20th‑century thought. Employing his signature clarity and wit, he examines the quirks and contradictions of these personalities, while probing his own motivations and moral evolution. This volume situates itself at the intersection of philosophical reflection and personal remembrance, affirming Russell’s role as both philosopher and cultural chronicler, and illuminating the interplay of memory, identity, and historical narrative.
