PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Paul Ginsborg taught at Cambridge before becoming professor of contemporary European history at the University of Florence. He has become vigorously involved in Italian civic affairs, especially in reaction to Silvio Berlusconi, and his critical biography of Berlusconi reached the top of the Italian non-fiction bestseller charts. He is also the author of A History of Contemporary Italy and Italy and its Discontents.
"""Succinct and lucid... Ginsborg is best known for his authoritative surveys of postwar Italy... In recent years Mr. Ginsborg has been a protagonist in the movement to strengthen Italian civil society and reconfigure the Italian left to meet the challenge of defeating Mr. Berlusconi."" The New York Times, review of Berlusconi; ""Ginsborg is never judgemental, though he is devastatingly thorough and occasionally mischievously witty."" Times Literary Supplement"""
