A talented newspaper journalist, Malatesta's biting critiques were frequently short and to the point--and written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including \"Anarchy\" and \"Our Program,\" have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatesta's most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Method of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatesta's work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the first time. Offering readers a thorough overview of the evolution of Malatesta's revolutionary thought during his half a century as an anarchist propagandist, \u003ci\u003eThe Method of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed, and the revolution in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErrico Malatesta\u003c\/b\u003e Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was an enormously influential Italian anarchist, comrade of Michael Bakunin in the First International, editor of eight newspapers, and author of numerous articles and short works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavide Turcato\u003c\/b\u003e is a computational linguist and an independent historian.
