Processo e morte di Stalin
La tragedia Processo e morte di Stalin – la cui stesura risale al 1960-1961 – venne rappresentata per la prima volta a Roma il 3 aprile 1962 al teatro della Cometa, dalla Compagnia Stabile di Diego Fabbri. Due anni più tardi, nel 1964, l’opera venne tradotta in lingua russa, e nel 1969 in lingua polacca da esuli dissidenti di quelle nazioni. Il testo russo ha avuto la rara sorte di circolare nell’Unione Sovietica attraverso il samizdat (o autoeditoria clandestina), quello polacco è valso all’autore l’onorificenza di «Cavaliere di Polonia», da parte del governo democratico polacco, che in quegli anni ancora sopravviveva in esilio a Londra. Nel frattempo si era venuto sempre più affermando nella cultura italiana – fino a conquistarvi una sorta d’egemonia – l’indirizzo promarxista. Ciò ha comportato l’isolamento e l’emarginazione di quest’opera. Molto più tardi, costretti dalle rivelazioni dei capi russi, i comunisti e i progressisti italiani hanno dovuto riconoscere come veri tutti i fatti che costituiscono materia della presente opera, e li hanno pubblicamente deprecati. In ogni caso rimane il fatto che in queste pagine l’autore ha non solo individuato con decenni d’anticipo, e con straordinaria lucidità , il fallimento inevitabile del comunismo, ma ne ha anche indicate le ragioni con una chiarezza alla quale in seguito non sono pervenuti né i teorici russi, né gli studiosi occidentali.

About the author
Eugenio Corti
16Ìýbooks7ÌýfollowersEugenio Corti (21 January 1921 – 4 February 2014) was an Italian writer born in Besana in Brianza. After participating in the Italian retreat from Russia in World War II, he joined the Italian partisans. Based on these experiences, he wrote Few Returned and The Last Soldiers of the King. His seminal work, however, is The Red Horse, a 1000-page novel again based on his experiences and those of his fellow Italians during and after the Second World War. It was voted the best book of the 1980s in a public survey in Italy and has been translated into six languages, including Japanese. It has had twenty-five editions since it was first published in May 1983.
In summer 1994, a poll promoted by the newspaper Avvenire revealed that Corti was the most popular Christian writer in Italy. Corti received the international award of the Golden Medal for Merit of the Catholic Culture in 2000. In May 2005, the "Eugenio Corti" international cultural association was officially formed. The association was born from the initiative of some readers, mostly young college students and professionals, and was aimed at publicizing the writer and his works to the world of culture and to the larger public, as well as, more in general, making culture with Corti's figure as an inspiration. One of the main activities of the association is the promotion of lectures and meetings.
