" Dear Joseph, thank you so much for wanting to share with me the open letter to the editor protesting this latest usurpation of freedom in Italy. Of course they are on your side with all my heart in this initiative. I note with great concern that ongoing dismantling, brick by brick, the democratic credentials of the government, while the rest of the population remains seraphically to watch. I hope that your letter makes loud sound an alarm and wake up the slumbering nation first it is too late. I put all my hope in the love of the Italians for books and for those who publish them. With all my affection, Zigmunt Bauman . "
