The choice of authors and cultural strategies, the ups and downs of the market, corporate transformations, relations with politics and the economy: the first comprehensive overview of book publishing in our country, divided chronologically into four parts, from unification to the close of the nineteenth century, from the early 1900s to the advent of Fascism, and from the Fascist to the post-World War Two era. "This is a synthetic work. In some cases, the picture will be drawn in rapid brushstrokes: this choice reflects the current state of research, which is rather vast and detailed for some, incomplete and extremely scarce for others. At all times, however, there was an attempt to follow a precise path, divided into the diverse periods into which this volume was subdivided, on the basis of this country's political and social history".
