First published in Italian in 1968, The World Saved by Kids was written in the aftermath of deep personal change and in the context of what Elsa Morante called the great youth movement exploding against the funereal machinations of the organized contemporary world. Morante believed that it was only the youth who could truly hear her revolutionary call. With the fiftieth anniversary of the tumultuous events of 1968 approaching, there couldnt be a more timely moment for this first English translation of Morantes work to appear. Greeted by Antonio Porta as one of the most important books of its decade, The World Saved by Kids showcases Morantes.
