Cover illustration: Citta by Anna Luisa Brass, courtesy of the artist. The drawing depicts the continuing attempts by Marxists to build socialism, a task symbolized in the illustration of a city steered into its historical place by wheelbarrow. Why at times this seems like a Sisyphean task is hinted at in the drawings that precede each of the three sections in the book.
