Born Free and Stay Free!

No one should ever forget it.

However, bad education and bad habits can sometimes make us lose this legitimate awareness and throw us into a prolonged oblivion, from which it is often difficult to recover.

The right cure for this serious disease of the soul can and must be Education, understood as good manners; books and knowledge, in fact, more than anything else, can instill in men the feeling of recognizing themselves.

This short essay by Étienne de La Boétie reminds us that Freedom and Free Will are treasures of inestimable value; goods so precious that, once lost, they are capable of stripping man of his very humanity.

Reworking and adaptation by Fabrizio Odetto from the first Italian version edited by Pietro Fanfani of: “Il contr’uno o della servitù volontaria”; an epochal essay on tyranny and the servitude of peoples, written around the middle of the 16th century by the young French philosopher, Étienne de La Boétie.

AUDIOBOOK

Attached to this edition you will also find a Qr code that links to the Audiobook: it is the free interpretation of Fanfani's writing which does not faithfully correspond to the original translation but rather constitutes a remixed version. The text has been fragmented, deconstructed and then reassembled in a different chronological sequence, according to Odetto's sensitivity and his personal perception as a contemporary man.

The essence of this mosaic gives the original composition a dynamic reflection of modernity, which renews and multiplies in the present time that ancient revolutionary yearning.

Born Free, Stay Free!

Nobody should ever forget this.

However, bad education and bad habits can sometimes lead us to lose our awareness and throw us into a prolonged oblivion, from which it is often hard to recover.

The right cure for this severe sickness of the soul has to be education, in the sense of decency; indeed, more than anything else, books and knowledge enable men to recognise their true selves.

This short essay by Étienne de La Boétie reminds us that Freedom and Free Will are priceless treasures; so precious that, once lost, they are capable of stripping man of his humanity.
