商品簡介
Illiterate and poor, the daughter of a herdsman in 19th century Brazil, Anita Ribeiro was lifted from a life of obscurity to one that is the stuff of romance and adventure. She joined Garibaldi in 1839 to fight for a Brazilian republic. It was Anita who taught Garibaldi the guerrilla ways of the gauchos, and they lived as man and wife through a series of adventures and wars. Returning to Italy in 1848 to fight for a united republican Italy, as revolution swept throughout Europe, Anita and Garibaldi were tragically separated just one year later by her untimely death. This book, the first full biography of the remarkable life of Anita Garibaldi, tells the true story of a fascinating and important woman.
