The monstrous act of terrorism committed on September 11, 2001 in New York made the whole world shudder. Oriana Fallaci, an Italian journalist who has lived in America for many years and is known for her independent views, was an eyewitness to the tragedy on that terrible day. Shocked by what she saw, Fallaci took up her pen, and a harsh anti-Islamic pamphlet was born - an angry, hyper-emotional, far from indisputable and very personal book, “Rage and Pride,” which caused an incredible resonance. Published in millions of copies in many countries around the world on both sides of the Atlantic, Fallaci's book causes a strong, controversial reaction everywhere. Responses to “Rage and Pride”, as a rule, are diametrically opposed: from unbridled praise and support to angry attacks and curses against the journalist.
