In the eighth programme from the series "Il-Politika fil-Letteratura," Dr Mario Thomas Vassallo is joined by Dr Olvin Vella to discuss Mikiel Anton Vassalli as both an author and a politician.
Vassalli was a Maltese linguist, nationalist and writer well-versed in the ideas of the Enlightenment. Some of his political ideas led to periods of exile and ostracization. The selected texts are narrated by Ms Simone Chircop.
