In From A to X: A Story in Letters, internationally-acclaimed author John Berger conjures an epistolary romance between an insurgent named Xavier and his beloved A'ida. With every letter, a larger sense of their world emerges: Xavier's revolutionary activities, for which he was imprisoned, are revealed as A’ida narrates the ongoing disappearance of neighbors and friends from the village, and the military planes flying overhead. A story of love defying oppression, From A to X is a deeply moving meditation on resistance, and the strength of the human spirit.
