Oskar Panizza was born on November 11, 1853 in Bad Kissingen (Bavaria) and died on September 28, 1921 in Munich. Doctor psychiatrist by profession, ended his days in an asylum inmate after a long journey through different European and different battles after death in defense of freedom of expression countries. Panizza's history is the story of a struggle against censorship, censorship that to this day (in 1994 the European Court of Human Rights upheld the ban on a film based on The Council of Love-the censors always have a good excuse in the chamber, and each time his). Thus, the life of Panizza's the story of a struggle against repression and is also the story of a compelling need: communication.

Incorrigible critic of human stupidity, and especially of religion, wrote among other books The immaculate conception of the popes, Diary of a dog (Nuggets, second edition 2012), The Council of Love (Nuggets, 2014) or psychosis criminal, plus short stories, essays and poems; also he encouraged the newspaper Zürcher Discussionen (Discussions Zurich). Given the circumstances of persecution of his work, he was forced to be your own editor until finally there was no a single printer who dared to expose his writings. Long ignored, again silence around Panizza comes to an end: "It is high time we also see Oskar Panizza between components that whipped ship by high waves, and where the darkest are not less resplendent. " (André Breton)
