Guglielmo Ferrero was een Italiaanse historicus en journalist wiens werk zich verdiepte in de dynamiek van macht en de neergang van beschavingen. Zijn monumentale studie over de opkomst en ondergang van Rome bood diepgaande inzichten in de maatschappelijke en politieke krachten die de geschiedenis vormgeven. Ferrero verkende ook de menselijke natuur en de uitdagingen van de moderne tijd via essays en romans. Zijn denken, gevormd door zijn eigen ervaringen met politieke regimes, resoneert tot op de dag van vandaag.
