[Giussani, Luigi]. Tracce di esperienza e appunti di metodo cristiano. Richieste, 5. Milano: Jaca Book, 1972.

A volume of miscellaneous writings with reprints of three texts that marked the beginnings of the Communion and Liberation movement, at that time called Gioventù Studentesca.

The writings are preceded by a Preface (pp. 5-6) explaining the reasons for republishing the texts, dictated both by the value of recovering the original insights and by the fact that it had become impossible to procure the original editions.

“Riflessioni sopra un’esperienza” (pp. 7-76) is the text of the booklet G.S. Riflessioni sopra un’esperienza published in Milan in 1963 (pro manuscripto published by Gioventù Studentesca. The first, shorter, edition dates from 1959).

“Tracce d’esperienza cristiana” (pp. 77-140) is an unabridged reissue of the small volume of the same name published in Milan in 1960 (by Presidenza Diocesana of GIAC and Gioventù Studentesca).

“Appunti di metodo cristiano” (pp. 141-254) is a reissue of the text of the same name published in Milan in 1964 (pro manuscripto published by Gioventù Studentesca).
