indignation you! Stéphane HESSEL
Some pages of contemporary humanism: salutary.
The success of this edition certainly unexpected year-end. At least 200,000 copies already sold and, seeing the little media buzz that starts, this could go higher. And yet here, no pre-pubescent sorcerer, no stranger to end displays or media-cultural figures. Just a reminder, a clear and simple message: you indignant.
Obviously, this cry is not run by anyone. Stéphane Hessel is a prominent figure: strong during the war, a survivor of the camps, one of the drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, former diplomat, a tireless activist, ... A man of 93 years' s address the younger by reminding them first principles from the Resistance who, after the war, were to lead humanity towards better days. Principles and values that are now missing. It gives an overview lucid and clear of the new millennium: the role of the state, ecology, economy, terrorism, wars, ... No need to look far to find reasons to be indignant.
Without falling into moralizing, Stéphane HESSEL reminds us that the world is ours and it is hoped, allow more of our policies and dare to express his indignation. Through Hegel and Sartre, he returns to the big end of the century utopias precedent by turning resolutely towards the future.
Twenty pages of contemporary humanism sobering and, hopefully, will drive more resigned in indignation.
PS
- Small precision literary author is the son of Franz Hessel, a great friend of the writer Pierre-Henri Roché, who made his the Jules Jules and Jim .
- Notice to colleagues as a perfect test to be given to teenagers to read.
