The past is worth more than just sending it into oblivion. The 20th century was especially difficult.
This book is dedicated to its lessons, losses, events, and personalities. It contains essays that historian and intellectual Tony Judt wrote over a twelve-year period. These works cover a fairly wide range of issues — from French Marxists to American foreign policy, from the globalization economy to the memory of evil. And they also have a fairly wide geography — from Belgium to Israel.
The author skillfully interweaves historical facts, highlighting topics that have often remained in the shadows, under the dust of indifference or the pressure of archives. He encourages readers to deepen their understanding of history, to rethink it, in order to perceive the past and the present without distortions.
