Both A Political History And A Moral Critique Of The Twentieth Century, This Is A Personal And Impassioned Book From One Of Europe'S Most Outstanding Intellectuals. Identifying Totalitarianism As The Major Innovation Of The Twentieth Century, Tzvetan Todorov Examines The Struggle Between This System And Democracy And Its Effects On Human Life And Consciousness.Totalitarianism Managed To Impose Itself Because, More Than Any Other Political System, It Played On People'S Need For The Absolute: It Fed Their Hope To Endow Life With Meaning By Taking Part In The Construction Of A Paradise On Earth. As A Result, Millions Of People Lost Their Lives In The Name Of A Higher Good. While Democracy Eventually Won The Struggle Against Totalitarianism In Much Of The World, Democracy Itself Is Not Immune To The Pitfall Of Dogoodery: Moral Correctness At Home And Atomic Or 'Humanitarian' Bombs Abroad.Todorov Explores The History Of The Past Century Not Only By Analyzing Its Spectacular Political Conflicts But Also By Offering Moving Profiles Of Several Individuals Who, At Great Personal Cost, Resisted The Strictures Of The Communist And Nazi Regimes. Somemargarete Buberneumann, David Rousset, Primo Levi, And Germaine Tillionwere Deported To Concentration Camps. Othersvasily Grossman And Romain Garyfought Courageously In World War Ii. All Became Exemplary Witnesses Who Described With Great Lucidity And Humanity What They Had Endured.This Book Preserves The Memory Of The Past As We Move Into The Twentyfirst Centuryarguing Eloquently That We Must Place The Past At The Service Of A Just Future.
