Tzvetan Todorov is Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris and the author of many books, most recently Imperfect Garden: The Legacy of Humanism and The Fragility of Goodness.
'A very rich book, full of interesting - and often highly
controversial - conversation as well as moving portraits of
striking figures of the century that has just passed. It is
addressed to a general public very much engaged in discussing what
the twentieth century was all about and where we are going from
here.'
*Charles Taylor*
'Almost alone among contemporary critics, Tzvetan Todorov has
chosen to apply his prodigious talents to the literature of
twentieth-century totalitarianism. His unique gift is his ability
to elucidatethe memoirs and writings of some of the century's
greatest survivors, not merely discovering their literary
qualities, but also finding in their works moral and political
lessons, relevant to us all.'
*Anne Applebaum*
