  • - Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
    by Timothy Snyder
    £8.99

    History does not repeat, but it does instruct. European history shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse, and people can find themselves in unimaginable circumstances. Today, we are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism in the twentieth century. This book deals with this topic.

    Ved Den Kolde Krigs afslutning vandt det liberale demokrati en total sejr – troede man. Autoritarismen er nu vendt tilbage. Først i Rusland, og gennem de seneste seks år har den bevæget sig fra Øst mod Vest. Nationalismen har sat Europa i brand, bistået af russisk propaganda og cyberkrigsførelse. Ifølge Timothy Snyder udgør truslen mod Vesten en mulighed for bedre at forstå det fundament, der holder vores politiske orden oppe. Han blotlægger den virkelige beskaffenhed af faren mod demokratiet. Ved at påpege de klare valg, vi er nødt til at træffe – mellem lighed og oligarki, individualitet og totalitet, sandhed eller usandhed – skaber Snyder en forståelse for grundlaget for vores styreform, og viser en vej, der fører fremad i en tid med uvished.

    Sort jord er en fortælling om tilintetgørelse og overlevelse; en original nyfortolkning af vor tids største tragedie: holocaust. Det er en beretning om ufattelige lidelser, men også om nogle af de enkeltpersoner som tog kampen op. Historikeren Timothy Snyder, forfatter til den anmelderroste Bloodlands, giver i Sort jord en ny forklaring på det 20. århundredes store katastrofe, og afdækker samtidig de farer, vi står over for i det 21. århundrede. Adolf Hitler havde en idé om, at udryddelsen af jøderne ville genskabe balancen på Jorden og tillade tyskerne adgang til de resurser, som han mente de desperat manglede. En sådan plan kunne kun realiseres, hvis Tyskland tilintetgjorde andre stater, og millioner af jøder blev fordrevet, undertrykt og udryddet. Sort jord afdækker ikke bare holocaust som et stykke overstået historie, men også som en advarsel mod at gentage fortidens katastrofer.

  • - 20 ting vi kan lære af det 20. århundrede
    by Timothy Snyder
    £9.49

    Den politiske orden i USA står I 2017 over for trusler, der minder om den totalitarisme, som i forskellige aftapninger prægede Europa i sidste århundrede. Der er grund til at være dybt bekymret over situationen, advarer Timothy Snyder, der er historieprofessor med speciale i Det Tredje Rige og Holocaust: ”Nutidens amerikanere er ikke klogere end europæerne, hvis demokratier gav efter for fascisme, nazisme eller kommunisme i det 20. århundrede. En af USA’s fordele er, at det måske kan lære af andres erfaringer. Netop nu vil være et godt tidspunkt at gøre det på.” I denne bog præsenterer Timothy Snyder 20 ting, vi kan lære af det 20. århundrede. Bogen tager afsæt i den liste, som han skrev umiddelbart efter præsidentvalget i USA, og som hastigt blev udbredt på de sociale medier. Dette er en vigtig bog ikke bare for amerikanere, men for os alle sammen, nu hvor populistiske og autoritære strømninger ses i både USA og i Europa.
