Reissue of an incisive exploration of the many faces of modern nationalism by the esteemed author of On Consolation ___________________ 'An immensely impressive meditation on the post-Cold War period... powerful and subtle' Library Journal 'Ignatieff is a reporter and thinker, and both his reportage and reflections are useful and often illuminating' LA Times 'Vivid and readable... [It] provides unforgettable impressions of societies that are going in the wrong direction on the highway to brotherhood and unity' Washington Post ___________________ In 1993 Michael Ignatieff set out on a journey to the former Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Germany, Quebec, Kurdistan and Northern Ireland in order to explore the many faces of modern nationalism. Why, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War, were so many nation states disintegrating into ethnic conflict? What did nationalism promise, that so many were willing to shed blood in the name of an idea of belonging? In a stimulating mix of interviews, history and evocative reportage, Ignatieff provides a searching analysis of the brutal conflicts and powerful fantasies produced by ethnic nationalism, and questions the possibility of a nationalism based on shared civic values. Reissued with a new preface, Blood & Belonging is a nuanced, fascinating account of one of our era's defining political issues.

Isaiah Berlin / Michael Ignatieff. - [miejsce nieznane] : Pushkin Press : Legimi, 2023.

Autor

Ignatieff Michael.

Forma i typ

E-booki

Revised and updated reissue of an enthralling, intimate biography of Isaiah Berlin, major intellectual figure and remarkable witness to the crises of the twentieth century "Reading Ignatieff's Isaiah Berlin, you feel you are understanding not only Isaiah Berlin, but the history... I do not see how there could be a more insightful, more erudite, biography of this remarkable man" The Times Literary Supplement "A work of literature and an eloquent portrait... Though Berlin will be the subject of many future studies, one cannot imagine anyone feeling the need to improve on this biography" Observer "Enthralling... An affectionate and admiring, but none the less independently-minded portrait... A serious book, but also a vivid, lively and uplifting one" Evening Standard Isaiah Berlin was one of the great public intellectuals of his time. A magnetic speaker and beacon of liberal philosophy, he gained first-hand experience of some of the pivotal events of the twentieth century and crossed paths with luminaries from Virginia Woolf to Sigmund Freud. Declining to write an autobiography, Berlin instead agreed to give extensive interviews to acclaimed writer Michael Ignatieff in the final decade of his life. The result is a magisterial biography that penetrates deeply into Berlin's life and thought while capturing his vivid style of conversation. Reissued in this updated edition, it traces Berlin's journey to become one of his era's most vigorous defenders of liberty and individuality in the face of tyranny and dogma.

Sangre y pertenencia / Michael Ignatieff. - [miejsce nieznane] : EL HOMBRE DEL TR3S : Legimi, 2016.

Autor

Ignatieff Michael.

Forma i typ

E-booki

De manera inesperada, el fin de la guerra fría trajo consigo el resurgir del nacionalismo, una ideología romántica que parecía superada. Para poder vivir de cerca este fenómeno y tratar de comprenderlo, Michael Ignatieff emprendió un viaje a seis lugares claves del nuevo nacionalismo: la antigua Yugoslavia, Alemania, Ucrania, Quebec, Kurdistán e Irlanda del Norte. El resultado es un brillante ensayo que sigue de plena actualidad, en el que Ignatieff alerta de los peligros del nacionalismo cuando este se convierte en una fuerza excluyente que antepone las raíces a los valores y cuyo objetivo es resaltar las diferencias, incluso cuando estas son mínimas."El narcisismo de la pequeña diferencia", en la cita de Freud. "Sangre y pertenencia" es una obra necesaria para entender el nacionalismo y sus distintas manifestaciones. Y es también una llamada de atención que no puede ignorarse. Hoy en día el nacionalismo sigue siendo uno de los temas de mayor relevancia política, y este es un libro imprescindible para entender su atractivo y su vigencia.

Reissue of a profound exploration of the concept of human need by the esteemed author of On Consolation ________________ 'Michael Ignatieff writes an urgent prose... he will convince people, in highly readable fashion, that the ideas he discusses really matter' Salman Rushdie, Guardian 'Beautifully written and profoundly thoughtful' New Statesman 'Elegant meditations on human need' New Republic ________________ What does a person need, not just to survive, but to flourish? In this profound, searching book, Michael Ignatieff explores the many human needs that go beyond basic sustenance: for love, for respect, for community and consolation.

Ignatieff's lucid, penetrating enquiry takes him back to great works of philosophy, literature and art, from St. Augustine to Hieronymus Bosch to Shakespeare. Reissued with a new preface, The Needs of Strangers builds to a moving meditation on the possibility of accommodating claims of difference within a politics based on common need.

Reissue of this sweeping, poignant account of generations of the author's Russian family: a story of revolution, exile and the search for roots 'A vividly fascinating account by a gifted writer who sweeps back the curtain from the past, revealing it full of color and life.' New York Times Book Review 'This beautifully written book . . . is about tenderness, courage, and a sublime life-force' Observer 'A poignant family memoir, a fitting close to Russian life before the 'red curtain of the revolution'' LA Times Poring over his grandparents' memoirs, grainy photographs of his distinguished ancestors and relating family lore passed from father to son, Michael Ignatieff begins a moving journey to come to terms with his inheritance that is bound up with the violent tumult of Russian history. With great care and complexity, Ignatieff reconstructs a vanished way of life. Beginning in the opulent court of Catherine the Great, he traces his family's rise to great influence in the imperial regime of Tsar Nicholas II before the country is swept up in revolution, civil war and exile. A profound meditation on rootlessness and belonging, The Russian Album explores both how we are formed by our pasts, but also how we must write our own stories in the present.
