A daring critique of communism and how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain, Camus' essay examines the revolutions in France and Russia, and argues that since they were both guilty of producing tyranny and corruption, hope for the future lies only in revolt without revolution. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

En este libro complejo, ambicioso y desmitificador, escrito entre los huracanes de la historia, Juan María Alponte descubre con lucidez y precisión los vaivenes del pensamiento en un siglo que él llama totalitario. La biografia se incrusta, a veces con dolor, en el gran holocausto fisico e ideologico; las ideas resurgen despues de la falsa muerte de las ideologias. Los personajes se convierten en heroes, victimas, mitos vivientes y murientes. Hijos, nietos, bisnietos, compañeros de viaje y admirables caminantes de los caminos del despertar de la conciencia, todos ellos, de una manera equivalente o distinta, nos revelan la miseria de la palabra y la agonia de la violencia inutil madrastra y no madre de la historia con sus fantasmas arrogantes y pateticos, a la vez, de la depresion y la sumision.
