'Fascinating and important'
New York Review of Books
'This work is more than a masterpiece, it is a treasure. Profound erudition, eloquence, formidable common sense, a brilliant refutation of Western and non-Western- "terrible simplifiers", this beautiful defense of humanism, pluralism, tolerance, this eloquent critique of manichaeisms and inhumanity (including torture) is, in my opinion, the best of Todorov's many books, the summary and summa of his work. In less than 200 pages, it is the most irrefutable defense and illustration of the values of the Enlightenment and of their immense relevance to the present condition of the world.'
Stanley Hoffmann, Harvard University
