从纽时网站上的The Argument节目 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opinion/the-argument-authoritarianism-anne-applebaum.html?action=click&module=Briefings&pgtype=Homepage 看到这本书: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/621076/twilight-of-democracy-by-anne-applebaum/ 大概因为这本书太新,图书馆还没有。那就看看书评?嗯,到这里: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50155421-twilight-of-democracy?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=30ReCCbh83&rank=1 有几篇书评写得很不错。比如这段: democracies are neither guaranteed to survive nor self-sustaining; that democracies are by their nature messy, stress-filled cacophonies of competing voices, viewpoints, and needs; and -- perhaps most critically in today's world -- that there are large numbers of people for whom "the appeal of authoritarianism is eternal" because "they are bothered by complexity. They dislike divisiveness. They prefer unity. A sudden onslaught of diversity -- diversity of opinions, diversity of experiences -- makes them angry." |
