內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約時報》蟬聯暢銷榜冠軍、《華盛頓郵報》選書AMAZON超過2000則讀者踴躍留言，佳評如潮！提摩希‧史奈德（《黑土》作者、知名歷史學家）：捨棄事實就是捨棄自由。現實世界並沒有「成人」。我們得自己收拾殘局。自20世紀提煉出的20則歷史教訓！不分階級、行業、領域，永久受用！歷史告訴我們：社會會崩毀、民主會衰頹、道德可能破滅。我們太容易誤信、盲從、崇拜，即便是平常百姓，也會有成為大屠殺兇手的一天。當魯莽粗率右目光短淺的勢力當道之時，我們該如何面對這一切？這時代理性盡失，冷靜溝通不敵動之以激情，踏實政策不敵空洞響亮的口號，和真相相比，虛假而煽情的偽新聞竟然更使人信服。當價值急速崩解，更令人顫慄的是鄉勇式正義當道，民眾激動吶喊的背後不是對自由與平等更深刻的追求，而是對強權與獨裁急速升溫的崇拜。這個世界怎麼了？當危急世代的警鐘敲響，我們又該如何自處？集權獨裁的暴政與強人，難道要再次統治世界了？我們的未來，難道注定充斥殘忍與暴力嗎？提摩希‧史奈德以回顧、洞悉歷史的重要轉捩點，凝縮20堂課，在極度簡練的篇幅中，教我們了解如何因應現況、共創未來。更重要的是從時間的積累中發掘貫通其中的關鍵，在事情未發之時，憑依過去的經驗嗅到警訊，避免重蹈覆轍。如果你了解歷史，就會知道強權之下無自由；如果你回顧過去，就會知道高牆之後無沃土；如果能冷靜思考，就會明白明星式的崇拜不過是曇花一現，當激情退去、神話不再，徒留的是蕭條的大街與消極的未來。這是狂暴、紊亂的時代，是強人當道、空話與謊言漫天飛、價值觀扭曲，人人以自我利益為最大化，枉顧公眾需求與平等自由的年代。每件事都發生得很快，消逝得更快，而在這過於匆促、虛假多過真實的一個個瞬間，如何抉擇、判斷、掌握真實的樣貌和站穩應有的立場，是我們亟待面對的迫切問題。本中文書介出自《暴政: 掌控關鍵年代的獨裁風潮, 洞悉時代之惡的20堂課》聯經出版事業股份有限公司出版A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder’s bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting America’s arc toward authoritarianism, featuring the visual storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug“Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the twentieth century, which will serve all citizens as we shape the future.”—Shepard Fairey, artist and activistTimothy Snyder’s New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow (“4: Take responsibility for the face of the world”), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent (“11: Investigate”), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal (“9: Be kind to our language”), and more.In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging—at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories—to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder’s riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance."
