Köp båda 2 för 578 krDaniel Heller-Roazen has dropped an intellectual explosive whose dangerousness we only notice once we have read the book through to the end...Even if one doesn't follow Heller-Roazen's political conclusions: This is book is as wise as it is learned. In a country that does not think about the figure of the pirate much because of its focus on the land, it can clarify a great deal. -Herfried Munkler, Die Zeit Brimming with learning and yet delightful to read, this brief book offers an enlightening and truly original reflection, at the crossroads of history, law and philosophy, on the confusions that threaten us since September 11th. -Le Figaro Brilliant, well-researched, and politically acute. -Il Manifesto Combining the political, legal, philosophical, geographical, and historical aspects of his subject, Heller-Roazen leads us from antiquity to Afghanistan with clarity. While America's present-day struggles are not his main concern, the long-view positions he takes will certainly be of interest to readers who are asking more-crucial-than-ever questions. -Rain Taxi Review of Books
