New title: „The Courage of Nuance“

The long-awaited and very current book The Courage of Nuance by French journalist Jean Birnbaum translated by Dubravka Celebrini can be found in bookstores, libraries and our webshop from today.

The Courage of Nuance is an essay about the current state of the public and public debate, characterized by social networks, Manichean and hardened attitudes, and entrenched, previously unexamined opinions called truth. With it, Jean Birnbaum wants to warn of the need for a nuanced discussion, and for this purpose he mobilizes literature as a perfect tool for opposing ideologies.
By rereading the texts of Albert Camus, George Orwell, Hannah Arendt, Raymond Aron, Roland Barthes and other intellectuals who were never satisfied with opposing ideology to ideology and slogan to slogan, the author pays tribute to these famous figures. But he points out that honoring them does not mean only naming them and highlighting their achievements, but gathering strength, restoring hope and the ability to announce in the present that there is nothing more radical than nuance in the general noise of conviction.
