Author: HAVEL, VACLAV
Václav Havel’s remarkable and rousing essay on the tyranny of apathy, with a new introduction by Timothy Snyder
Cowed by life under Communist Party rule, a greengrocer hangs a placard in their shop window: Workers of the world, unite!
- Is it a sign of the grocer’s unerring ideology?
- Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves?
Written in 1978, Václav Havel’s meditation on political dissent—the rituals of its suppression, and the sparks that re-ignite it—would prove the guiding manifesto for uniting Solidarity movements across the Soviet Union.
A portrait of activism in the face of falsehood and intimidation, The Power of the Powerless remains a rousing call against the allure of apathy.
"Havel’s diagnosis of political pathologies has a special resonance in the age of Trump." — Pankaj Mishra
