Contrary to what suggested by the title of the collection in which it is published - "Those who walk against the wind" - Hessel do not battle cons at the time: it says what it wants to hear, he hands him the mirror in which she laughs at herself so rebellious. Hay of the world's complexity, paradoxes and nuances, contradictions that are the salt of the human condition - and incidentally of thought - all this is swept away by the flood of good feelings he pours on us mercilessly. For him, life is a western: there are nice - the undocumented, Roma, members of Attac, the Palestinians - and villains - the bankers, globalization, Hitler, you will finish. As everyone has no chance to live under the threat of fascism, everyone is invited to find his reason for outrage. Let's be honest: Hessel admits that things are now "less clear . But he invites us to constantly replay the battle of the Resistance vichysso the cons-Nazism. And given that our schools are already populated by kids who think that Gaza and Auschwitz is the same, or that Sarkozy is the descendant of Petain, we did not really need that.
Keep your free will. Good week.
