About this product
Product Information
The Nazi concentration camps and the Soviet gulag provide the context for this acclaimed examination of the human capacity for moral life. Drawing on a striking array of documents, Tzvetan Todorov reconstructs a vivid portrait of the conduct of those who ran the camps and those who suffered their outrages. Challenging the widespread view that moral life was extinguished in the extreme circumstances of the camps, he uncovers instead a rich moral universe, composed not of grand acts of heroismbut of ordinary gestures of dignity and care, compassion and solidarity. A complex and profound study, Facing the Extreme restores a lost dimension to this anguished history, even as it offers an eloquent plea for the recognition of everyday virtues as a basis for contemporary morality.

"Graceful and gigantic...a fascinating tour through the subtlety, integrity, and brute honesty of Todorov's thought."- The New York Times Book Review "Todorov invigorates the debate over morality with rigor and grace, Aristotelian fineness, fluid prose, and his own virtues of compassion, humility, and realism."- David Greenberg , The Washington Post "In a world that continues to devalue human life, Todorov leaves us with a sense of hope that morality, with its ultimate action and caring, will not disappear."-- Eva Fogelman, The Boston Globe, Todorov invigorates the debate over morality with rigor and grace, Aristotelian fineness, fluid prose, and his own virtues of compassion, humility, and realism., "Graceful and gigantic...a fascinating tour through the subtlety, integrity, and brute honesty of Todorov's thought."-The New York Times Book Review "Todorov invigorates the debate over morality with rigor and grace, Aristotelian fineness, fluid prose, and his own virtues of compassion, humility, and realism."-David Greenberg, The Washington Post "In a world that continues to devalue human life, Todorov leaves us with a sense of hope that morality, with its ultimate action and caring, will not disappear."--Eva Fogelman, The Boston Globe, Graceful and gigantic...a fascinating tour through the subtlety, integrity, and brute honesty of Todorov's thought., "Graceful and gigantic...a fascinating tour through the subtlety, integrity, and brute honesty of Todorov's thought." -- The New York Times Book Review "Todorov invigorates the debate over morality with rigor and grace, Aristotelian fineness, fluid prose, and his own virtues of compassion, humility, and realism." -- David Greenberg, The Washington Post "In a world that continues to devalue human life, Todorov leaves us with a sense of hope that morality, with its ultimate action and caring, will not disappear." -- Eva Fogelman, The Boston Globe, In a world that continues to devalue human life, Todorov leaves us with a sense of hope that morality, with its ultimate action and caring, will not disappear.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
