«Indignatevi!» is the political essay by Stéphane Hessel, published by Mondadori in paperback (66 pages, in Italian).
Stéphane Hessel, former diplomat and veteran of the French Resistance, denounces in this manifesto the injustices of the present —wars, violence, inequalities— and calls for recovering the values of justice, freedom and equality. Indignation, he argues, is the first step to awakening consciences and committing to politics and society.
The original French title, Indignez-vous !, was published in 2010; this edition features a translation by Maurizia Balmelli and belongs to the Esclamativi collection.
For those interested in political and social thought seeking a brief and assertive text on civic engagement.
Stéphane Frédéric Hessel was a French diplomat, ambassador, writer, concentration camp survivor, Resistance member and BCRA agent. Born German, he became a naturalised French citizen in 1939. He became an observer of the editing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. In 2011 he was named by Foreign Policy magazine in its list of top global thinkers. In later years his activism focused on economic inequalities, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and protection for the post–World War II social vision. His short book Time for Outrage! sold 4.5 million copies worldwide. Hessel and his book were linked and cited as an inspiration for the Spanish Indignados, the Arab Spring, the American Occupy Wall Street movement and other political movements.
