In 'The Great Masquerade', Jean-François Revel analyzes the survival of the socialist utopia after the fall of the Soviet regime. The author examines how the international left has retrospectively justified socialism, avoiding a critical reflection on its errors. Revel asks whether this 'great masquerade' is another example of the divorce between ideological narcissism and historical truth, exploring the disconcerting lie behind the persistence of these illusions.
Jean-François Revel was a French philosopher, journalist, and author.

He was a member of the Académie française after June 1998. He is best known for his book Without Marx or Jesus: The New American Revolution Has Begun, published in French in 1970.
