In 'Thinking the Twentieth Century', Tony Judt, in conversation with Timothy Snyder, offers an impeccable journey through the intellectual history of the last century. This posthumous book is at once a work of history, a biography, and a treatise on ethics, exploring modern political ideas in the West and Judt's intellectual biography, from his birth in London after World War II to his reflection on the need for historical perspective and moral considerations in the transformation of society. A lucid and profound analysis of the 20th century that invites reflection on the future.
