ARENDT Hannah - The Roots of Totalitarianism (2-volume set) / SECOND BACKGROUND

Hannah Arendt's book is one of the most outstanding works of the 20th century, and the author's analyses and reflections remain remarkably relevant today. As Daniel Grinberg writes in the introduction to the Polish edition, the concept of totalitarianism "includes as much the Soviet Union under Stalin as Hitler's state. The origins of the new style of government, shocking observers with its equally effective as ruthless liquidation of civil society and all forms of individual autonomy vis-à-vis the state, are found in the condition of modern man."

First Polish edition - "underground".
