«Sobre el olvidado siglo XX» is the historical essay by Tony Judt, published by Taurus in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
Tony Judt argues that we have entered an «age of forgetting»: we have lost contact with the recent past and with three generations of political debate and social activism. In these essays he recovers milestones of the twentieth century, from the Holocaust to the role of the state, and champions history against myth and denial.
Work originally published in English as «Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century». It belongs to the Taurus Pensamiento collection.
Aimed at readers interested in contemporary history, political thought, and the role of intellectuals in the twentieth century.
