The Captive Mind [antikvár]

Gerince megtört, deformált. Kötése két részre vált. Borítói kissé kopottasak, repedezettek. Címlapján tulajdonosi bélyegzőnyomattal.
The Captive Mind is a 1953 work of non-fiction by Polish writer, poet, academic and Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz. It was first published in English translation by Secker and Warburg in 1953. The work was written soon after the author's defection from Stalinist Poland in 1951. While writing The Captive Mind Milosz drew upon his experiences as an illegal author during the Nazi Occupation and of being a member of the ruling class of the postwar People's Republic of Poland. The book attempts to explain the allure of Stalinism to intellectuals, the thought processes of those who believe in it, and the existence of both dissent and collaboration within the post-war Soviet Bloc. Miłosz describes the book as having been written "under great inner conflict".
