When Things Change Essays 1995-2010
Tony Judt, known to Turkish readers with his works titled Chalet of Memories, When Evil is on the Prowl, After the War and Thoughts on the Twentieth Century, is one of the greatest historians of the post-World War II period. This compilation of essays, which gives a complete overview of the career of Judt, who passed away in 2015, was written by his wife, Jennifer Homans, who is also a historian.
The range of topics in the collected essays ranges from the willful blindness of French collective memory to what happened to the country's Jews in World War II to the formidable moral challenges posed to Israel by the so-called Palestinian problem. The value of Judt's work is its brutal honesty, intellectual extraordinaryness, and ethical clarity.
With this range of topics, When Things Change reveals the power of a great historian to make his reader establish a deep connection between the past and present state of the world and the state it should take in the future.
