Recenzii
[Murray's] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone. He mercilessly exposes the hypocrisy and embarrassingly blatant contradictions that run rife through the current 'woke' vogue.
Whether one agrees with him or not, Douglas Murray is one of the most important public intellectuals today.
How can you not know about The Madness of Crowds? It's actually the book I've just finished. You can't just not read these books, not know about them.
Simply brilliant. Reading it to the end, I felt as though I'd just drawn my first full breath in years. At a moment of collective madness, there is nothing more refreshing - or, indeed, provocative - than sanity.
An abomination
This is an author who specialises in expressing what everyone sort of knows already and is afraid to say ... well argued, well supported and well observed
Graceful and witty
Necessary and provocative
Impressive and lively . Murray's comprehensive survey of the prevailing madness will not persuade every reader. But it raises the real questions of our times.
Murray's book performs a great service
Fascinating . Much of what Murray writes is pertinent and hard to disagree with
Murray's book raises urgent questions about how people should conduct themselves in today's age of "wokeness"'
Murray's was the third critical interrogation of this subject that I read this summer, and it is the best.
A profoundly helpful insight on the hysteria of cancel culture.
Descriere
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA Times and Sunday Times Book of the YearUpdated with a new afterword by the author'Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues' - Jordan B. Peterson'[Murray's] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone' - Richard DawkinsAre we living through the great derangement of our times?In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
