In 1920, the British philosopher, logician, and mathematician Bertrand Russell traveled on a short visit to Russia, a trip that brought him a lot of frustration, and later made him one of the most prominent critics of Bolshevism, or the “Russian experiment in communism,” without this meaning that he abandoned his support for socialism as an idea. Or a political approach.
In the first section of this book, Russell records his direct impressions of that visit, in the form of journalistic observations carried out by a committed leftist and first-class philosopher. While the second theoretical and philosophical section is devoted to presenting his main criticisms of Marxism and Bolshevism. Such as criticizing the Marxist philosophy of history, the psychological motives that drive man according to Marx, criticizing the Bolshevik vision of democracy, and refusing to repeat the Bolshevik experience in the West.
Russell presents his ideas to the average reader in a smooth manner without this meaning that he abandons the depth of treatment. Russell's experience and his relationship with a revolution he believed in and witnessed its failure may inspire many. Because it teaches them that changing the world for the better comes through honesty and criticism, and through learning from mistakes, and understanding those who committed them with idealism and courage.
Burdened with noble goals, five young Frenchmen embark on a journey to deliver humanitarian aid to the Kakani region in Bosnia, during the period of civil war, but what began as a dangerous humanitarian mission on a bumpy road in the snow and cold, took a different path that made all their assumptions subject to question and skepticism. What's really in the boxes? Where are they going? What awaits them there on the other end? In addition to having to cross real checkpoints, they will also face more difficult intellectual barriers. What do the victims really need: survival or victory? What must be found: the animal survival instinct that requires only food and housing, or the human sense of dignity that requires means of resistance?
In an interesting and well-paced plot, the French writer Jean-Christophe Ruffin raises very profound questions about humanitarian work: its feasibility, its motives, and how to be truly humanitarian to the fullest extent. These are questions that the novel's characters keep asking themselves, and to each other, throughout a dangerous journey that may change their convictions, and perhaps their destinies, forever.
