A celebration of Percy Shelley's assertion that 'poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world', these thirty-plus essays on writers from Oscar Wilde to Salman Rushdie dispel the myth of politics as a stone tied to the neck of literature; Norman Podhoretz's 'bloody crossroads'. Instead Hitchens argues that when all parties in the state were agreed on a matter, it was the individual pens that created the space for a true moral argument.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 'Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere', Christopher Hitchens celebra la afirmación de Percy Shelley de que 'los poetas son los legisladores no reconocidos del mundo'. A través de más de treinta ensayos sobre escritores que van desde Oscar Wilde hasta Salman Rushdie, Hitchens desafía la idea de que la política es una carga para la literatura. En cambio, argumenta que cuando todas las partes del estado están de acuerdo en un asunto, son las plumas individuales las que crean el espacio para un verdadero argumento moral. Este libro es una exploración del poder de la escritura y su impacto en la sociedad.
