Synopsis

Irene is a survivor. This is her true life story. Born in the same year as Anne Frank, she lived through the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, except Irene survived World War 2. She helped Jews hide during the holocaust and sneaked aboard trains returning from the Eastern Front. As a kid, she watched bombs fall and scrounged to provide for her family. When the Iron Curtain went up, the Russians occupied her homeland and Cold War Europe was more harsh than any trial before. Irene disguised herself as a boy, hiding in plain sight for three years. She traded at black markets and traveled dangerous ways to provide food and necessities. Nurse training gave Irene a career and a precarious young adult romance began behind the Iron Curtain, where her longing for freedom caused suspicion among the communist comrades at work. She was forced to flee  alone from East Berlin to West Berlin in 1953. For years, she suffered from PTSD until she began recovery writing and finished these memoirs. All three of her historic survivor books are in this volume (My World War 2 Childhood, Years Hidden As a Boy, and Journey to Freedom), as well as World War 2 European maps, a WWII and Holocaust timeline, and historic images not included in previous releases of the book series.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
