  Past Imperfect - French...

  A “marvelously readable” critique of Sartre, Camus, de Beauvoir, and other French postwar intellectuals that “consistently entertains and provokes” (The Washington Post).   The uniquely prominent role of French intellectuals in European cultural and political life following World War II is the focus of this book by the acclaimed author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Tony Judt analyzes this intellectual community’s most divisive conflicts: how to respond to the promise and the betrayal of Communism and how to sustain a commitment to radical ideals when confronting the hypocrisy in Stalin’s Soviet Union, in the new Eastern European Communist states, and in France itself. Judt shows why this was an all-consuming moral dilemma to a generation of French men and women, how their responses were conditioned by war and occupation, and how postwar political choices have come to sit uneasily on the conscience of later generations of French intellectuals. Judt’s analysis extends beyond the writings of fashionable “existentialist” personalities such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Simone de Beauvoir to include a wide intellectual community of Catholic philosophers, non-aligned journalists, literary critics and poets, Communist and non-Communist alike—and asserts that what he calls the “moral irresponsibility” of those years damaged France’s cultural standing, and reflected the nation’s larger difficulty in confronting its own ambivalent past.   “A forthright and uncommonly damning study of those intellectually volatile years . . . indicts these intellectuals for their inhumanity in failing to test their political thought against political reality.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Brilliant . . . splendidly written.” —Foreign Affairs

  A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women’s voices to be heard. 
  Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea. 
  Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip. 
  All-too-often dismissed as the past-time of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there’s more to gossip than meets the eye. In today’s world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure. 
  Tracing gossip’s roots from old wives’ tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out? 
  A joyous reclamation of women’s words, this book is for anyone who’s ever uttered the words, ‘You won’t believe this…’
