When I bought the book I originally wanted to write this review for the Black History Month... As you can see I couldn't make it: the book requires special attention from the reader, as it tackles a complex topics such as racism, colonialism and psychologist whilst imbuing the whole with references to literature and philosophy - everything written in exquisite academic language. It might not be everyone's taste, but if you are interested in such topics, you'll be astonished by this profound, foretelling piece of work.

Intellectually stimulating, a must lecture.
Das neue Buch von Rüdiger Safranski beschreibt die Entwicklung des Individualismus. Er beginnt in seinem Buch "Einzeln sein" mit der Renaissance und führt uns über Luther, Montaigne, Diderot, Stendhal, Kierkegaard, Stirner und Thoreau bis zu George, Huch, Arendt und Sartre und endet mit Ernst Jüngers "Waldgang" von 1951. Die Gegenwart spart er leider aus. Trotzdem ist es ein gut lesbares Buch mit vielen neuen und klugen Gedanken zu einem Thema, das die Menschheit schon immer beschäftigt hat - die Einsamkeit.

Author

Audre Lorde was a writer, feminist and civil rights activist - or, as she famously put it, 'Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet'. Born in New York in 1934, she had her first poem published while she was still in high school. After stints as a factory worker, ghost writer, social worker, X-ray technician, medical clerk, and arts and crafts supervisor, she became a librarian in Manhattan and gradually rose to prominence as a poet, essayist and speaker, anthologised by Langston Hughes, lauded by Adrienne Rich, and befriended by James Baldwin. She was made Poet Laureate of New York State in 1991, when she was awarded the Walt Whitman prize; she was also awarded honorary doctorates from Hunter, Oberlin and Haverford colleges. She died of cancer in 1992, aged 58.
