Recenzje

At a time when 'traditional values' are vigorously promoted by politicians around the globe and the nuclear family is vaunted as the essential building block of stable societies, Berman's study reminds us of the messy contingency of human relations and the power of fiction to allow us to imagine alternative ways of understanding what really constitutes fellow feeling.
