Recenzje

"A Classic."

"Aung San Suu Kyi's extraordinary achievement has been to confront the regime peacefully, reasonably, and persuasively...[in] one of the most laudable continuing acts of political courage."

"Such is the depth of passion and learning that she brings to her writings about national identity and its links with culture and language that she has attracted the admiration of intellectuals around the world."
