  • "In her 1985 CBC Massey Lectures Doris Lessing addresses the question of personal freedom and individual responsibility in a world increasingly prone to political rhetoric, mass emotions, and inherited structures of unquestioned belief. The Nobel Prize-winning author of more than thirty books, Doris Lessing is one of our most challenging and important writers."@en

  • "Se presentan aquí cinco conferencias dictadas en 1985, donde Lessing estructura una honda reflexión sobre las posibilidades de la racionalidad frente al totalitarismo: ¿por qué la humanidad parece ser incapaz de eludir la barbarie?, ¿por qué si ahora sabemos tanto sobre la conducta humana no podemos aprovechar lo que nos enseñan la historia y la sociología?, ¿por qué no somos capaces de ejercer el pensamiento independiente ante la presión de la colectividad? Con soltura, de una plática en otra, Lessing va abordando la mayoría de sus temas predilectos, todos ellos tan actuales hoy como lo fueron en el momento en que dictó esas conferencias. Nuestra época será recordada por su mucha información y su poca capacidad para poner en práctica ese saber. Sin embargo, ante la crueldad, los dogmas, la mercadotecnia, las modas caprichosas de la opinión pública, las estrategias con las que el entorno ejerce su presión sobre la individualidad, Lessing contrapone una tenue pero segura confianza: ahora la humanidad es, al menos, capaz de observarse a sí misma con objetividad, y en esa capacidad está cifrado su futuro. Este breve volumen de corte ensayístico es una afortunada síntesis de las preocupaciones de la novelista y un vivo ejemplo de su visionaria reflexión."@es
