Arendt, Hannah - The Origins of Totalitarianism (Published in by The Folio Society in 2022. Introduced by Anne Applebaum. The Origins of Totalitarianism won the Scholarly, Academic & Reference Books category at BBD&P Awards 2022. Published by Folio in its first-ever illustrated edition, Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism is a ground-breaking study of how the Nazi and Soviet regimes came to power, which speaks directly to our own age. In an age of strong-man leaders, mass populist movements and media disinformation, The Origins of Totalitarianism has soared back into the public consciousness and become essential reading for our times. Published shortly after the Second World War, Hannah Arendt's study of state tyranny stands as a powerful warning from history, and as one of the 20th century's most important works of political history. Arendt – with the insight of a Jewish refugee who fled Hitler's Germany – lays bare the brutality of Nazism and Stalinism, and seeks to advance our understanding of the forces of antisemitism and imperialism that forged them. This is the first-ever illustrated edition, with famous propaganda images and documentary photography from the USSR and the Third Reich. It includes an exclusive introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum – a leading voice on authoritarianism and Russian history – who fears that 'once again, we are living in a world that Arendt would recognise.' Quarter-bound in blocked cloth with textured paper sides printed with a design by Jamie Keenan. Set in Dante with Kabel as display. Vol 1: 464pp; Vol 2: 448pp. 28 integrated colour and black-and-white images per volume. Printed and die-cut slipcase. 10" x 6.75". )
