الاستنتاج الذي استخلصته من تاريخ العبودية هو أن الحرية ليست مجرد مسألة حقوق يجب تكريسها في القانون. الحق في التعبير عن نفسك لا يزال يترك لك الحاجة إلى أن تقرر ما ستقوله ، وأن تجد من يستمع إليه ، وأن تجعل كلماتك تبدو جميلة ؛ هذه هي المهارات التي يجب اكتسابها. كل ما يقوله القانون لك هو أنه يمكنك العزف على جيتارك ، إذا كان بإمكانك الحصول على واحد . إذن ، لا توفر إعلانات حقوق الإنسان سوى عدد قليل من المكونات التي يتم من خلالها صنع الحرية.

This work is incredibly difficult to explain to someone who is not reading it. It’s a touch of history, a touch of philosophy, a smidge of biography, wrapped in a social commentary. I loved reading it just for the joy of his writing. The content is fascinating but the author also has this unique style of writing which flows like music. I go back and reread this every couple years as a sort of mental pallet cleaning, and I encourage it for anyone looking for something unique to experience.

This book is based around anecdotes from people who have different approaches to life. The writing style is quite flowery. It was interesting to get these windows into people's lives and I learned historical stuff from it, although I am not sure if all the author's conclusions hold up.

I’m not sure what I was expecting, but whatever it was, I certainly didn’t get it. This might be one to revisit - it’s very, very clever and interesting in parts, but it’s a bit unclear what the author is trying to do. This is in no way a history, as implied by the title. It’s basically an extended, meandering assessment of lots of real people’s stories and motivations, extremely loosely organised into themes.
Definitely one to hang on to but I’m not sure it left a lasting impression on me this time around…

http://nhw.livejournal.com/786755.html[return][return]I got this ages ago, as it promised to be an interesting investigation of the history of how humans relate to each other. Unfortunately it isn't; it is a series of conversations with French women, one by one, with an attempt by the author to draw universal conclusions from each one individually. I got through less than a tenth of it before I reached my "Tonstant Weader fwowed up" moment, when one of the interviewees confided that[return][return]"When someone broke her favourite teapot, she did feel anger for two minutes, but then she said to herself, 'Everything has a life, everything has an end.'"[return][return]Well, that was certainly the end for me.
