Nous ne sommes pas plus intelligents que ceux qui, au XXe siècle, ont vu s'effondrer la démocratie en Europe et le totalitarisme s'y répandre. Mais nous avons un avantage:nous pouvons apprendre de leurs erreurs.Timothy Snyder livre ici un guide de la résistance. À travers vingt chapitres, il propose des clefs essentielles pour lutter contre les dérives de l'autoritarisme et défendre nos libertés citoyennes face à la montée des extêmes en Occident. Dans cette édition illustrée, l'artiste multiprimée Nora Krug offre, grâce à son univers graphique unique, un reflet saisissant de notre mémoire collective.«Il n'existe pas de livre plus concis, plus profond ni plus essentiel sur le sujet. Le chef-d'oeuvre de Timothy Snyder est un rappel saisissant de la myriade de formes insidieuses que prend l'oppression. Désormais magnifiquement illustré par Nora Krug, De la tyrannie met en lumi!ère ce à quoi nous devons être attentifs et ce contre quoi nous devons lutter» J.J. Abrams, réalisateur.
Depuis toujours, Nora Krug ressent que le simple fait d'être citoyenne allemande la relie à l'Holocauste, la dépossédant d'un quelconque sentiment d'appartenance culturelle. Après douze ans passés aux États-Unis, et alors qu'un non-dit plane sur la participation de sa propre famille à la guerre, elle part à la recherche de la vérité... Entre bande dessinée et album photo, une enquête intime stupéfiante au coeur de l'Allemagne nazie.
The German bestseller - a powerful and deeply affecting graphic memoir that explores identity, guilt and the meaning of home *WINNER of the The National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography* One of the Guardian 's '50 Biggest Books of Autumn 2018' The New York Times Critics' Top Books of 2018 Nora Krug grew up as a second-generation German after the end of the Second World War, struggling with a profound ambivalence towards her country's recent past. Travelling as a teenager, her accent alone evoked raw emotions in the people she met, an anger she understood, and shared. Seventeen years after leaving Germany for the US, Nora Krug decided she couldn't know who she was without confronting where she'd come from. In Heimat, she documents her journey investigating the lives of her family members under the Nazi regime, visually charting her way back to a country still tainted by war. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically told, Heimat is a powerful meditation on the search for cultural identity, and the meaning of history and home.
A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder's bestselling book of lessons for surviving and resisting America's arc toward authoritarianism, featuring the visual storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug "Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the twentieth century, which will serve all citizens as we shape the future."--Shepard Fairey, artist and activist Timothy Snyder's New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow ("4: Take responsibility for the face of the world"), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent ("11: Investigate"), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal ("9: Be kind to our language"), and more.
In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging--at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories--to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder's riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

Wie kann man verstehen, wer man ist, wenn man nicht weiß, woher man kommt?« Sie lebt seit über 17 Jahren in New York, ist verheiratet mit einem amerikanischen Juden und fühlt sich deutscher als jemals zuvor. Woher kommt das? Und wer ist sie eigentlich? Die preisgekrönte, 1977 in Karlsruhe geborene Autorin und Illustratorin Nora Krug fragt sich, was Heimat für sie bedeutet, und unternimmt eine literarisch-grafische Spurensuche in der Vergangenheit ihrer Familie: Was hatte Großvaters Fahrschule mit dem jüdischen Unternehmer zu tun, dessen Chauffeur er vor dem Krieg gewesen war? Und was sagen die mit Hakenkreuzen dekorierten Schulaufsätze über ihren Onkel, der mit 18 Jahren im Zweiten Weltkrieg fiel? Ihre gezeichneten und handgeschriebenen Bildergeschichten fügt Krug mit Fotografien, Archiv- und Flohmarktfunden zu einem völlig neuen Ganzen zusammen. „Heimat« ist ein einzigartiges Erinnerungskunstwerk, in dem Familiengeschichte auf Zeitgeschichte trifft. Ein Graphic Memoir, lebendig, wahr und poetisch erzählt.
