<p><b>V¿av Havel¿s remarkable and rousing essay on the tyranny of apathy, with a new introduction by Timothy Snyder </b><br><br>Cowed by life under Communist Party rule, a greengrocer hangs a placard in their shop window: <i>Workers of the world, unite!</i> Is it a sign of the grocer¿s unerring ideology? Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves?<br><br> Written in 1978, V¿av Havel¿s meditation on political dissent ¿ the rituals of its suppression, and the sparks that re-ignite it ¿ would prove the guiding manifesto for uniting Solidarity movements across the Soviet Union. A portrait of activism in the face of falsehood and intimidation, <i>The Power of the Powerless</i> remains a rousing call against the allure of apathy.<br><br><b>''Havel¿s diagnosis of political pathologies has a special resonance in the age of Trump'' Pankaj Mishra<br></b></p>
