| book description |

An unflinching look at the most urgent humanitarian crises around the globe, from one of the worldâ€™s most daring philosopher-reporters â€œCall[s] on people not just to see the world, but to be moved and interested by what they find there, and to do something about it.â€â€”Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic â€œFierce and elegant, LÃ©vyâ€™s musings will be of profound interest to any reader of modern continental philosophy.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews, starred review Over the past fifty years, renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri LÃ©vy has reported extensively on human rights abuses around the world. This new book follows the intrepid LÃ©vy into eight international hotspotsâ€”Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan; Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos, Greece; Libya; and Afghanistanâ€”that have escaped global attention or active response. In a deeply personal introduction, LÃ©vy recounts the intellectual journey that led him to advocacy, arguing that a truly humanist philosophy must necessarily lead to action in defense of the most vulnerable. In the second section, he reports on the eight investigative trips he undertook just before or during the coronavirus pandemic, from the massacred Christian villages in Nigeria to a dangerously fragile Afghanistan on the eve of the Taliban talks, from an anti-Semitic ambush in Libya to the overrun refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. Part manifesto, part missives from the field, this new book is a stirring rebuke to indifference and an exhortation to level our gaze at those most hidden from us.
