Resistere!
Ragazzaccio terribile questo Hessel, novantatré anni suonati (razza buona quelli nati il 20 ottobre, parlo per esperienza diretta :-)) e ancora la forza di esortare i francesi a ribellarsi all'indifferenza per non perdere tutto quello che è stato conquistato in termini di dignità e uguaglianza dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale.
Non solo, ebreo tedesco di nascita ma naturalizzato francese fin dal 1937, dopo essersi recato nella Striscia di Gaza, sconvolto da quanto ha visto, af...more

An den Qualitäten des Autors lässt sich nicht rütteln, Hessel ist definitiv ein großer Denker und Mann von Format. Dennoch war ich von dieser Streitschrift etwas enttäuscht. Vielleicht hatte ich mir von dem schmalen Büchlein einfach zu viel erwartet: eine Streitschrift gegen den Finanzkapitalismus, eindringliche Worte gegen die Ungerechtigkeiten unserer Gesellschaft, eine versierte Analyse der Probleme unserer Zeit - das alles hatte ich mir erhofft.

قراءة سريعة جداً لكتاب رائع لا يتجاوز الثمانين صفحة, من الغضب الجميل والمُبرَر والموجّه ضدالعالم, ستيفان هسل مقاوم فرنسي ضد النازية يبلغ من العمر 97 عاماً شارك في كتابة نص حقوق الإنسان في الأمم المتحدة, وهو إذ يكتب هذا الكتاب يعرف تماماً عماذا يتحدث, ولماذا يجب أن يغضب الشباب, ولماذا هو غاضبٌ الآن بشكل منصف لأجل فلسطين!
الكتاب عبارة عن مقالات صغيرة عن الغضب من الدول والحكومات والأنظمة الديكتاتورية المحشوة بين قطعتي بسكويت ديموقراطي, الغضب تجاه التمييز, تجاه نظام الضمان الاجتماعي, وأشياء من الممكن...more

Parece mentira. Un anciano de 93 años que encamina a la juventud de nuestros días mediante un llamamiento a la revolución. Eso sí: la revolución de la no-violencia, como él dice.

Je ne suis pas habitué des phénomènes d’engouement pour un livre, hormis s’il m’a été recommandé par un ami. Ce livre de Stéphane Hessel ne m’a été recommandé par personne si ce n’est les médias. Je me suis laissé tenter par la curiosité que le monde affichait envers ce pamphlet de 20 pages. A force d’entendre des avis, je voulais m’en faire un.
En premier lieu, le titre est, pour moi, parfait. En effet, l’auteur ne cesse de s’indigner pendant 20 pages. Il transpose son indignation et celle des F...more

This is probably the shortest book I will ever list reading with barely a dozen pages. But by jolly I need all the help I can with adding books to my count this year so as thin as it is: It surely counts.
I read INDIGNEZ VOUS in French which is also the only reason why I read it at all.
I am currently brushing up on my school French for a trip to Nice later this month. I was glad to see that I understood the gist of the whole and about 50-60% of the contents in particular.

Stéphane Hessel lived for nearly a century and almost everything he achieved in that time was extraordinary. He fought in the French Resistance; he was captured by the Nazis, sent to Buchenwald, waterboarded; he was in the room as they drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Not the least of his achievements was Indignez-vous!.

Hessel saltó a la primera línea de la actualidad en 2010 con este breve manifiesto titulado ¡Indignaos! Fue el descubrimiento de un señor de 93, que vivió una guerra y que fue uno de los redactores de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos. Precisamente gente como él, que han vivido tiempos peores que el nuestro y que intentaron cambiarlo son las voces que deberíamos escuchar. Hessel hace una comparativa entre la situación actual con el periodo de la segunda guerra mundial y su lucha e...more
Das Essay hat in den letzten Monaten sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommen und ist in Deutschland schnell in die Bestsellerlisten aufgerückt. Was ich angesichts der Oberflächlichkeit nicht nachvollziehen kann. Gut, 14 Seiten (die restlichen Seiten enthalten Fußnoten und ein Nachwort der Verlegerin) sind etwas knapp für ausschweifende philosophische Betrachtungen, aber etwas mehr fundierte Kritik hätte sicher Platz gefunden. So drängt sich eher der Eindruck einer Zusammenfassung von wohlbekannten Mis...more
Indignatevi! di Stephane Hessel è un libro che si presta ad un dibattito piuttosto acceso.
Il testo originale di sole 32 pagine viene qui corredato da un insieme di commenti e recensioni che, a mio modo di vedere, hanno come funzione principale il portarlo ad una lunghezza pubblicabile, piuttosto che quello di preparare il terreno per una discussione vera e propria.
Il saggio presenta indicazioni concrete che però hanno come argomento realtà troppo fuori dalla vita comune dei giovani di oggi.

J'ai fini par trouver 10 minutes pour lire "Indignez-vous" de Stéphane Hessel. Il n'en faut guère plus pour venir à bout de ce court pamphlet, bricolé à partir du texte du discours prononcé en mai 2009 devant un auditoire clairsemé sur le plateau des Glières par un diplomate retraité inconnu du grand public.

Stephane Hessel is a remarkable man who has lived a remarkable life. His small and eloquent book (Pamphlet really), over half taken up by an introduction from publisher Charles Glass, is a call to a peaceful and non-violent insurrection against the status quo. M Hessel’s little book has swept France, Britain and I hope soon, the United States. He reminds me that what I believe in is worth fighting for and that indifference is a real and continued danger.

Wise words of a man fighting injustice all of his life. It is a small but well written book and I think it should be obligatory in school to read it.
Stephane Hessel is a French Diplomat who fought in the Resistance in the Second World War as the Nazism outraged him. He never lost his outrage as in his point of view human rights are universal and even though many totalitarian Regimes had been abolished there is still too much injustice (and maybe even more as it is not so clear any more who does...more

I first heard an interview with 93 -year old Stepkane Hessel on CBC Radio only a few weeks ago and I was amazed about what clarity he had about the world today. He was a French Resistence fighter in WW2, helped to co-write the United Nations Charter of Human Rights and was an ambassador to France under Mitterand. His credentials are impressive but not as impressive as this little book.

This is a complicated review. I give it 4 stars because of the message but there are many works more specific and comprehensive than this.
It's a bestseller in France and has been cited for being influential in inspiring people involved in the Arab Spring revolutions. That's impressive considering it is very short at only 29 pages of actual work - there are additional notes and background on the author included as well. It also does not say anything that hasn't been said before or can't be found...more

Clocking barely below 30 pages, "Indignez-vous!" is a short, impactful political pamphlet for the times. It reads like the words of an awe-inspiring grandfather, speaking gently to France's grandchildren of WW2 and compelling them to find reasons to rise up peacefully.
If I had read this work by itself two years ago, chances are I would have merely dismissed it as idealistic and incomplete. Sure, Hessel's life is a true inspiration, and his call to feel outrage at the way we treat the less fortun...more

In this very slim book (which I read in a few hours) the author and diplomat, M. Hessel (a veteran of the French Resistance who survived torture at the hands of the Gestapo, Buchenwald concentration camp, and forced labor in a Nazi prison) speaks of the need for the citizen to be enraged at the prevailing inequities and injustices in today’s world and find a constructive means of striving to reaffirm the values his generation had enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights and help build a b...more

'Stephane Hessel, Resistance fighter and concentration-camp survivor, tells the young of today that their lives and liberties are worth fighting for. Remembering the ideals for which he risked his life, while never forgetting the evils against which he struggled, the now 93-year-old writer and diplomat calls on all of us to take back the rights that have slowly slipped away since the Second World War ended.' This Scribe publication is a bilingual edition translated by award winning translator an...more
[..] appelons-nous toujours à "une véritable insurrection pacifique contre les moyes de communication de masse que ne proposent comme horizon pour notre jeunesse que la consommation de masse, le mépris des plus faibles et de la culture, l'amnésie généralisée et la compétition à outrance de tous contre tous."

Time for Outrage! isn't really a book, but a short pamphlet. It's about 20+ pages and written by Stéphane Hessel, a German-born jew, who became a member of the French resistance, spent time in a concentration camp, later was a participant with Eleanor Roosevelt and others in writing the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and had many more extraordinary experiences. He went to school with Sartre and knew him and other philosophers. Now, at the age of 93, he has written this pam...more
Ante la situación social y política que impera en México y muchos otros países en la actualidad, Indígnate, de Stéphane Hessel, es como un balde de agua helada para despertar la conciencia social de los lectores.

This is just a very small book, about 4" by 6", with 29 pages of actual text by the author and 12 pages of notes to the text and about the life and accomplishments of the author.
The author, Stephane Hessel, a Jew was born in Berlin, Germany in 1917. When World War II broke out he was fortunate enough to be able to flee Germany and settle in France. However, he was caught on a mission in Germany shipped to Buchenwald concentration camp before the end of the war. He was questioned, tortured and...more

A small pamphlet of popular interest in Western Europe. Connects the French Resistance and the reconstruction of Europe after fascism to contemporary leftist battles against austerity measures, Israel's oppression of Palestinians and the conservative insurgence against immigration in the EU. Written by a 93 year-old French diplomat and concentration camp survivor, its appeal comes more from its author's historical positionality than the originality of its arguments. At its cheap price and small...more
Si vous avez déjà écouté certains interviews de Stéphane Hessel datant de ces deux dernières années, vous savez probablement ce que contient ce livre. Il s'agit de lancer un appel a l'indignation face a un monde complexe, inégalitaire et de plus en plus injuste.
Le discours ne laisse pas indifférent a cause de la franchise qu'on y ressent. Le ton porte aussi a s'indigner mais de façon non violente. Pas d'appel a la vengeance ni au chaos. Hessel parle a la manière d'un citoyen qui n'a plus confian...more

This isn't a real book, it is basically a short essay. Nevertheless, its message and the attention it's caused, first in France, then in Germany, goes deeper than most books on our societies and our problems could've ignited. Here, a 93 year old resistance fighter, then French diplomat calls for the younger generations, and the youth in particular, to participate more, not to be satisfied with or indifferent towards their and others' situations, to resist the development the French (but again, t...more
Indignante.
No logro encontrar para este libro otro calificativo que el de basura, ya que no es más una recopilación de toda esa demagogia barata y facilona a la que se nos tiene acostumbrados, rezumante de odio, hipocresía y autocomplacencia. Un insulto a la inteligencia del lector.
Seamos francos, ¿quiere hablar de la Francia Libre? Hablemos de la tropas de la Francia de Vichy que lucharon contra los Americanos en el frente del norte de África en el ’42, o de la entrega a los nazis, por parte de...more

C'est la curiosité qui m'a conduit vers ce petit feuillet de Stéphane Hessel, le bouche-à-oreille ayant largement fait son travail. Et on ne peut faire plus efficace : l'auteur nous prend véritablement à partie en nous montrant à quel point la société actuelle regorge de sources d'indignation. Or le peuple s'est endormi, accepte toutes les injustices, les inégalités sans s'émouvoir plus que de raison. Le discours pourrait paraître naïf s'il n'émanait d'un vieil homme de 93 ans, grand Resistant,...more
Yo también estoy indignado. De rabiosa actualidad por el movimiento 15M, compré este libro, que se postula como una de las mechas que inician el despertar.
Un texto breve (quizás demasiado) y muy pasional, que no trata de contar una historia ni de convencer de nada, sino de extraer en el lector la capacidad de reflexión crítica frente al estado del mundo y hacerle comprender que no puede seguir sentado en su sofá como si tal cosa.

Zu Recht empört sich der über Neuzigjährige über die heutige Zeit und das heutigen Kommunikations- und Konsumverhalten der Menschen und die daraus resultierende prekäre Lage der Welt. Er verweist auf seine eigenen Aktivitäten in und nach der Résistance und während seines Lebens im diplomatischen Dienst sowie in seinen Tätigkeiten für internationale Organisationen. Er ruft zu Widerstand auf gegen die heutigen Zustände, doch eine wirkliche Lösung zeigt er nicht auf. Widerstand ist zwar ein Anfang...more
It's a good book that drives us to make a reflection about the todays political and economic situation of the European countries in crisis. Stéphane Hessel is a former member of the French Resistance and a concentration camp survivor, and in the few pages of this book he shows us that there are some similarities in these two particular difficult moments of modern history. And we, as free people, must fight to protect our rights - the same rights that he and the rest of the european leaders of hi...more

“Pour le voir, il faut bien regarder, chercher. Je dis aux jeunes: cherchez un peu, vous allez trouver. La pire des attitudes est l'indifférence, dire «je n'y peux rien, je me débrouille». En vous comportant ainsi, vous perdez l'une des composantes essentielles qui fait l'humain. Une des composantes indispensables: la faculté d'indignation et l'engagement qui en est la conséquence.”

“The worst possible outlook is indifference that says, “I can’t do anything about it; I’ll just get by.” Behaving like that deprives you of one of the essentials of being human: the capacity and the freedom to feel outraged. That freedom is indispensable, as is the political involvement that goes with it.”
