A essay on the Nazis and how they are presented in society today.,
By
This review is from: Reflections of Nazism: An Essay on Kitsch and Death (Midland Book) (Paperback)
I read a lot. If I have a hard time in understanding the point of the author, I know the point has not been well made. This essay is the latest case. I understood some of the points Friedlander is trying to make but his whole essay uses difficult words, extremely long sentences, and flips from one point to the next. I wonder what Saul was trying to do with this essay. He comments on some of the contempory viewpoints of the Nazis, and show how they are wrong and imprecise. He disputes Speer's biography of his years with Hitler. These are all very relevant points. However he flips from one example to the next, and it was difficult to read as well as understand.
A philosopher may have a better understanding of what Saul was trying to say in this essay. This essay was translated from French, so possibly the translator got it wrong. A difficult and unfulfilling read. |
