Klappentext zu „Inventing Human Rights “
How were human rights invented, and how does their tumultuous history influence their perception and our ability to protect them today? From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.

Rezension zu „Inventing Human Rights “
"This is a wonderful history of the emergence and development of the powerful idea of human rights, written by one of the leading historians of our time." Amartya Sen "...a rich, elegant and persuasive essay... there is much to be learned by drawing connections between the political events that shaped modern politics and the literary developments that shaped modern sensibilities." London Review of Books "A tour de force." The New York Times Book Review "To connect human rights to social history in this way is an original and interesting approach to the subject... She offers a lively and informative history." Wall Street Journal "Hunt's survey is fast-paced, provocative and ultimately optimistic. Declarations, she writes, are not empty words but transformative; they make us want to become the people they claim we are." The New Yorker"
