A journey in pursuit of freedom, equality and collective peace…
In this work, H. G. Wells, one of the most important thinkers of the modern world, presents a comprehensive inventory of the rights that make human beings human. At a time when war has turned into a global crisis, when societies are tired and individuals are hopeless, Wells’ **Human Rights** provides bold answers to burning questions and charts a social course for the future.
Criticism of the outdated governments and instruments of power that drag the countries of the world into an endless cycle of conflict is complemented by a design for a new civilization. Wells sees rights and freedoms as the backbone of a collective conscience, beyond mere legal texts. In this book, he discusses a wide range of issues from the basic needs of the individual to freedom of thought and expression, from social justice to a peaceful world order.
Human Rights** scrutinizes not only individual freedom but also the common ideal of humanity. It emphasizes that a robust social transformation has the power to overthrow outdated orders and keeps alive the hope for a future built on disarmament, fair sharing and a sense of responsibility. On every page, there is an alternative to outdated orders, a way out of the vicious cycle of war, and a promise of freedom against the fears that shackle thought.
For those who want to witness H. G. Wells’ imagination, sociological depth and belief in humanity, “The Rights of Man” is a stimulating read about change against unchanging challenges. It is both a call and a guide… The key to a bright world is in your hands.
