Book Description

Thomas Paine fue uno de los mayores defensores de la libertad en la historia, y su Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre, publicada por primera vez en 1791, es la clave de su reputación. Inspirado por su indignación por el ataque de Edmund Burke a la Revolución Francesa, el texto de Paine es una apasionada defensa de los derechos inalienables del hombre. Desde su publicación, los Derechos del Hombre han sido celebrados, criticados, difamados, reprimidos y cooptados. Pero en Rights of Man, de Thomas Paine, el polemista y comentarista Christopher Hitchens, “en su característica mejor característicamente incisiva”, se maravilla de su previsión y se deleita en su polémica (The Times, Londres). Hitchens es un descendiente político del gran panfletista, un Tom Paine para nuestros tiempos difíciles”. (The Independent, Londres) En este relato cautivador de la vida y la época de Paine [que vale la pena leer], demuestra cómo el libro de Paine constituye la piedra angular filosófica de los Estados Unidos y cómo, en una época en la que tanto los derechos como la razón están bajo ataque”, la vida y la escritura de Thomas Paine siempre serán parte del arsenal del que tendremos que depender”.

Christopher Hitchens

He is a British-American author, columnist, essayist, orator, literary and religious critic, social critic and journalist. Hitchens was the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of more than 30 books, including five collections of political, cultural, and literary essays. His polemical rhetoric made him a central topic of public discourse, resulting in him as an intellectual and controversial figure. Contributed to New Statesman, The Nation, The Weekly Standard, The Atlantic, London Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, Slate, Free Inquiry, and Vanity Fair. Describing himself as a democratic socialist, Marxist and anti-totalitarian, he broke with the political left after describing it as the "lukewarm reaction" of the Western left to the debate over The Satanic Verses, followed by the left's embrace of Bill Clinton and the anti-NATO war movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s.

The last century. His support for the war on Iraq further separated him. His writings included criticism of public figures such as Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Mother Teresa and Diana, Princess of Wales. He was the older brother of conservative journalist and author Peter Hitchens. He also called for the separation of church and state. As a critic of divinity, he regards notions of a deity or a higher power as universalistic beliefs that restrict individual freedom. He advocated freedom of expression and scientific discovery, and that it trumps religion as a moral code of conduct for human civilization. His famous statement, "What can be affirmed without evidence can be denied without evidence" became known as the Hitchens Code.
