TIMOTHY SNYDER at Kane Hall |
Presented with the CENTER FOR CZECH EDUCATION AND CULTURE and the POLISH STUDIES Endowment at the University of Washington. One of the leading historians at work today, Yale University professor Timothy Snyder is in Seattle for two evenings, each of which should be compelling. Following his appearance at Elliott Bay on Tuesday, May 22nd, where he will discuss the remarkable book the late historian and public critic Tony Judt worked on before his untimely death, Thinking the Twentieth Century (Penguin Press)—a book Timothy Snyder helped work on, the shape of conversations between these two remarkable men. Tonight, Timothy Snyder will focus on his own extraordinary work. His most recent book, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books), has won widespread, international acclaim. "The most important work of history for years." – Anthony Beevor, Telegraph (London) – "Book of the Year." "A genuinely shattering report on the ideology, the political strategy, and the daily horror of Soviet and Nazi rule ... Timothy Snyder did archival research in English, German, Yiddish, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Belorussian, Ukrainian, Russian, and French. His learning is extraordinary. His vivid imagination leads him to see combinations, similarities, and general trends where others would only see chaos and confusion ... I have never seen a book like it." – István Deák, The New Republic. Tuesday, Kane Hall 120 is located on the University of Washington campus.
