Showing results for "writers" in Politicians

The Naked God is Howard Fast's public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. The best-selling author of Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism.

El poder oratorio y persuasivo del que gozan muchos políticos de profesión, puede responder a una base literaria, al conocimiento de los libros y el amor por las letras que han aprendido a usar para fines partidarios. Más allá de estos afanes partidarios, sus opciones políticas y su honestidad (o la falta de ella), es cierto que muchos de ellos comparten el mismo amor por las letras que los literatos. Es esta base de Don Miguel de Unamuno para escribir el ensayo Políticos y Literatos.
