The Freedom to Be Free
What is freedom, are we born free or is freedom conveyed to us by others? Can it be
taken away? Is freedom only an absence of fear and constraint or does it not rather
imply the need to take part in the political and social discourse? This essay by Hannah
Arendt was first published in German by dtv in 2018. Accompanied by Thomas
Meyer’s poignant afterword, the book obviously meets the spirit of the time and hit the
top ranks of the bestselling lists in Germany for months on end.

An appeal for more compassion
Based on a fragment of a manuscript rediscovered in 2015, this text depicts the violent
revolt of the London citizens in the 16th century against the Hugenot refugees. 400
years after its creation, the text is still a plea for a humane society in times of radical
change. The editor and translator Frank Günther puts the fragment into a modern con-
text and brings this alarm call from times past into the broader, political view of today.
