The good terrorist - Doris Lessing - książka wyd. 2007

Opis

The Good Terrorist follows Alice Mellings, a woman in her thirties who drifts into a London squat occupied by a small group of radical left‑wing activists. Alice is both nurturing and naïve: she cooks, cleans, repairs the house, and tries to impose order on the chaotic lives of the people around her, believing she is helping to build a political community. As the group becomes increasingly entangled in extremist rhetoric and minor acts of protest, Alice’s desire to belong blinds her to the moral and practical consequences of their actions. What begins as disorganized idealism gradually hardens into genuine political violence, revealing how ordinary people can slide into extremism through a mix of emotional need, group pressure, and self‑deception.
