The book delves into the lives of Oscar Wilde, Jean Améry, Nelson Mandela, and Aung San Suu Kyi, highlighting their resistance against oppressive regimes and experiences as prisoners. It examines the decline of Western global dominance since the late 19th century through their comparative biographies. By focusing on themes such as forced displacement, war, and the threat of humiliation, it reveals how these figures possessed deep empathy for their adversaries and a nuanced understanding of their struggles within a broader historical context.
