Freedom

Resumen del libro

Sixty years ago, the United Nations took a moral stand against human rights crimes and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a proclamation of thirty rights that belong to us all, starting memorably with Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal.
Now, an array of internationally acclaimed writers have chosen one of the thirty rights as the inspiration for a short story. Published in association with Amnesty International, the result is a mix of thoughtful, serious, funny, and thrilling stories that harness the power of literature to celebrate and affirm our shared humanity. Authors include: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Mohammed Naseehu Ali Kate Allen Gabriella Ambrosio Kate Atkinson Liana Badr Ishmael Beah Héctor Aguilar Camín Amit Chaudhuri Paulo Coelho Vered Cohen-Barzilay David Constantine Ariel Dorfman Helen Dunmore Jon Fosse Petina Gappah Alan Garner Nadine Gordimer Juan Goytisolo Patricia Grace Richard Griffiths Xiaolu Guo Milton Hatoum A.
