"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." This ancient Greek aphorism, preserved in a fragment from the poet Archilochus, describes the central thesis of Isaiah Berlin's masterly essay on Leo Tolstoy and the philosophy of history, the subject of the epilogue to War and Peace. Although there have been many interpretations of the adage, Berlin uses it to mark a fundamental distinction between human beings who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things and those who relate everything to a central, all-embracing system. Applied to Tolstoy, the saying illuminates a paradox that helps explain his philosophy of history: Tolstoy was a fox, but believed in being a hedgehog. One of Berlin's most celebrated works, this extraordinary essay offers profound insights about Tolstoy, historical understanding, and human psychology.
This new edition features a revised text that supplants all previous versions, English translations of the many passages in foreign languages, a new foreword in which Berlin biographer Michael Ignatieff explains the enduring appeal of Berlin's essay, and a new appendix that provides rich context, including excerpts from reviews and Berlin's letters, as well as a startling new interpretation of Archilochus's epigram.

Описание: From the beginning, Hedgehog Boy was far more than a simple queer fairytale: it's use of such a heavy topic as child abuse and it's consequences, both physical and psychological, marked it as a well-thought form of therapy. Contrary to historical fairy tales, which usually showed kids the dangers of straying from the "normal" path that society had agreed upon, Capone's story argues for self-expression, reconstruction after traumatic events and the building of a chosen family. These themes should, it seems to me, resonate one way or another with every queer adult. In fact, Capone subverts the usual goal of fairy tales in various ways, as for example with his portrayal of Frank, the angry teddy bear: Frank's role would normally be that of the conscience voice, the calming, moral side of the boy. Instead, we get a fierce warrior who'd reduce Jiminy Cricket to road kill in an instant. With The Legend of Hedgehog writer and artist Rene Capone, conjures up all of the classic children's tales of young and lost souls fleeing into their imaginations in order to escape the cold, harsh nature of reality. And like Peter, Alice, and Dorothy before him, we're presented with a brash and courageous hero who doesn't submit to torment and strives to find freedom and happiness despite the predominant darkness of his past. Capone doesn't shrink from his responsibilities as storyteller, and as Kitty says, "In all the greatest books, someone always gets rescued". The question, of course, is who does the rescuing, and who's rescued.
