More about the book
Focusing on the emergence of Esperanto, this volume explores its role as a response to national conflicts and a means for fostering international communication since its inception in 1887. It highlights the challenges faced by its speakers, particularly under oppressive regimes that viewed such direct communication as a threat. The book posits that the history of Esperanto reflects broader societal attitudes towards personal connections across borders and the pursuit of knowledge beyond state-imposed limitations. It appeals to linguists, historians, and political scientists interested in the interplay of language and politics in the twentieth century.
