Escape from the Anthill

About this book

In this 40th anniversary edition, discover the epoch-defining collection of essays from one of Ireland's great essayists, Hubert Butler.   

Escape from the Anthill is known for its erudition, elegant prose, and the depth with which Hubert Butler engages with complex issues, offering sharp insights on resisting totalitarianism and defending personal freedom. Drawing on his experiences in Europe before and after World War II, Butler offers eloquent critiques of ideological conformity and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppressive systems.   

Challenging conformity and celebrating the importance of independent thought, Escape from the Anthill remains as pertinent today as ever before.
