The True Believer. The True Believer (Thoughts on The Nature of Mass Movements) brought Eric Hoffer worldwide fame: written in 1951, this study by a recognized classic of social thought focuses on the nature and content of humanity's mass movements, be they parties, religious movements, national or social revolutions.
How to explain the attraction for the masses of such ambiguous figures in world history and spiritual culture as Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Hitler, Stalin? Identifying patterns, the author gives original, sometimes paradoxical answers. Hoffer gained the reputation of a modern Machiavelli, but he himself considered himself a continuator of the traditions of Montaigne, Pascal, and Dostoevsky. Like Nietzsche, he is a thinker of unexpected (and not always pleasant) truths.
