À propos de cet audio

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West—and Britain—today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

This book is a signal to the youth, and not so young to wake up from their slumber of criticism and denouncing of the west. All of your luxuries not matter how small are gifts the west and it’s culture have given you.
Continue to strive for progress but pulling the bricks of the foundation you stand on is not a winning solution.

Wake up call

Finally, someone who's brave enough, educated, articulate and able to give a fact based explanation/treatise of what's really going on in the world. Well written and performed, a "must-read."

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

this is very interesting, I feel like that I can see the logic in 99% of what you have said in this book. however I can no longer bite my tongue, for this 1% is a topic I feel very passionate about and that is that pizza hut is not shit, it's the best and for that I give you 1☆. good day sir.

Brilliant book. Reality check for everyone who thinks the West is the most racist and unfair society, and capitalism is evil.

Reality check

I don't have any major criticisms of this book. However, it didn't deeply move me although it does tackle profound issues. Regardless, I see this book as a casual conversation between friends. I appreciated the humor and the author's insights, particularly his experiences under Soviet rule, which resonated with my own background as an immigrant escaping the oppression of the Islamic Republic of Iran. As someone who came to the West seeking freedom of expression, I'm concerned to see it drifting away from the liberties many hold dear. I hope books like this serve as a wake up call.

The last chapter alone is worth the read / listen. Devastating. Unquestionable. Konstantin is making a much needed positive difference in this world and I couldn’t be more grateful for him.

Devastatingly good

Well written. Exactly the way my thoughts always were. Many don't realise the good things western values offer. Less ugly among more uglier options.

A great exploration of the different forces that are undermining western culture and what we can do to protect the best way of life we’ve found so far in human history. Thank you Konstantine for having the courage to speak up and express your unique point of view!
