From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHunt, Lynn:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLynn Hunt\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Research Professor at UCLA, former president of the American Historical Association, and author of numerous works, including \u003cem\u003eInventing Human Rights\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTelling the Truth about History\u003c\/em\u003e.
