Publisher Description: The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also... A second read 66 years later. A. Difficult read, challenging even with the trappings of a liberal education. Like Adams, I find myself mired in the previous century. Impressive prescience as he ponders millennia of human history and a century of politics and science. |
