The Education of Henry Adams
Trade Paperback
The Education of Henry Adams, written by America s greatest historian and heir to America s first political family, was greeted on its posthumous release as the finest of American autobiographies. For a century it has been routinely characterized as one of world literature s extraordinary life narratives. However, The Education isn t truly a work of autobiography. It is a meditation on a life formed by a family tradition that wraps itself around a cultural critique of the age, and around speculations on a philosophy of history.
