About This Item
New York, New York: HarperCollins, 1995. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean, bright, burgundy illustrated wraps, whisper of wear to lower corner, no creases, cover flares up a bit. Tight, solid and square binding. Internals very clean, no markings of any kind, no creases. This book seems to be a narrative of private lives, each chapter beginning with a portrait of a real person, but the author extends this into a universal history, to reveal the real world beneath, the world of memory and inheritance. the value of the experience of previous generations. The author shows how it is possible for individuals to form a fresh view both of their own personal history and of humanity's whole record of cruelty, misunderstanding, and joy. To have a new vision of the future, it has always been necessary to have a new vision of the past--and this is what he explores. An extraordinary book. 488 pages, indexed. 6 x 9.25 inches. 1995, HarperCollins, New York, New York.
