The Oxford Book of Ages. A Kaleidoscope of Opinions About Every Age of Life From Birth to 100

Great Britain: Oxford University Press, 1988. Paperback. This original anthology brings together the wit and wisdom of some of the more remarkable figures on the social scene, past and present, to reveal a kaleidoscope of opinions about every age of life from birth to 100. We ritually celebrate each passing year on our birthday, and as we grow from childhood to young adulthood, from middle age to old age, we often pause to reflect on our achievements or aspirations, on what it means to be a certain age. If you want to find your experiences hsared, or your fears or hopes for the future confirmed, turn to any age for profound truths and ironic observations expressed by people as diverse as Cicero and Ogden Nash, Picasso and Mozart, Goethe and Churchill, and Charlotte Bronte and Gertrude Stein. After reading these pages you may be encouraged to proclaim your age - or hide it. Whatever you decide, you will know you are in good company. 202 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). . 1st Oxford University Press Edition.
