Recenzje

This book combines family memoirs, an account of Jewish integration in Italy and the United States, an account of successful immigration, of the formation of a famous intellectual, of a piece of history of a renowned American university, and an investigation into American legal culture...The reader can learn the extraordinary story of adapting a family to a different environment; about how "trespassing" between scientific disciplines can produce invaluable results; about how to teach, to manage a faculty and argue in court; about the importance of the mastering legal theory. All this is told with great sincerity, making frequent use of anecdotes and narration of what happens behind the scenes-all this with the depth and richness of observations of a book of philosophy and a study of sociology.
