The Mind of a Patriot presents an intellectual life of a major figure who has traditionally been seen as an anti-intellectual -child of nature.- This was the view of Patrick Henry that William Wirt presented in his Life of Henry, and it has pervaded every biography since.

George Washington: A Life in Books
ISBN: 9780190456672 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When it comes to the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton are generally considered the great minds of early America. George Washington, instead, is toasted with accolades regarding his solid common sense and strength in battle. Indeed, John Adams once snobbishly dismissed him as "too illiterate, unlearned, unread for his station and reputation." Yet Adams, as well as the majority of the men who knew Washington in his life, were unaware of his singular devotion to self-improvement. Based on a comprehensive amount of research at the Library of...

He bicycled ever westward through sleepy villages, farmlands, and growing cities of the rapidly changing nation and trekked across uninhabited stretches of prairies and...

Conversations with Jack Kerouac
ISBN: 9781578067565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There are few writers about whom it can be said that they write just like they speak, but Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) is clearly one of them. In 1958, Kerouac was a struggling writer trying to create a new literary aesthetic based on the rhythms of human speech, jazz-based improvisation, autobiography, and American slang. That year saw the publication of his second novel On the Road, which would instantly propel him to fame and ensconce him in the literary establishment. By 1969, he was dead of internal hemorrhaging brought on by excessive drinking. Though his literary reputation may...

ISBN: 9780195307580 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 752 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thomas Jefferson was an avid book-collector, a voracious reader, and a gifted writer--a man who prided himself on his knowledge of classical and modern languages and whose marginal annotations include quotations from Euripides, Herodotus, and Milton.

Hayes fills this important gap by offering a lively account of Jefferson's spiritual and intellectual development, focusing on the books and ideas that exerted the most profound influence on him.
