| |  | | | From The Publisher
As a journalist, historian, and novelist born into a distinguished family that included two past presidents of the United States, Henry Adams was inescapably a part of the American experience. The Education of Henry Adams (1918) recounts his own and the country's development from 1838, the year of his birth, to 1905, and became an immediate bestseller, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1919. The Civil War, economic expansion, and the growth of the United States are among its subjects, as well as his own 'dynamic theory of history'.
| | | | Annotation
Writing from his unique perspective, Henry Adams turned a sharp eye on himself and the tumultuous age in which he lived.

A very good book
-- A reviewer, a high schooler, June 2, 2002
Also Recommended: The Agony and the Ecstasy (this also shows in a less philosophical way the development of a person very different from Adams - Michelangelo), Dr. Zhivago, Great Expectations, 1984,
| | | | The Reader's Catalog
A classic autobiography with an ironic analysis of the culture that formed this scion of a distinguished American family

The pleasure of reading the Education is the pleasure of reading a work of literature made up, literally, from historical facts: History - the world of record - is recast as individual experience and speculation. It is the pleasure of seeing history come alive, of seeing it move, of seeing behind history to the actions and actors. It is the pleasure of seeing revealed the humanity so often concealed in history; the humanity, as we like to think, that explains history; the humanity that at least embodies history and often is all that can believably document history. —Alfred Kazin
The pleasure of reading The Education is the pleasure of seeing history come alive. —Alfred Kazin
