"Immediate and evocative, letters witness and fasten history, catching events as they happen," write Lisa Grunwald and Stephen J. Adler in their introduction to this remarkable book. In more than 400 letters from both famous figures and ordinary citizens, Letters of the Century encapsulates the people and places, events and trends that shaped our nation during the last hundred years. Here is Mark Twain's hilarious letter of complaint to the head of Western Union, an ecstatic letter from a young Charlie Chaplin upon receiving his first movie contract, Einstein's letter to Franklin Roosevelt warning about atomic warfare, Mark Rudd's "generation gap" letter to the president of Columbia University during the student riots of the '60s, and a letter from young Bill Gates imploring hobbyists not to share software so that innovators can make some money. In these pages our century's most celebrated figures become everyday people, and everyday people become part of history. Here is a veteran's wrenching letter left at the Vietnam Wall, a poignant correspondence between two women trying to become mothers, a heartbreaking letter from an AIDS sufferer telling his parents how he wants to be buried, and an indignant e-mail from a PC user to his on-line server. "Letters", write Grunwald and Adler, "give history a voice." Arranged chronologically by decade, illustrated with over a hundred photographs, Letters of the Century creates an extraordinary chronicle of our history through the voices of the men and women who have lived its greatest moments." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition beige boards, black cloth spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped black-and-white photographic dust jacket. Includes Lists of Other Books by Peter Manso; Author Dedication; Contributors; Mailer Family Tree; Acknowledgments; Index and Photo Credits. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "Norman Mailer has dominated the American literary scene since he burst into prominence at the age of twenty -five with the publication of The Naked and the Dead. The author of more than twenty books, including An American Dream, The Armies of the Night, The Executioner's Song, and Ancient Evenings, he is the preeminent novelist of his generation, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a movie director, politician, pugilist, antiwar activist, hipster, philosopher, major cultural force and enfant terrible. The winner of every significant national literary award, never out of the limelight, Mailer has been maligned, loved, hated, belittled, idolized - but never ignored. Now, in a major biography that catches the full range of this extraordinary career, Peter Manso, noted reporter and interviewer for Playboy, presents Mailer in all his complexity and brilliance, in the words of those who have known him. Not since Edie has a book entered so entirely into a life and caught so fully the excitement and atmosphere of a period. Manso weaves together the words and recollections of Mailer's mother, sister, wives, lovers; his colleagues, admirers, detractors, and fellow writers, from James Baldwin and Kurt Vonnegut to E.L. Doctorow and George Plimpton - and, of course, Mailer himself. Among the contributors are William F. Buckley, Lillian Hellman, Allen Ginsberg, Alfred Kazin, Norman Podhoretz, Arthur Schlesinger, Liz Smith, Andy Warhol and Shelley Winters. Here are all the writing, fighting, drinking, brawling, living that have made Mailer a bigger-than-life legend. Manso relates, in the words of those who were there, the story of Mailer's childhood and years at Harvard, and the account of his experience as a foot soldier in World War II, which formed the basis of The Naked and the Dead. Here are the hectic yeare of the 1950s in Greenwich Village, the founding of The Village Voice, the drinking bouts with James Jones and James Baldwin. Manso outlines the wild years of the 1960s, the antiwar movement, the relationship with the Kennedys, the tragic stabbing of Mailer's second wife, and the triumphant publication of The Armies of the Night. The story describes the years in Provincetown, the relationship with Jack Henry Abbott, the publication of The Executioner's Song, and Mailer's return as a major novelist with the controversial best-seller Ancient Evenings. Mailer has stood at the center of the American era since the close of World War II. Manso captures the entire sweep of these tumultuous decades, from the war in the Pacific to the war in Vietnam to the present star wars. Mailer is at once a history of our time and of the protean figure who has presided over it. It is an extraordinary tapestry, a portrait of an era as well as a man. Here, at last, is a biography of Mailer as large and multifarious as its subject - and as overflowing with life. Mailer is a major literary event." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
