hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Unclipped. nFirst ed.; 741 p., clean and unmarked anywhere on strong unaged paper--all that keeps this from being "like new" is scarcely perceptible mark on on t.p. and small crease on upper corner of back end page. Binding firm and neither the boards no the postage-stamp motif d.j. has discernible wear. This is a savory collection indeed! Just opening it to a letter from Ernest Hemingway to Scott Fitzgerald you find a description of what Hemingway considers heaven to be and what he imagines hell to be for Fitzgerald and facing that some virtuoso invective from H.L. Mencken concerning the jury at the Scopes trial. Other dips bring up a letter from one of the Jim Jones cult to her parents and one from Katherine Graham to John.…

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Unclipped. First ed., 5th printing; 741 p., clean and unmarked anywhere on strong unaged paper--only tiny spot on t.p. and small crease at upper corner of back end page keep this from being "like new." Binding firm; boards and d.j. are both without discernible wear. Along with momentous letters (JFK letter to Khruschev during the Cuban Missile Crisis; Martin Luther King writing from Birmingham jail; Einstein writing to Roosevelt about developing a nuclear bomb; Nixon's letter of resignation) there are letters that are just savory reading. Dipping idly one finds a letter from Ernest Hemingway to F. Scott Fitzgerald describing his notion of heaven and what he assumes is Fitzgerald's concept of hell--and facing that is some virtuoso invective by H. L. Mencken concerning the jury at the Scopes trial. …

"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.
