The Education of Henry Adams (1918) recounts his own and the country's education from 1838, the year of his birth, to 1905, exploring America as both a success and a failure and voicing his deep scepticism about mankind's power to control the direction of history. Written with immense wit andirony, reassembling the past while glimpsing the future, Adams's vision expresses what Henry James declared the `complex fate' toOxford world's classics (Oxford University Press)HistoriansUnited StatesBiographyHistorians973/.07202BAdams Henry1838-1918.174367Nadel Ira Bruce168995MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781696603321The education of Henry Adams3686219UNINA
