House of Intellect

"In an age flooded by books giving us the answer to the weaknesses of American culture, it is a relief to have Jacques Barzun's brilliant and modest book. We cannot be beyond hope if one of us, in a position of Mr. Barzun's dignity and power, can still be so ruthless, so honest and so precise in attack. This book--the most important critique of American culture in many years--is itself one of the most encouraging symptoms of recent American thought."Barzun, Jacques is the author of 'House of Intellect', published 2002 under ISBN 9780060102302 and ISBN 0060102306.
