Terkel, Studs Coming of Age ; The Story of Our Century by Those Who'Ve Lived It
New Pr 1995 First - First Edition; Third Pri Hardcover As New fine Hardcover
As New in Fine dust jacket; Book has no flaws. Dust jacket has slight wrinkle at bottom of front panel.. 1565842847 . Collection of oral histories on what The Old can still teach The Young. One of Studs Terkel's finest achievements. The true first. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. "Youth is wasted on the young. Likewise, it could be said that old age is wasted on a younger generation with no sense of the past and willfully ignorant of wisdom accumulated by years of experience. To reclaim our lost sense of history and to renew respect for our elders, Terkel interviewed 69 individuals who have come of age in the latter part of the 20th century. The youngest is 70, the oldest, 99. Some are well-known: Artist Jacob Lawrence, actress Uta Hagen, economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Others live out of the limelight: A farm workers' organizer, a retired bank president, a librarian. But they all cling to life tenaciously and courageously, acting as living repositories of our past, our history" (Library Journal). In its hard-earned wisdom, this is Terkel at his very best. ; 1.73 x 9.13 x 6.46 Inches; 494 pages;

Terkel, Studs Talking to Myself ; A Memoir of My Times
Galahad Books 1979 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jack Hardcover
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 0394411021 . Studs Terkel offers us an autobiography as much of our times as of himself. This is the story of a man whose long life has been so vivid that its telling mirrors the events of our century. From Mahalia Jackson to Bertrand Russell, from Martin Luther King, Jr to Federico Fellini, Terkel has met many of the most important figures of the 20th century and captured their voices for us. "A magnificent book. It's a privilege to share Studs Terkel's experiences. Few autobiographies have been as equally moving and funny as this one" (Nora Sayre). An incomparable record of a tumultuous and crucial time. In this book Terkel uses some of the methods that have made his radio programs famous; he cuts from a visit to Chief Luthuli in South Africa to a memoir of the McCarthy period, from growing up among the petty gangsters of Chicago in the thirties to confronting the bigger political gangsters of the sixties, from acting in radio soap operas to discussing films with Fellini. ; 316 pages; In Talking to Myself, Pulitzer Prizing-winning author Studs Terkel offers us an autobiography for our times--the stirring story of a man whose life has been so vivid that its telling mirrors the events of our century. From Mahalia Jackson to Bertrand Russell, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Frederico Fellini, Studs has met them all and captured their voices for us. With the addition of a marvelous new postscript, Talking to Myself is as enjoyable now as when it was first published--a work that is as unusual as it is compelling. .
