About This Item
New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A crisp clean first edition (as stated) no markings throughout, not an ex-l ib: Rosenblatt, author of the best-selling Rules for Aging (2000), pays tribute to the U.S. in his latest collection of original essays. In light of the patriotic fervor awakened by the catastrophic events of September 11, the author considered it timely and relevant to illuminate the many unique reasons to praise, support, and love our country. Witty and sobering by turn, these delightful gems never advocate unreflective submission to flag and country; rather, they celebrate the diversity, the opportunity, the eccentricities, the contradictions, and the dreams and realities that combine to make this nation great. Sure to elicit plenty of chuckles, several nods, and a few tears, these essays will appeal to a broad cross-section of readers.
Synopsis
In these 30 essays, Roger Rosenblatt draws on his 27 years of reporting and commenting on America to reaffirm the core values of our complex and wonderful country. Famous for his ability to put wise and important ideas into witty and instructive prose, the prize-winning journalist and commentator provides comfort and resolve for Americans in a time of threat. With his charm and humor, Rosenblatt reminds us of the fundamental political and moral strengths of America. During the last 30 years, Rosenblatt believes, we have been living outside history in a bubble of wealth and power. The events of September 11, 2001, have gives us a chance to reacquaint ourselves with what the country stands for and what it should become. If we have lost our way as a country, it is because we have lost sight of the idealism on which America was founded. The fundamentals of American justice and society are more than America's virtues—they are standards by which a civilization measures its worth.
