Education of Henry Adams

The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.

Educatia lui Henry Adams consemneaza lupta lui Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), la o varsta frageda, pentru a se impaca cu inceputul secolului al XX-lea, atat de diferit de lumea tineretii sale. Este, de asemenea, o critica ascutita a teoriei si practicii educationale din secolul al XIX-lea.
