The reports of Eichmann's trial were originally printed in The New Yorker in 1963. Day after day, Ardent patiently observed Eichmann during that trial, and observed not an inhuman monster, but another ordinary man---nightmarishly ordinary--whose conscience had simply ''stopped working.''

The space separating an Eichmann from a Perlasca (see The Banality of Goodness) is terrifyingly thin, as substantial yet indenfinable as a human will, a human decisi...

ISBN-13: 9780394702865

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

The theme of this extraordinary book is the evolution of the modern conception of family life and the modern image; of the nature of children. Aries traces the evolution of the concept of childhood from the end of the Middle Ages, when the child was regarded as a small adult, to the present child-centered society, by means of diaries, paintings, games, and school curricula. Ironically, he finds that individualism, far from triumphing in our time, has been held in check by the family, and that the increasing power of the tightly-knit family circle has flourished at the expense of the rich-text...

Condition: New

A unique, in-depth view of Victorian London during the record-breaking summer of 1858, when residents both famous and now-forgotten endured "The Great Stink" together While 1858 in London may have been noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River, the year is otherwise little remembered. And yet, historian Rosemary Ashton reveals in this compelling microhistory, 1858 was marked by significant, if unrecognized, turning points. For ordinary people, and also for the rich, famous, and powerful, the months from May to August turned out to be a ...
