Este autor profundiza en las vidas de figuras influyentes, examinando cómo la guerra inspira y destruye, une y divide. Su obra explora no solo amistades y carreras turbulentas, sino también el complejo tapiz de las relaciones humanas y las influencias sociales. Investiga cómo los individuos encuentran aventura, mujeres y una causa en medio del conflicto, mientras que otros perciben solo opresión y futilidad. El estilo distintivo del autor da vida a la historia, descubriendo las intrincadas motivaciones psicológicas que impulsan tanto las conexiones personales como la creación literaria.
The story of the close yet volatile friendship between John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway...[A] lively biography of their relationship...A welcome new look at Dos Passos and another sad chapter in the life of Hemingway. -Kirkus Reviews
In nineteenth-century industrial America, while Carnegie provided the steel, Rockefeller the oil, Morgan the money, and Vanderbilt the railroads, Pulitzer ushered in the modern mass media. James McGrath Morris chronicles the epic story of Joseph Pulitzer, a Jewish Hungarian immigrant who amassed great wealth and extraordinary power during his remarkable rise through American politics and journalism. Based on years of research and newly discovered documents, Pulitzer is a classic, magisterial biography. It is a gripping portrait of the media baron who transformed American journalism into a medium of mass consumption and immense influence, and of the grueling legal battles he endured for freedom of the press that changed the landscape of American newspapers and politics.
