Descripción Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 566 pages. Unique, brilliantly-executed and sure to spark con troversy and debate about our past as well as our future, HUMAN S MOKE powerfully illustrates the world's gradual and horrifying ad vance towards World War II and the Holocaust. Were the voices of the time predicting its inevitability? Meticulously researched an d incredibly well-documented, Nicholson Baker uses sources includ ing newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts, memoirs an d diaries to juxtapose hundreds of interrelated moments of decisi on, brutality, suffering and mercy - all cleverly structured in a series of powerful vignettes. Questioning the much-romanticised myths of the 1930s and '40s, Baker shows us that it was thanks in part to Churchill that Mussolini ascended to power so quickly, a nd that, before leading the United States against Nazi Germany, a young FDR spent much of his time lobbying for a restriction in t he number of Jews admitted to Harvard. Conversely, HUMAN SMOKE al so reminds us of those who had the foresight to anticipate the co ming bloodshed and the courage to oppose the tide of history, as Gandhi demonstrated when he made his symbolic walk to the ocean - for which he was immediately imprisoned by the British. Praised by critics and readers alike for his exquisitely observant eye an d deft, inimitable prose, Nicholson Baker has assembled a narrati ve within HUMAN SMOKE that unfolds gracefully, tragically and per suasively. An utterly compelling account of the sickening loss hu manity has borne at its own hand which poses the question: Are we going down the same path again?. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2140y
