Krátky popis
Longlisted for the 2021 National Book Award for Nonfiction The Cold
War was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, in
the broadest sense - economic and political, artistic and personal.
In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar and
critic Louis Menand tells the story of American culture in the
pivotal years from the end of World War II to Vietnam and stresses
the rich flow of ideas across the Atlantic.How did elitism and an
anti-totalitarian scepticism of passion and ideology give way to a
new sensibility defined by experimentation and loving the Beatles?
How was the ideal of 'freedom' applied to causes that ranged from
anti-communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-creation
via art and even crime? With the wit and insight familiar to
readers of The Metaphysical Club, Menand takes us inside Hannah
Arendt's Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de
Beauvoir and the post-war vogue for French existentialism,
structuralism and post-structuralism. He also shows how Europeans
played a vital role in promoting and influencing American art and
thought, revealing how America's once neglected culture became
respected and adored. With unprecedented verve and range, this book
offers a masterly account of the main characters and minor figures
who played part in shaping the post-war world of art and thought.
