Recenzii
"That famous alcove at the City College of New York where, in the 1930s, students met and argued the merits of Marx, chose between Trotsky and Stalin, pondered the future of socialism, and laid the intellectual foundations for the second half of the 20th century, is restored in this remarkable collection. The names are familiar--Sidney Hook, Alfred Kazin, Irving Kristol, Hannah Arendt, Dwight Macdonald, Paul Goodman, Lionel Trilling, Clement Greenberg, Norman Podhoretz, etc.--and the subjects remain contentious and pertinent. Neil Jumonville, a historian at Florida State, provides the pertinent biographical data, and completes the definitive portrait of these remarkable essayists, to whom we are all indebted." -- Philip Terzian, The Weekly Standard, June 25, 2007 - July 2, 2007, BOOKS & ARTS Vol. 12 No. 39

Descriere
In the early 1930’s in a small alcove at City College in New York a group of young, passionate, and politically radical students argued for hours about the finer points of Marxist doctrine, the true nature of socialism, and whether or not Stalin or Trotsky was the true heir to Lenin. These young intellectuals, including Alfred Kazin, Mary McCarthy, Hannah Arendt and Lionel Trilling among others, went on to write for and found some of the most well known political and literary journals of the 20th century. The New York Intellectuals Reader presents selections from this vibrant group of political thinkers and writers, committed to addressing the most important political, social, and cultural questions of the day.
