POLITICAL EDUCATION, A(ISBN=9781933633152) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

André Schiffrin was born the son of one of France’s most

esteemed publishers, in a world peopled by some of the day’s

leading writers and intellectuals, such as André Gide and Jean-Paul

Sartre. But this world was torn apart when the Nazis marched into

Paris on young André's fifth birthday.

Beginning with the family’s dramatic escape to Casablanca—thanks to

the help of the legendary Varian Fry—and eventually New York, A

POLITICAL EDUCATION recounts the surprising twists and turns of a

life that saw Schiffrin become, himself, one of the world’s most

respected publishers.

Emerging from the émigre community of wartime New York (a community

including Hannah Arendt and Kurt Wolff), he would go on to develop

an insatiable appetite for literature and politics: heading a tiny

student group at Yale that he renamed the Students for a Democratic

Society—the SDS ... leading student groups at European

conferences—once, as an unwitting front man for the CIA ... and

eventually being appointed by Random House chief Bennet Cerf to

head the very imprint co-founded by his father—Pantheon. There, he

would discover and publish some of the world’s leading writers,

including Noam Chomsky, Michel Foucault, Art Spiegelman, and

Marguerite Duras.

Schiffrin would ultimately rebel at corporate ownership and form

his own publishing house—The New Press—where he would go on to set

a new standard for independent publishing.

A POLITICAL EDUCATION is a fascinating intellectual memoir that

tells not only the story of a unique and important figure, but of

the tulutuous political times that shaped him.
