THE EDUCATION OF HENRY ADAMS - HENRY ADAMS TASC...

This book edition of THE EDUCATION OF HENRY ADAMS has been formatted to the highest digital
standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Henry Adams (1838-1918) was a member of
the political family founded by John Adams during the American Revolution. While his ambitions
were literary and historical (his major work is a massive history of the United States in the
age of Jefferson)  he was not completely immune from the political life. The Education of Henry
Adams is the Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography of Henry Adams. He recounts the education he
received  lamenting that formal schooling failed to prepare him for a century of technological
and philosophical change. This book is an excellent way to learn about 19th century America 
interestingly he chose the third person to tell his own story The Education is much more a
record of Adams's introspection than of his deeds. It is an extended meditation on the social 
technological  political  and intellectual changes that occurred over Adams's lifetime. Adams
concluded that his traditional education at Harvard failed to help him come to terms with the
rapid changes he saw in his lifetime  hence his need for self-education. Many consider this the
best autobiography ever written.
