Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Endowed Lecture
Co-sponsored by the American Philosophical Society Museum
Adam Gopniks Angels and Ages is a study of the cultural impact of Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. Time magazine calls the book "a succinct, convincing, and moving account of how two men ripped mankind out of its past unreason and thrust it into a more enlightened age." Gopnik appears at the Free Library to speak of these celebrated thinkers--who were born on the same day in 1809--on the 150th anniversary (to the day) of the publication of On the Origin of Species. A contributor to the New Yorker for more than two decades, Gopnik is a three-time recipient of the National Magazine Award.
