Description
GIANTS
(Twelve, $30)
Stauffer, Harvard professor of American Civilization, profiles two of the greatest statesman of the 19th century, President Abraham Lincoln and the writer and activist Frederick Douglass. “Their friendship was chiefly utilitarian: Lincoln needed Douglass to help him destroy the Confederacy; Douglass knew Lincoln could help him end slavery. But they genuinely liked and admired each other.”

More about Politics & Prose
Politics & Prose
Our customers see us as a community center, a notion that we have fostered to the best of our ability. In this increasingly fragmented age people crave public places where they can relax with friends or in solitude. We have consciously attempted to provide this environment through our coffeehouse, and in the store with comfortable chairs for reading and relaxing (which we have provided since we opened fourteen years ago), and especially through our public events. We provide a mix of talks and readings to appeal to old and young, women and men, black and white—some for entertainment and others for raising issues.Post a Countdown Widget
