The Way of Ignorance (eBook, ePUB)

And Other Essays

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The continuing war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, the political sniping engendered by the Supreme Court nominations-contemporary American society is characterized by divisive anger, profound loss, and danger. Wendell Berry, one of the country's foremost cultural critics, responds with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the "free market" or "free enterprise"? What is really involved in our national security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career.
