In den WarenkorbTaschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Now in paperback, the 'illuminating, engaging and absorbing' (BookPage, starred review) history of thirteen books that defined a nation.Surprising and delightfully engrossing, Americanon explores the true history of thirteen of the nation's most popular books. Overlooked for centuries, our simple dictionaries, spellers, almanacs, and how-to manuals are the unexamined touchstones for American cultures and customs. They sold tens of millions of copies and set out specific archetypes for the ideal American, from the self-made entrepreneur to the humble farmer.Americanon looks at old favorites in an entirely new way, books like the Old Farmer's Almanac; Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book; Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography; How to Win Friends and Influence People; Webster's Dictionary; and Emily Post's Etiquette. Taken together, these ubiquitous texts help us understand how their authors, most of them part of a powerful minority, attempted to construct meaning for the majority. Their beliefs and quirks-as well as personal interests, prejudices, and often strange personalities-informed the values and habits of millions of Americans, woven into our cultural DNA over generations of reading and dog-earing. Yet their influence remains uninvestigated. Until now.What better way to understand a people than to look at the books they consumed most, the ones they returned to repeatedly, with questions about everything from spelling to social mobility to sex This 'distinctive and engaging' (Library Journal) work is American history as you've never encountered it before.

In den WarenkorbBuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An elegant, meticulously researched, and eminently readable history of the books that define us as Americans. For history buffs and book-lovers alike, McHugh offers us a precious gift. Jake Halpern, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestsellingauthor With her usual eye for detail and knack for smart storytelling, Jess McHugh takes a savvy and sensitive look at the 'secret origins' of the books that made and defined us. . . . You won't want to miss a one moment of it. Brian Jay Jones, author of Becoming Dr. Seuss and the New York Times bestselling Jim HensonThe true, fascinating, and remarkable history of thirteen books that defined a nation Surprising and delightfully engrossing, Americanon explores the true history of thirteen of the nation s most popular books. Overlooked for centuries, our simple dictionaries, spellers, almanacs, and how-to manuals are the unexamined touchstones for American cultures and customs. These books sold tens of millions of copies and set out specific archetypes for the ideal American, from the self-made entrepreneur to the humble farmer. Benjamin Franklin s Autobiography, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Webster's Dictionary, Emily Post s Etiquette: Americanon looks at how these ubiquitous books have updated and reemphasized potent American ideals about meritocracy, patriotism, or individualism at crucial moments in history. Old favorites like the Old Farmer s Almanac and Betty Crocker s Picture Cook Book are seen in this new way not just as popular books but as foundational texts that shaped our understanding of the American story. Taken together, these books help us understand how their authors, most of them part of a powerful minority, attempted to construct meaning for the majority. Their beliefs and quirks as well as personal interests, prejudices, and often strange personalities informed the values and habits of millions of Americans, woven into our cultural DNA over generations of reading and dog-earing. Yet their influence remains uninvestigated--until now. What better way to understand a people than to look at the books they consumed most, the ones they returned to repeatedly, with questions about everything from spelling to social mobility to sex.
