Intellectuals - Johnson, Paul

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to edges; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; Paul Johnson examines whether intellectuals are morally fit to give advice to humanity. In essence, do their private practices match the standard of their public principles? Rousseau, Shelley, Marx, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Bertand Russell, Brecht, Sartre, Edmund Wilson, Victor Gollancz, Lillian Hellman, Cyril Connolly, Norman Mailer, Kenneth Tynan and many others are put under the spotlight. With wit brilliance, Johnson exposes these intellectuals, and questions whether ideas should ever be valued more than individuals.
