Mortals and Others by Bertrand Russell - 9781138131484

Taylor & Francis

Between 1931 and 1935, Bertrand Russell contributed some 156 essays to the literary pages of the American newspaper New York American. These were often fun, humorous observations on the very real issues of the day, such as the Depression, the rise of Nazism and Prohibition, to more perennial themes such as love, parenthood, education and friendship. Available for the first time in the Routledge Classics series in a single volume, this pithy, provocative and often-personal collection of essays brings together the very best of Russell\u2019s many contributions to the New York American, and proves just as engaging for today\u2019s readers as they were in the 1930s. \n > Introduction Volume 1: Preface On Jealously 2.
