Confessions Of Original Sinner by John Lukacs
In this 'autohistory,' John Lukacs, distinguished historian and writer, describes the history of his own convictions and beliefs. The journey takes us from the Hungary of the 1930s and the ravaged Budapest of World War II to Lukacs's flight to the New World, his forays into American intellectual life, and finally his settling in Philadelphia.
".. beautifully written, full of trenchant observations, and - once you break through the solemn wrappings of the introduction - exceedingly funny.... His 'confessions' give the reader an experience rather akin to gazing at a brilliant stained-glass window only to discover a small hilarious cartoons worked out in the corners. Do not neglect the footnotes. They are as entertaining as the main text." - 'New York Times Book Review "He is an often witty and always fascinating - even entertaining writer." - 'Washington Post' "....a superb guidebook to a rich intellect." - 'Wall Street Journal'
