James McGrath Morris

    Questo autore approfondisce le vite di figure influenti, esaminando come la guerra ispira e distrugge, unisce e divide. Il suo lavoro esplora non solo amicizie e carriere turbolente, ma anche il complesso arazzo delle relazioni umane e delle influenze sociali. Indaga su come gli individui trovano avventura, donne e una causa nel bel mezzo del conflitto, mentre altri percepiscono solo oppression e futilità. Lo stile distintivo dell'autore dà vita alla storia, scoprendo le intricate motivazioni psicologiche che guidano sia le connessioni personali che la creazione letteraria.

      In nineteenth-century industrial America, while Carnegie provided the steel, Rockefeller the oil, Morgan the money, and Vanderbilt the railroads, Pulitzer ushered in the modern mass media. James McGrath Morris chronicles the epic story of Joseph Pulitzer, a Jewish Hungarian immigrant who amassed great wealth and extraordinary power during his remarkable rise through American politics and journalism. Based on years of research and newly discovered documents, Pulitzer is a classic, magisterial biography. It is a gripping portrait of the media baron who transformed American journalism into a medium of mass consumption and immense influence, and of the grueling legal battles he endured for freedom of the press that changed the landscape of American newspapers and politics.
