Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Henry Adams (1838-1918) was an American historian, novelist, journalist, and member of one of the most prominent political families in the United States. The grandson of President John Quincy Adams and great-grandson of President John Adams, he grew up with a close awareness of American public life, diplomacy, and political power. Educated at Harvard, Adams served as a private secretary to his father, Charles Francis Adams, during the Civil War, when the elder Adams was United States minister to Britain.Adams later became a respected historian and teacher, serving as a professor at Harvard and writing major works on American history, politics, and culture. His books include History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, and The Education of Henry Adams, the last of which became one of the most celebrated works of American autobiography.As a novelist, Adams brought historical intelligence, social observation, and political skepticism to his fiction. Democracy, first published anonymously, drew on his intimate knowledge of Washington society and remains one of the most enduring American novels about political ambition and moral compromise. His work continues to be valued for its intellectual force, elegant irony, and searching examination of power in modern life.
