Over dit product
Product Information
A Chicago Tribune Noteworthy Book A GoodReads Reader's Choice The summer of 1927 began with Charles Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Babe Ruth was closing in on the home run record. In Newark, New Jersey, Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly sat atop a flagpole for twelve days, and in Chicago, the gangster Al Capone was tightening his grip on bootlegging. The first true "talking picture," Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer , was filmed, forever changing the motion picture industry. All this and much, much more transpired in the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things--and when the twentieth century truly became the American century. One Summer transforms it all into narrative nonfiction of the highest order.

Reviews
"Rollicking, immensely readable. . . . [Bryson's] subject isn't really a year. It's human nature in all its odd and amazing array." -- Chicago Tribune "A wonderful romp . . . . Fascinating. . . . Writ[ten] in a style as effervescent as time itself." -- The New York Times Book Review "Addictively readable." -- The Wall Street Journal "Entertaining. . . . Splendid. . . . Sure to delight." -- Newsday "Marvelous." -- The Huffington Post "Bill Bryson recounts a remarkable period in America's passage. . . . [ One Summer ] captures that fabulous summer--indeed, the entire era--in tone and timbre." -- The Boston Globe "A lively account of 1927's events and its cast of characters, both well known and long forgotten. . . . [Bryson] has a keen eye for amusing and arresting tidbits of information." -- San Francisco Chronicle "The best kind of general-interest book: fun, interesting, and something to learn on every page." -- The Christian Science Monitor "Breezily written, conversational and humorous. . . . [Bryson is] a gifted raconteur." -- The Guardian (London) "Bryson is a marvelous historian, not only exhaustively accurate, but highly entertaining. If you avoid textbook histories because they seem too dry, pick up One Summer , or any other of Mr. Bryson's books. They are intelligent delights." -- The Huffington Post "An entertaining tour through a year of Jazz Age scandal and baseball heroics. . . . Bryson will set you right in this canter through one summer of one year that--once you've turned the final page--will seem more critical to American history than you might have reckoned before." -- Financial Times " One Summer covers an enormous cast of characters that are deeply researched and rendered to entertain. . . . [Bryson] finds the strange trivia and surprising little coincidences that make history fun, and his breezy style and running commentary make for an enjoyable read." -- The Miami Herald "Exuberant. . . . [Bryson] propels his story forward with enviable skill and inexhaustible verve." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London) "Per usual, Bryson writes prose as lucid as a pane of glass. . . . A fun walk through the summer of 1927, with all its zaniness." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Has history ever been so enjoyable? . . . Bill Bryson is a true master of popular narrative. . . . With this book, he proves once again that he is able to juggle any number of different balls . . . and create spellbinding patterns while never letting a single one drop. He is wonderfully adept at the nutshell portrait: indeed, he treats the nutshell like a ballroom, conveying a vast amount in a tiny number of words." -- Daily Mail, "Bryson writes in a style as effervescent as the time itself... A wonderful romp." -- The New York Times "There are two kinds of readers: those who love Bill Bryson and those who haven't met him yet... Colorful, rollicking and sweet, this is Bryson being Bryson. Which is to say: marvelous." -- People "A glorious look at one summer in America...Bryson offers delicious detail and breathtaking suspense about events whose outcomes are already known." -- Booklist , Starred Review "This splendid book, written in the breezy and humorous style that has come to be Bryson's trademark, is sure to delight readers steeped in the history of the period as well as those looking to acquaint themselves with it for the first time." --The Associated Press "Bryson will set you right in this canter through one summer of one year that--once you've turned the final page--will seem more critical to American history than you might have reckoned before... [He] is a master of the sidelong, a man who can turn obscurity into hilarity with seemingly effortless charm--and One Summer is an entertaining addition to a body of work that is at its best when it celebrates the unexpected and the obscure... This is a jolly jalopy ride of a book; Bryson runs down the byways of American history and finds diversion in every roadside stop." -- Financial Times "...Bryson himself is captivated by the events of summer, 1927. And why not? They included Charles Lindbergh's solo flight over the Atlantic, Sacco and Vanzetti's execution, Gutzon Borglum's start on the sculpting of Mt. Rushmore, the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, and Babe Ruth's 60 home runs--all of which Bryson covers in characteristically sparkling prose." -- Publishers Weekly "As a historian, Bryson is the antithesis of stuffy. He's a storyteller, pure and simple, and One Summer is a collection of a great many tales about people and events, centered on (but not limited to) a single season in a single year... Bryson could have written a book just as interesting about the summer of 1949 or 1913. That's because his subject isn't really a year. It's human nature in all its odd and amazing array." -- Chicago Tribune "The book's strength is in showing the overlap of significant events and the interaction of personalities." -- Library Journal "What comes across clearest in Bryson's lucid, lighthearted narrative is the pure energy and crazed optimism of the era. Sure, the rollicking party would end, but it was fun while it lasted--as is Bryson's One Summer ." -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune "... One Summer wins you over by the sheer weigh tof its encyclopedic enthusiasms." -- The Telegraph "Bryson is a marvelous historian, not only exhaustively accurate, but highly entertaining. If you avoid textbook histories because they seem too dry, pick up One Summer , or any other of Mr. Bryson's books. They are intelligent delights." -- Liz Smith, The Huffington Post, "Bryson writes in a style as effervescent as the time itself... A wonderful romp." -- The New York Times "...A skillful lesson on the dynamics and personalities that shaped today's America and on how far the country has evolved from a gaudy era fondly but imperfectly recalled." -- Wall Street Journal "There are two kinds of readers: those who love Bill Bryson and those who haven't met him yet... Colorful, rollicking and sweet, this is Bryson being Bryson. Which is to say: marvelous." -- People "A glorious look at one summer in America...Bryson offers delicious detail and breathtaking suspense about events whose outcomes are already known." -- Booklist , Starred Review "This splendid book, written in the breezy and humorous style that has come to be Bryson's trademark, is sure to delight readers steeped in the history of the period as well as those looking to acquaint themselves with it for the first time." --The Associated Press "Bryson will set you right in this canter through one summer of one year that--once you've turned the final page--will seem more critical to American history than you might have reckoned before...
