Bücher von Joseph A. Amato

The dynamic Midwestern small town-?from its idyllic beginnings to its imminent decline?explored and celebrated in thirty-four selections of cultural history, fiction, and poetry, both classic and contemporary.

An inquiry into conscience and politics, this text examines fundamental ambiguities, dichotomies and contradictions. The author suggests that humanity should interpret and give meaning to its pains and sufferings. He focuses on the modern mind and the hedonistic society of the 20th century.
