About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2002. First Edition. First Printing. very good, very good. 341, minor wear, soiling, and sticker residue to DJ. One man's post-retirement passion for the works of history's greatest literary genius becomes an inspiring intellectual and spiritual adventure, and a lesson in the ageless wisdom to be found in literature. In the twilight of a successful career as a book editor, Herman Gollob attended a superb Broadway production of Hamlet with Ralph Fiennes. The experience proved so galvanizing that it ignited a latent passion for literary scholarship and for all things Shakespearean. The publishing guru who edited Donald Barthelme and other important writers shares the emotional reawakening he experienced by re-reading Shakespeare.
