Описание: An epic exploration of who writes about the past and how the biases of certain storytellers--from Julius Caesar to William Shakespeare to Simon Schama--continue to influence our ideas about history (and about who we are) today

There are many stories we can spin about years gone by, but which accounts come to be told, and by whom? A single author can deeply shape our understanding through the prism of his or her own beliefs. In The History Makers, Cohen reveals how professional historians, major novelists, dramatists, journalists, political propagandists, and even the writers of the Bible have and continue to influence the accepted records of human experience. Is there, he asks, even such a thing as objective history? And what is it to call someone a historian in the first place?

A lively tour guide, Cohen leads a delightful inquiry into the published works and private utterances of our greatest historical thinkers to discover the agendas that informed their views of the world, and which in so many ways have informed ours. From the origins of history writing--when such an idea seemed itself revolutionary--to the practitioners of Bad History (those thieves who twist reality to glorify themselves and conceal their own or their countrys behavior), Cohens inquiry takes us all the way up through the digital age and the advent of television.

With captivating figures brought to vivid life, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and Gibbon, from Ulysses Grant and Winston Churchill to Ken Burns and Mary Beard, The History Makers is an unusually authoritative and supremely entertaining volume. Rich in character, complex truths, and surprising anecdotes, the result is a unique exploration of both the aims and craft of history-making that will lead us to think anew about our past and the stories we tell ourselves about it.

Описание: A man falls in love with a woman who exists only in his dreams.

A young couple walks the same street day after day, the husband always talking and the wife-doing what?

An artist sits sketching in the cemetery of a mental hospital, and wishes he'll someday be buried there.

A hopeful businessman opens a shop in a location that is doomed.

A vampire craves, not his victims' blood, but their personalities.

Eighty-nine blog posts, the best of the author's first year in the blogosphere.

Eighty-nine glimpses of life imagined, experienced, felt, cherished, and above all, clearly seen. Here are stories of people yearning for companionship, parables of the unwittingly enlightened and the unknowingly benighted, landscapes of desolate beauty, moments of everyday tenderness and of sudden comic recognition, transcending the line between fiction and nonfiction.

As up-to-date as the blogosphere, yet reaching back for its roots to ancient Taoist tales and medieval Japanese pillow books.

Another step forward in the evolution of 'a spectacular writer, a distinctive voice to be heard" (*The Detroit News*).
