The Jacques Barzun Centennial

The Jacques Barzun Centennial

This year marks the centennial of one of my favorite literary minds, Dr. Jacques Barzun. I first became acquainted with this polymath when I read his book "From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life". His mind is expansive, fast and his book was the perfect book for fin de siecle America. He is, in every way, a scholar and an intellectual role-model of mine.
