Review: Brauchte das Buch für die Uni und glücklicherweise war es schneller da als erwartet:) Manche Essays sind ganz interessant, andere schwer zu verstehen. Aber wer gerne englische Essays liest: nur zu;)
Review: Excellent compilation and variety of essays. The best collection I have come by so far! From Stickeen by John Muir to Corn Pone Opinions by Mark Twain, this is an excellent selection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***D on 26 March 2011*

These are remarkable essays -- from Jane Addams' insightful account of how the devil baby notion thrives among women whose hard lives make them seek some sense of justice or retribution to aching accounts of growing up black in racist America. And many more. They are great reading for the times when you only have a short time to read, and they engage you completely. And they stay with you. Bravo to the editors.
