Mortals and Others, Volume II - American Essays 1931-1935 (Paperback)


""Every man would like to be God, if it were possible; some few find it difficult to admit the impossibility.""
--Bertrand Russell
From 1931-1935 Bertrand Russell was one of the regular contributors to the literary pages of the "New York American," together with other distinguished authors, such a Aldous Huxley, Vita Sackville -West and Robert Benchley. "Mortals and Others" Volume II presents a selection of his essays from this journal provocative in content and clear in style. Even though written in the politically heated climate of the 1930s, these essays are surprisingly topical and engaging in the present. This volume, together with Volume I, serves as a splendid introduction to the wide-ranging scope of the mind of this erudite and witty author.
