The original edition included an additional sixty interviews"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br>First published in 1970, Studs Terkel's bestselling <i>Hard Times</i> has been called "a huge anthem in praise of the American spirit" <i>(Saturday Review)</i> and "an invaluable record" <i>(The New York Times)</i>. With his trademark grace and compassion, Terkel evokes a mosaic of memories from those who were richest to those who were destitute: politicians, businessmen, artists and writers, racketeers, speakeasy operators, strikers, impoverished farmers, people who were just kids, and those who remember losing a fortune. <p/>Now, in a handsome new illustrated edition, a selection of Studs's unforgettable interviews are complemented by images from another rich documentary trove of the Depression experience: Farm Security Administration photographs from the Library of Congress. Interspersed throughout the text of <i>Hard Times</i>, these breathtaking photographs by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Jack Delano, and others expand the human scope of the voices captured in the book, adding a new dimension to Terkel's incomparable volume. <i>Hard Times</i> is the perfect introduction to Terkel's work for new readers, as well as a beautiful new addition to any Terkel library.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A huge anthem in praise of the American spirit.<br><br>Anybody who wants to know where we were and how we got to where we are now-read this book. -- Arthur Miller<br><br>Open [it] to almost any page and rich memories spill out....Read a page, any page.
