His admirers called him the “Barnum of Books” and the
“Voltaire of Kansas” because of his ability to bring culture
and education to the people. R. Alton Lee brings to life Emanuel
Haldeman-Julius (1889–1951), a writer-publisher-entrepreneur who
was one of America’s most significant publishers and
editorialists of the twentieth century. His company published a
record 500,000,000 copies of 2,580 titles and was second only
to the U.S. Government Printing Office in the quantity of
publications it produced. Lee details Haldeman-Julius’s
family origins in Russia and his formative years in Philadelphia,
where he learned the book trade. As a writer and editor for the
Social Democrat, Sunday Call, and Western Comrade, Haldeman-Julius
was already well known by the time he launched his own publishing
company. Haldeman-Julius knew, was nurtured by, and published
writers such as Jack London, Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, Emma
Goldman, H. L. Mencken, Carl Sandburg, Eugene V.
Debs, Clarence Darrow, Job Harriman, Will Durant, and
Bertrand Russell, among others. Based in Girard, Kansas, his
company, Haldeman-Julius Publications, covered socialist politics,
the philosophy of free thought, and both new and classic books
marketed to ordinary Americans, including the Little Blue Book
series of classics in Western thought and literature.
This
biography of the enigmatic and energetic Haldeman-Julius opens a
window into the fascinating world of early twentieth-century
radical politics and publishing.
