Originally published in 1922 as part of the Cambridge Plain Texts
series, this volume contains five of John Florio's renowned English
translations of Montaigne's essays. The text was largely derived
from the third edition of Florio's 1603 translation, which was
published in 1632. A short editorial introduction is also included.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Montaigne
and Florio.
One Nation Under Baseball highlights the intersection between
American society and America's pastime during the 1960s, when the
hallmarks of the sport-fairness, competition, and mythology-came
under scrutiny. John Florio and Ouisie Shapiro examine the events
of the era that reshaped the game: the Koufax and Drysdale
million-dollar holdout, the encroachment of television on newspaper
coverage, the changing perception of ballplayers from mythic
figures to overgrown boys, the arrival of the everyman Mets and
their free-spirited fans, and the lawsuit brought against team
owners by Curt Flood. One Nation Under Baseball brings to life the
seminal figures of the era-including Bob Gibson, Marvin Miller, Tom
Seaver, and Dick Young-richly portraying their roles during a
decade of flux and uncertainty.
