Arrived Lausanne

Dit werk heeft de pretentie non-fictie te zijn, in werkelijkheid heeft het meer van een roman met fictieve gesprekken en misschien zelfs personen. ( )

It's not the stories of the Wall Street tycoons which will resonate with you, but the stories of the ordinary mailman, and young newly weds whose lives are forever changed in the Midwest. It feels more like a soap opera than a history lesson, but surely this book deserves more attention then it receives. I passed it on to a friend, and already a list of 10 people are waiting to read this sad tale. ( )

3300. The Day the Bubble Burst: A Social History of the Wall Street Crash of 1929, by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts (read Mar. 25, 2000) I liked these authors' Pontiff, so thought I would read this 1979 book of theirs. The final chapters are quite good, but the authors write down to their readers something awful. ( )
