An extraordinary tapestry, Ragtime captures the spirit of America in the era between the turn of the century and the First World War.<br><br>The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disappears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence.<br><br>The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. 551195 book 1975 Ragtime: A Novel total:4363|5:1158|4:1769|3:1105|2:252|1:79| 4363 16764 5751 374 3 2 false false Sat Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 21:20:04 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 14:00:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Sep 05 07:35:24 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 18 05:53:54 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 05 06:29:54 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 06:30:51 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Fri Feb 08 16:03:10 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 16:34:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Jul 18 13:45:35 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 13:46:08 -0700 2008 در این کتاب نویسنده آمیخته ای از اتفاقات و شخصیت های واقعی آمریکا در حوالی سالهای 1975 رو با شخصیت ها و اتفاقهای رمان �...more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1979 Wed Apr 09 15:06:47 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 08:49:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false true Sat Mar 01 10:37:26 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 02 11:52:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 1 false false Wed May 09 05:56:36 -0700 2007 Thu May 31 11:27:15 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Apr 25 20:53:53 -0700 2007 Wed Apr 25 21:02:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Oct 07 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jan 29 09:54:56 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 08 13:56:08 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1982 Wed Jan 07 20:14:49 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 20:24:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 15:10:28 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 15:28:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Aug 19 02:40:08 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 02:40:55 -0700 2009
