Little Herr Friedmann And Other Stories
A selection of work taken from his highly acclaimed collection Stories of a Lifetime by one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century.

Damaged Goods
Woodstock Nation, 1969. Apollo Mission to the Moon. Chappaquiddick. Moratorium Day in Washington. My Lai. The draft lottery. New York beats Baltimore in football, baseball, basketball. Nehru jackets are out. Virginity is still in. Insulated in exotic Crown Heights, Jason Kole is in heaven. Safe from his draft board in seminary, comfortable in graduate school, he is busy applying his religious education to undoing religious girls. Once an Orthodox girl has permitted the very first touch, the only other boundary is to allow everything. But between those perimeters, ah, between those borders, lies the paradise of the semi-righteous. Jason is ready to taste forbidden foods, to ride in a car on t...

From Beirut to Jerusalem
This revised edition of the number-one bestseller and winner of the 1989 National Book Award includes the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's new, updated epilogue. One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East, From Beirut to Jerusalem remains vital to our understanding of this complex and volatile region of the world. Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman drew upon his ten years of experience reporting from Lebanon and Israel to write this now-classic work of journalism. In a new afterword, he updates his journey with a fresh discussion of the Arab Awakenings and how they are transforming the area, and a new look at relations between Israelis and Palestinians, and Israelis and Israelis. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, From Beirut to Jerusalem will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come. "If you're only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it."--Seymour M. Hersh
Summary of Thank You for Being Late
New York Times columnist Thomas L Friedman's latest book, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations, brings the readers into a typical globe-spanning Friedmanesque journey of insights, ideas, and people of different perspectives and nationalities, but all supporting in some way the author's central theme: The world's modernization is accelerating at a full speed, and that is okay, as long as we all keep moving.
