Synopsis
With breezy wit and literary charm Alex Beam recounts the rise and fall of the "Great Books of the Western World" project, a set of 54 black tomes intended to contain the finest writing and philosophy of Western civilization. Marshaled by Robert Hutchinson and Mortimer Adler, the "Great Books" series went into action in the 1950s with the intention of bringing the words of Aristotle, Shakespeare, Dickens, Darwin, and others into the family home. Meant to be a literary canon for the ages, the project eventually foundered against the countercultural consciousness of the 1960s and beyond. Beam's A GREAT IDEA AT THE TIME skillfully renders the "Great Books" project as the zenith of an earnest yet foolhardy concept of literature as a monolithic and unstoppable progression of knowledge, moving smoothly from antiquity into the future. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

Publisher's Note
A witty history of an unlikely literary fad and an American pop culture phenomenon of the 1950s and early 1960s examines the overwhelming popularity of the Great Books of Western Civilization and how and why they rose to and fell out of fashion.

Industry reviews
"Beam skillfully animates the lives of the academics involved in the venture and provides a brutally funny account of the editorial decisions about which authors to include...."
