LENIN IN ZURICH , by Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, Translated by H.T.
Willetts. Farrar, Straus and Giroux,
$8.95
Lenin In Zurich chronicles Lenin 's
frustrating exile in SWitzerland, from his
arrest in Cracow and subsequent flight to
Zurich at the outbreak of World War I, to
his departure for Russia in 1917 .
Solzhenitsyn examines the private man
as well as the familiar public figure , con–
centrating on facets of Lenin's personal·
ity and behavior that have been glossed
over in most other accounts. Solzhenit–
syn has set himself the task of establish–
ing the truth of Russia's early revolution–
ary years and of probing the character of
the man who had such an indelible impact
on his country's fate .
BEGINNINGS, by Edward Said. Basic
Books,
$15.95
The quest for an understanding of
what it means to "begin" takes Edward
Said through the masterworks of Western
literature, to the cyclical philosophy of
Vico (whose thought has never before
been so tellingly linked to contemporary
consciousness) and on to what is certain·
Iy the most brilliant explication of postwar
French criticism and philosophy yet
written, offering illuminating explications
of Levi-Strauss's structuralism , Foucault's
archeology, and Derrida's philosophy of
writing .
STRUCTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, VOL–
UME II, by Claude Levi-Strauss, trans–
lated by Monique Layton. Basic Books,
$17.50
In this long-awaited Volume II of his
Structural Anthropology Levi -Strauss
focuses on such important topics as:
comparative religion as it relates to non–
literate peoples; how myths die ; struc–
turalism and literary criticism ; urban
civilization and mental health ; the foun –
ders of modern cultural study such as
Rousseau and Durkheim ; and his own
reflections on kinship ; the future of art;
and race in history .
SCHOOLING IN CAPITALIST AMERICA,
by Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis.
Basic Books,
$13.95
The authors (two of the nation's most
respected radical economists) hold in this
book that our educational system has not
in the past, and does not now, provide
equality of opportunity for human devel–
opment. The present function of the
schools is not to reform society but to
reinforce it by producing the inequities
which sustain it. Equality of opportunity
will never be offered by our educational
institutions, the authors assert, unless the
inherently unequal structure of the capi–
talist economy of which it is an integral
part, is abandoned.
