A Revolution of One (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798901740736)

Before the 19th century, the Greek word stasis meant sedition. The word revolution did not exist. Exploring the roots of everything he saw around him, James Leaf invites us to consider the origin of art, the uses of conversation, the meaning of solidarity, and the plurality of the self. Beyond the moral passion of dramas he directed, even at his lowest moments, Leaf records feeling "the germ of some stubborn genius."
