Cleopatra’s Nose (Audiobook)

Publisher: Bl-c-st-ne | 1995 | English | ISBN: 0786106719 | MP3@48 kbps | 5 hrs 54 mins | 122.46 Mb

The amusingly cryptic title of Boorstin’s rigorous essay collection comes from a line of Pascal’s: “Cleopatra’s nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed.” This observation appeals to Boorstin’s penetrating sense of history and of “the crucial role of the accidental and the trivial.”
