Step back in time with Professor Edwin O’Donnell as we explore six innovative decades from the Gilded Age (1865 – 1900) through the Progressive Era (1900-1920). Marked by economic, political, social, and technological upheavals, the U.S. went from an agrarian, isolationist country to the greatest industrial power and a nascent geopolitical superpower.

Friday, February 18th at 10:00am. Nothing enhances attending an author talk more than actually reading and discussing the book before the event. Since local author Julian Sancton is speaking at a Friends of the Larchmont Library event on February 27, Librarian Liam Hegarty will lead a discussion of Madhouse at the End of the Earth. It is a fitting book for the dead of winter as it chronicles the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of the Belgica.

Copies of the book will be on the Book group Shelf under Books with Friends by the end of next week.

It is available to put on hold or download now on Libby.  

Liam will be in the Village Center conducting this program.  You can choose to attend on Zoom or you can come to the Village Center to attend the meeting in person.  Masks are required while attending this program, in the Village Center, and we ask that you please follow all NYS health guidelines

Sunday, February 27th at 4:00 pm. Please join us for a Zoom conversation with Larchmont resident and author Julian Sancton MADHOUSE AT THE END OF THE EARTH: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night. “Exquisitely researched and deeply engrossing” (The New York Times), Madhouse is a true survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly awry—with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter. “Madhouse is that rare non-fiction gem—an obscure but important history transformed by deep research and note-perfect storytelling into a classic thriller.”—Walter Isaacson, author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs.

Sponsored by The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library

Put the book on hold
