297735A Student of Historyhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/9173ee3b-70f6-35f8-8a0a-c9c8cd0c36f8/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1611091/6691796b-704e-4a8a-be67-c8510d0670dc.jpg?v=638338468989970000387387MXNRecorded Books, Inc.InStock/Audiolibros/<p>A contemporary Los Angeles story of uncrossable social lines, allegiance and betrayal, immeasurable power, and the ways the present is continually shaped by the past. Rick Nagano is a graduate student in the history department at USC, struggling to make rent on the South Los Angeles apartment near the neighborhood where his family once lived. When he lands a job as a research assistant for the elderly Mrs. W--, the heir to an oil fortune, he sees it at first simply as a source of extra cash. But as he grows closer to the iconoclastic, charming, and feisty Mrs. W--, he gets drawn into a world of privilege and wealth far different from his racially mixed, blue-collar beginnings. Putting aside his half-finished dissertation, Rick sets up office in Mrs. W--s grand Bel Air mansion and begins to transcribe her journals--which document an old Los Angeles not described in his history books. He also accompanies Mrs. W-- to venues frequented by the descendants of the land and oil barons who built the city. One evening, at an event, he meets Fiona Morgan--the elegant scion of an old steel family--who takes an interest in his studies. Irresistibly drawn to Fiona, he agrees to help her with a project of questionable merit in the hopes hell win her favor. The Student of History explores both the beginnings of Los Angeles and present-day dynamics of race and class. It offers a window into the usually hidden world of high society, and the influence of historic families on current events. Like Great Expectations and The Great Gatsby, it features, in Rick Nagano, a young man of modest means who is navigating a world where he doesnt belong. Set in a modern-day Los Angeles thats both familiar and unknown, The Student of History is a story of uncrossable social lines, allegiance and betrayal, immeasurable power, and the ways the present is continually shaped by the past.</p>...295546A Student of History387387https://www.gandhi.com.mx/9173ee3b-70f6-35f8-8a0a-c9c8cd0c36f8/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1611091/6691796b-704e-4a8a-be67-c8510d0670dc.jpg?v=638338468989970000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20199781980007395_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9781980007395_<p>A contemporary Los Angeles story of uncrossable social lines, allegiance and betrayal, immeasurable power, and the ways the present is continually shaped by the past.
