The Fire Next Time; Nobody Knows My Name ; No Name In The Street; The Devil Finds Work

A major hardcover compendium of nonfiction by one of America's most brilliant essayists, timed to the celebration of his centenary.

Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual—James Baldwin is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This Everyman's Library collection includes his bestselling, galvanising essay The Fire Next Time—which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s and still lights the way to understanding race in America today—along with three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and analyst of culture.

From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies to the passionate, probing, controversial (The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My Name and the incisive criticism of American movies in The Devil Finds Work, Baldwin's stunning prose over and over proves relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality, justice, and social change.
