This speaking engagement has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. There will not be a re-scheduled date. On a memorable day in human history, February 12, 1809, two babies were born an ocean apart: Abraham Lincoln in a one-room Kentucky log cabin; Charles Darwin on an English country estate. Searching for the men behind the icons of emancipation and evolution, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik will discuss his book Angels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life. Hear about their captivating lives, Lincoln and Darwin as they really were: family men and social climbers; ambitious manipulators and courageous adventurers; the living husband, father, son, and student behind each myth.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
