Об авторе

Об авторе книги Асторы. Расцвет и падение американской династии

Андерсон Купер и Кэтрин Хау, авторы бестселлеров New York Times и историки, совместно написали книгу «Асторы: Взлет и падение американского состояния» (Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune) — тщательно проработанное исследование богатства, власти и наследия в американской истории.

Купер, лауреат премии «Эмми», ведущий CNN и журналист, привносит в повествование о высшем обществе личный взгляд, будучи сыном Глории Вандербильт и потомком семьи Астор. Хау, писательница и историк со степенью доктора философии в области исследований Америки и Новой Англии, привносит свой опыт вплетения архивных деталей в захватывающее повествование.

Их предыдущая совместная работа, «Вандербильты: Взлет и падение американской династии» (Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty) — исчерпывающий отчет о прославленной семье Купера — заложила основу для этого исследования влияния Асторов на капитализм и культуру. Карьера Купера охватывает новаторские репортажи о мировых событиях для CNN и программы «60 минут», в то время как работы Хау, включая «Книгу тайн Деливеранс Дэйн» (The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane), сочетают в себе научную строгость с повествовательным мастерством.

Вместе их книги стали обязательным чтением о династиях «Позолоченного века», получив признание за сочетание академической глубины с доступной прозой. «Асторы» продолжают их традицию раскрытия человеческих драм, стоящих за легендарными американскими состояниями.
