In the first episode of our new series on the Ideas Behind American Elections, David and historian Gary Gerstle explore the presidential contest of 1800: scurrilous, complicated, game changing. How did it help create the American party system? Was it really democratic? What would have happened if Aaron Burr had won? Plus, just how accurate is the depiction of the election in Hamilton the musical?

As cidades brasileiras são um campo em disputa — e se é na dimensão urbana que ocorrem muitas das opressões e preconceitos, também é nela que a população se organiza, trava lutas sociais e encontra soluções para a redução das desigualdades. Bianca Tavolari, editora da seção As Cidades e as Coisas na Quatro Cinco Um, e Joice Berth, arquiteta, escritora e autora de Se a Cidade Fosse Nossa, lançado Paz e Terra, discutem neste episódio a vida em metrópoles como São Paulo. O episódio faz parte do especial As Cidades e as Coisas, tema da edição de fevereiro da revista dos livros. Apoio Lei de Incentivo à Cultura. Apoie o 451 MHz: https://bit.ly/Assine451

This week’s Great Political Fiction is Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons (1862), the definitive novel about the politics – and emotions – of intergenerational conflict. How did Turgenev manage to write a wistful novel about nihilism? What made Russian politics in the early 1860s so chock-full of frustration? Why did Turgenev’s book infuriate his contemporaries – including Dostoyevsky?
More from the LRB:
Pankaj Mishra on the disillusionment of Alexander Herzen
'"Emancipation", he concluded, "has finally proved to be as insolvent as redemption".'
Julian Barnes on Turgenev and Flaubert
‘When the two of them meet, they are already presenting themselves as elderly men in their early forties (Turgenev asserts that after 40 the basis of life is renunciation).’
