Stacy Schiff

Stacy Schiff is the author of “The Witches: Salem, 1692,” which The New York Times hailed as “an almost novelistic, thriller-like narrative.” She also authored “Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov)”, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; “Saint-Exupéry,” a Pulitzer Prize finalist; and “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” winner of the George Washington Book Prize. In “The Revolutionary, Samuel Adams,” which will be available on Tuesday, Oct. 25, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.
