The Road to Home

Vartan Gregorian writes about his life, beginning in an Iranian town where his illiterate Armenian grandmother was a major influence, and continuing through his education at Stanford, his years teaching European and Middle Eastern history, and his later careers as the president of the New York Public Library, Brown University, and the Carnegie Corporation. Throughout, he emphasizes his belief that the most important thing in anyone`s life is to continue to pursue education--which he defines as openness to experience.
