The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams
This book gives the clearest presentation of how the culture of power and wealth must be learned through immersion within it and alert reflection upon it. It is also an indictment of that culture's promises.

Ways of Seeing by John Berger
It is a study of how we see (art, politics, class relations) what we're already conditioned to see, and, as a consequence, how difficult it is to see critically.

A brilliant retelling of stories from the Gnostic gospels by a major American playwright.
