![]() ![]() Author: Williams Hywel Publisher: White Star Questo libro raccoglie 45 fra i più memorabili, appassionati e influenti discorsi tenuti dal 1945 a oggi. Dai severi ammonimenti contro la minaccia del totalitarismo alla celebrazione di indipendenze a lungo perseguite, dalle difese infervorate dei principi morali agli appelli per il cambiamento politico, la selezione operata da Hywel Williams copre un'ampia varietà di temi e argomenti. È un'antologia a molte voci: dittatori e paladini della democrazia, conservatori e progressisti, soldati e pacifisti, politici e imprenditori, pontefici e professionisti di fama internazionale. Alcune delle più eminenti figure del mondo moderno - Churchill e de Gaulle, Kennedy e Martin Luther King, Nehru e Nasser, Mandela e Mao, Thatcher e Reagan, Castro e Obama, Renzo Piano e Papa Francesco - fanno sfoggio delle loro affinate abilità oratorie. Ogni discorso è accompagnato da una sintetica cronologia che inquadra la vita dell'oratore e da un approfondimento che contestualizza storicamente il discorso stesso, esaminandone l'impatto e le conseguenze. Il libro presenta alcuni dei più importanti e memorabili discorsi della storia recente: da quello famoso della 'Cortina di ferro' tenuto da Churchill a Fulton nel 1946, alle storiche dichiarazioni di David Ben-Gurion di fronte all'Assemblea eletta degli ebrei di Palestina nel 1947; dall'ispirato discorso di Eleanor Roosevelt tenuto in occasione dell'adozione della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani nel 1948. € 19,90

![]() ![]() Author: Williams Hywel Publisher: Trafalgar Square The life, times, and historical legacy of the man who created modern Europe Every facet of the rule and legacy of one of the most remarkable rulers in European history is explored in this magisterial new study. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne is a defining figure of both Western Europe and the Middle Ages. Crowned king of the Franks in 768, he expanded their kingdoms into an empire that incorporated much of western and central Europe, recreating a single Christian imperium in the heartlands of the old Western Roman empire for the first time since the decline and fall of that polity in the late fifth century AD. After his imperial coronation Charlemagne was seen as a rival, in power and majesty, of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople. Charlemagne's empire, and the cultural golden age that is associated with it, encouraged the formation of a common European identity. This study is a major contribution to early medieval history, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the wider history of Europe. € 17,60

![]() ![]() Author: Williams Hywel Publisher: Trafalgar Square The currents of History run deep and often unseen beneath the everyday ripple of events. But now and again the current rises to the surface, and the events of a single day shed an exceptional light on the meaning of the past. Such events are the subject of Days that Changed the World. Some of the 50 days described here mark the end of an era; others the start of something new. Many are the dates of bloody battles or murders; others of momentous decisions or breathtaking discoveries. All are remembered aspowerful symbols of their time. Our story begins almost 2500 years ago on 28 September 480 before the Christian Era, when the Athenian navy destroyed the Persian invasion fleet in the Bay of Salamis. Had the Persians won we might never have heard the names of Plato, Aristotle or Alexander, nor recognize the word democracy. Charting 50 such defining moments, concluding with 11 September 2001 and the destruction of New York's Twin Towers, Days that Changed the World is a unique and fascinating way to portray the story of world history. € 13,70
