THE ART OF ORATORY: 150 SPEECHES FROM LEADERS WHO HAVE INSPIRED US ACROSS THE AGES AND CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码： 14630012B58392

English Summary/英文概要： The greatest speeches have changed world history. To compile an anthology of them is therefore to sketch a history of the world. From the origins of western oratory in classical Greece (Pericles, Demosthenes), via its exponents in the great age of British Parliamentary debate and American Congressional and Presidential campaigning, through its perverting by the twentieth-century’s worst dictators and demagogues, to its exuberant modern practitioners in black America (Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson) or South Africa (Nelson Mandela), this book is a treasury of golden words launched from silver tongues. Each speech is presented with a portrait of the speaker plus a short biography and an account of the context in which the speech was delivered, including the historical consequences.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 最伟大的演讲改变了世界历史。为了编译一本他们的文集由此速写了一部世界的历史。从西方演讲术起源于古希腊(Pericles, Demosthenes),经由大英时代的英国议会辩论和美国国会和总统竞选活动对其倡导后,经历二十世纪最严重的独裁者和煽动者对其的歪曲,直到现代从业者在美国黑人(马丁•路德•金,杰西•杰克逊)和南非(纳尔逊•曼德拉) 才开始兴旺,这本书是一个唇枪舌战语言组织的宝库。每篇演说都提供了演讲者的肖像，加上了一个简短的介绍和演讲来龙去脉的说明，包括其历史影响。(LNL)
