Informació de l'obraSpeeches that Changed the World de Simon Sebag Montefiore (2005)
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Presents a collection of more than fifty important speeches from all periods of history along with an explanation detailing why each speech was significant and its impact on world events.  DesertMarigold | Aug 15, 2016 |  I think some of the critics believe the choices were some what pro-Western. I don't agree. The tome doesn't lay claim to include every world-changing speech, only some of them and it does a very reasonable job of that ambition. (  ) tommi180744 | May 31, 2016 | Compendio di storia ovviamente parziale, decisamente spostato verso leader politici statunitensi, non mi ha entusiasmato come credevo. Forse non sono i discorsi ad essere evocativi e toccanti (a parte alcuni, come quello di Wiesel, o di Sadat), e non sono loro ad aver cambiato il mondo: e' l'uso ed il riuso che ne abbiamo fatto ad averli trasformati in icone del cambiamento. Peccato solo che - nella migliore tradizione utilitaristica americana - di molti discorsi sono riportati solo i passi migliori, e non tutta la loro l'esposizione. (  ) bobparr | Dec 14, 2014 | От производителя Книга объединяет более 50 публичных выступлений самых разных исторических деятелей и политиков - от библейского пророка Моисея до президента Джорджа Буша. Британский писатель и историк Саймон Сибэг Монтефиоре уже известен российскому читателю бестселлерами "Потемкин" и "Сталин: двор красного монарха". В книге "Речи, которые изменили мир" Монтефиоре выделяет ключевые моменты истории человечества и раскрывает их значение через воззвания лидеров - людей, определявших словом и делом вектор последующего развития. Каждая речь сопровождается очерком, высвечивающим исторический фон, на котором она была произнесена, и биографической справкой об ораторе. Эффектные черно-белые иллюстрации по степени воздействия близки к документальному кино. Большинство речей публикуются на русском языке впервые. Книга будет полезна не только тем, кто интересуется всемирной историей и риторикой, но и руководителям, перед которыми стоит задача вдохновлять и вести за собой. fedoriv.com | Sep 13, 2012 | A decent collection of speeches, nicely assembled and published.

From calls to arms to demands for peace, and from cries of freedom to words of inspiration, this stirring anthology captures the voices of prophets and politicians, rebels and tyrants, soldiers and statesman, placing them in historical context. With over a million copies already sold, this completely revised and updated pocket edition includes speeches by those that have truly shaped the modern world: from Greta Thunberg to Donald Trump, and from Nadia Murad to Oprah Winfrey. A biography of each speaker reveals how they came to stand at the crossroads of history, and each speech is accompanied by an introduction explaining its historical context and how it influenced the momentous events of the day - as well as those that followed. By turns moving and thought-provoking, this new edition reveals a modern world in which freedom of speech remains a powerful agent of change - and gives unique perspectives on key turning points in history. Contents include: Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, Martin Luther King, Jr, Queen Elizabeth I, Oliver Cromwell, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, Emmeline Pankhurst, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles de Gaulle, George S. Patton, Jr, Malcolm X, Vaclav Havel, Mikhail Gorbachev, Indira Gandhi and Winston Churchill to name a few.
