Political Speeches - Marcus Tullius Cicero - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Political Speeches - Marcus Tullius Cicero - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''Two things alone I long for: first, that when I die I may leave the Roman people free...and second, that each person''s fate may reflect the way he has behaved towards his country.''Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world and a leading politician of the closing era of the Roman republic. This book presents nine speeches which reflect the development, variety, and drama of his political career,among them two speeches from his prosecution of Verres, a corrupt and cruel governor of Sicily; four speeches against the conspirator Catiline; and the Second Philippic, the famous denunciation of Mark Antony which cost Cicero his life. Also included are On the Command of Gnaeus Pompeius, in which he praises the military successes of Pompey, and For Marcellus, a panegyric in praise of the dictator Julius Caesar.These new translations preserve Cicero''s rhetorical brilliance and achieve new standards of accuracy. A general introduction outlines Cicero''s public career, and separate introductions explain the political significance of each of the speeches. Together with its companion volume, Defence Speeches, this edition provides an unparalleled sampling of Cicero''s oratorical achievements.

Specimen Days - Walt Whitman - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Specimen Days - Walt Whitman - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''I obey my happy hour''s command, which seems curiously imperative. May-be, if I don''t do anything else, I shall send out the most wayward, spontaneous, fragmentary book ever printed.'' One of the best kept secrets of modern autobiographical literature, Whitman''s autobiography moves in brisk, episodic fashion to chronicle the life of one of the world''s best loved and most influential poets. Experimental in form, lyrical in expression, and rich in experiential content, Specimen Days still awaits a much wider readership than it has hitherto commanded. Whitman gives us his life as lived in relation to the shifting urban and rural ecologies of a young nation -a nation that had freshly emerged from catastrophic civil war and that was assuming the vanguard of artistic, technological, economic, political, and philosophical modernity.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Typhoon and Other Tales - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

TYPHOON * FALK * AMY FOSTER *THE SECRET SHARERThe four tales in this volume share autobiographical origins in Conrad''s experience at sea and his exile from Poland, the country of his birth.

In ''Falk'' a taciturn young woman is bizarrely courted by a tug-boat master who is haunted by a terrible secret. ''Amy Foster'' tells of an emigrant Pole struggling to overcome isolation and prejudice in England. The final tale, ''The Secret Sharer'', is Conrad''s most famous short story, a masterpiece of suspense and ambiguity. Giving sanctuary to a fugitive sailor, a young sea-captain risks his ship and his command in order to save him.This revised edition uses the English first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography.

Leadership - Keith (professor Of Public Leadership Grint - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Leadership - Keith (professor Of Public Leadership Grint - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The subject of leadership raises many questions: What is it? How does it differ from management and command? Are leaders born or bred? Who are the leaders? Do we actually need leaders? Inevitably, the answers are provocative and partial; leadership is a hugely important topic of debate. There are constant calls for ''greater'' or ''stronger'' leadership, but what this actually means, how we can evaluate it, and why it''s important are not very clear. In this Very Short Introduction Keith Grint prompts the reader to rethink their understanding of what leadership is. He examines the way leadership has evolved from its earliest manifestations in ancient societies, highlighting the beginnings of leadership writings through Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and others, to consider the role of the social, economic, and political context undermining particular modes of leadership. Exploring the idea that leaders cannot exist without followers, and recognising that we all have diverse experiences and assumptions of leadership, Grint looks at the practice of management, its history, future, and influence on all aspects of society. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

''Though I have been dead these fifteen years, I still command here, and none can enter these gates without my permission.''When Sir Philip Harclay returns to England after a long absence, he finds that his childhood friend, Arthur, Lord Lovel, is no longer alive, and that the castle and estates of the Lovel family have twice changed hands. But a mysteriously abandoned set of rooms in the castle of Lovel promises to disclose the secrets of the past. After a series of frantic episodes and surprising revelations, culminating in a trial by combat, the crimes of the usurper and the legitimacy of the true heir are finally discovered.''The literary offspring of the castle of Otranto'', as Reeve described it, The Old English Baron provides an ambitious rewriting of Horace Walpole''s groundbreaking work, transporting the trappings of the Gothic to medieval England.

Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration - John Locke - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration - John Locke - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''Man being born...to perfect freedom...hath by nature a power...to preserve his property, that is, his life, liberty and estate.''Locke''s Second Treatise of Government (1689) is one of the great classics of political philosophy, widely regarded as the foundational text of modern liberalism. In it Locke insists on majority rule, and regards no government as legitimate unless it has the consent of the people. He sets aside people''s ethnicities, religions, and cultures and envisages political societies which command our assent because they meet our elemental needs simply as humans. His work helped to entrench ideas of a social contract, human rights, and protection of property as the guiding principles for just actions and just societies.Published in the same year, A Letter Concerning Toleration aimed to end Christianity''s wars of religion and called for the separation of church and state so that everyone could enjoy freedom of conscience. In this edition of these two major works, Mark Goldie considers the contested nature of Locke''s reputation, which is often appropriated by opposing political and religious ideologies.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

The Fall of France - Julian Jackson - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Fall of France - Julian Jackson - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

On 16 May 1940 an emergency meeting of the French High Command was called at the Quai d''Orsay in Paris. The German army had broken through the French lines on the River Meuse at Sedan and elsewhere, only five days after launching their attack. Churchill, who had been telephoned by Prime Minister Reynaud the previous evening to be told that the French were beaten, rushed to Paris to meet the French leaders. The mood in the meeting was one of panic and despair; there was talk of evacuating Paris. Churchill asked Gamelin, the French Commander in Chief, ''Where is the strategic reserve?'' ''There is none,'' replied Gamelin. This exciting book by Julian Jackson, a leading historian of twentieth-century France, charts the breathtakingly rapid events that led to the defeat and surrender of one of the greatest bastions of the Western Allies, and thus to a dramatic new phase of the Second World War. The search for scapegoats for the most humiliating military disaster in French history began almost at once: were miscalculations by military leaders to blame, or was this an indictment of an entire nation? Using eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Julian Jackson recreates, in gripping detail, the intense atmosphere and dramatic events of these six weeks in 1940, unravelling the historical evidence to produce a fresh answer to the perennial question of whether the fall of France was inevitable.

Alexander the Great - Arrian - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Alexander the Great - Arrian - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''He was a man like no other man has ever been''So Arrian sums up the career of Alexander the Great of Macedon (356-323 BC), who in twelve years that changed the world led his army in conquest of a vast empire extending from the Danube to the rivers of the Punjab, from Egypt to Uzbekistan, and died in Babylon at the age of 32 with further ambitions unfulfilled.Arrian (c. 86-161 AD), a Greek man of letters who had experience of military command and of the highest political office in both Rome and Athens, set out to write the definitive account of Alexander''s life and campaigns, published as the Anabasis and its later companion piece the Indica . His work is now our prime and most detailed extant source for the history of Alexander, and it is a dramatic story, fast-moving like its main subject, and told with great narrative skill. Arrian admired Alexander and was fascinated by him, but was also alive to his faults: he presents a compelling account of an exceptional leader, brilliant, ruthless, passionate, and complex.
