The Life and Letters of John Hay

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionJohn Hay - journalist, historian, poet, and diplomat - had the unique fortune of serving President Lincoln as his personal secretary and Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as Secretary of State. Being in many respects an ideal letter writer, Hay recorded his impressions so freshly and so vividly that he never leaves us in doubt as to what he thought of persons, political affairs, or life`s experiences. Included are the letters that he wrote to Garfield, Nicolay, Theodore Roosevelt and many others. Hay served at diplomatic posts in Paris (1865-76), Vienna (1867-68), and Madrid (1869-70). His widely-known ballads were collected in Pike County Ballads (1871), and from 1870-75 he was staff editorial writer at the New York Tribune. In 1897 he was appointed by President Cleveland as ambassador to Great Britain. As secretary of state (1898--1905), Hay authored the Open Door policy, instituted regular press conferences, and paved the way for the building of… [detailed...]

Laurence Sterne
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

2004 y.
Publisher: Modern Library
Description: Rich in playful double entendres, digressions, formal oddities, and typographical experiments, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman provoked a literary sensation when it first appeared in England in a series of volumes from 1759 to 1767. An ingeniously structured novel (about writing a novel) that fascinates like a verbal game of chess, Tristram Shandy is the most protean and playful English novel of the eighteenth century and a celebration of the art of fiction, its inventiveness anticipates the work of Joyce, Rushdie, and Fuentes in our own century. This Modern Library Paperback is set from the nine-volume first edition from 1759. [detailed...]

The Life and Times of Johann Sebastian Bach (MusicMakers: World`s Greatest Composers) (Masters of Music)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFor more than 100 years now, the name of Johann Sebastian Bach has been considered among the most highly regarded of all composers. The `holy cantor` church musician has been written about in many books. So, it might be difficult for someof us to imagine, but for several generations after his death, Bach had been forgotten. What remained of his vast number of works gathered dust in private collections of distant archives. Many of his works were discarded, in fact, some found their way toa butcher shop and are reported to have been used as wrapping paper. It took a twenty-year-old musician, who would become as well known as Bach, to bring about an interest in his works. In 1829, Felix Mendelssohn performed the St. Matthew Passion, and revived interest in the long-forgotten composer. The genius of Bach was finally recognized by the world. In this delightful story, young adults are introduced to one of the greatest composers of all time. Combining music,… [detailed...]

Charles White
The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe classic authorized biography that told it all. When Little Richard burst onto the scene in the early 1950s, he sounded like nothing on earth. Drenched in sweat, screaming, hollering and pumping his piano, his stage act was so explosive that for years people assumed the real man could never match the flamboyant public image. Then came Charles White?s sensational book exposing the even more astonishing life and times of Richard Wayne Penniman from Georgia. Little Richard made himself a star through sheer force of personality, breaking racial and sexual taboos on his way to becoming the primal force of Fifties rock ?n? roll. Elvis Presley called him ?the greatest?. Otis Redding called him his ?inspiration? and James Brown called him his idol. Charles White is the only author to have captured the true energy of Little Richard. Using Richard?s own words, White chronicles a staggering career that spanned the very rules of rock… [detailed...]
