101 SPEECHES OF THE WORLD

“101 Speeches of the
World is a unique collection that traces the evolution of the art of oratory.
It spans across time to re-introduce readers to the masters of eloquence such
as the eminent Greeks, Pericles and Demosthenes, who foregrounded the tradition
of oratory. Considered amongst the finest of arts for centuries, and
practiced only by a select few kings, scholars and people of nobility over
time, and with changing systems of governance, the art of oratory became more
democratised. In modern times, public speaking has been utilised by people of
various cultures, histories, ideologies, and social standing to voice their
concerns, stir people to action, spread the message of hope and shape
history. This book includes some of the finest speakers of all time such as
Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Swami
Vivekananda, Emmeline Pankhurst, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Martin
Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama amongst others. A collector’s edition.
