A very accessible, instructive selection of the fifty or so most important speeches throughout the centuries and across the continents. Each speech is introduced by notes on the historical context and on the speaker's life. Originally writen in English for English-speaking readers, the book was translated into French and a selection of the most important speeches in French was added. An excellent way to start a journey in the world of speeches.
