Speeches of Note

A richly illustrated and wonderfully eclectic collection of THE WORLD`S GREATEST SPEECHES – THE OLD, THE NEW AND THE UNSPOKEN – from the author of the international bestseller, Letters of Note. Discover speeches that altered the course of history, like NELSON MANDELA`s on the day he became South Africa`s first black President, and outpourings of much-needed change, such as the impassioned, impromptu appeal for women`s rights from SOJOURNER TRUTH, an African-American woman born into slavery. Expect the gloriously unexpected, as KERMIT THE FROG takes to the podium, and celebrate lives well-lived, including TILDA SWINTON`s tribute to `every alien`s favourite cousin`, DAVID BOWIE. While some speeches are heard by millions, some remain unspoken: the secret draft prepared for QUEEN ELIZABETH II during a military exercise for World War III, and PRESIDENT NIXON`s chilling public announcement should NEIL ARMSTRONG and BUZZ ALDRIN become stranded on the Moon. Surprising, inspiring and shocking; moving, comforting and enlightening. SPEECHES OF NOTE: seventy-five extraordinary ways to step into someone else`s shoes. FEATURING: Malala Yousafzai * Tilda Swinton * Albert Einstein * Nick Cave * Queen Elizabeth II * Kermit the Frog * Pablo Picasso * Harvey Milk * J. M. Barrie * General Dwight D.
