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