Audio Book (CD). Etat : Good. Unabridged. Americas beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nations birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed Americas survival in the hands of George Washington.In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence-when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the Kings men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCulloughs 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.

Audio Book (CD). Etat : Good. Abridged. The definitive short story collection that established Ernest Hemingway's literary reputation, originally published in 1938.Ernest Hemingway is a cultural icon-an archetype of rugged masculinity, a romantic ideal of the intellectual in perpetual exile-but, to his countless readers, Hemingway remains a literary force much greater than his image. Of all of Hemingways canonical fictions, perhaps none demonstrate so forcefully the power of the authors revolutionary style as his short stories. In classics like Hills like White Elephants, The Butterfly in the Tank, and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, Hemingway shows us great literature compressed to its most potent essentials. We also see, in Hemingways short fiction, the tales that created the legend: these are stories of men and women in love and in war and on the hunt, stories of a lost generation born into a fractured time.The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway presents many of Hemingways most famous classics alongside rare and unpublished material: Hemingways early drafts and correspondence, his dazzling out-of-print essay on the art of the short story, and two marvelous examples of his earliest work-his first published story, The Judgment of Manitou, which Hemingway wrote when still a high school student, and a never-before-published story, written when the author was recovering from a war injury in Milan after WWI. This work offers vital insight into the artistic development of one of the twentieth centurys greatest writers. It is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers, and it belongs in the collection of any true Hemingway fan.
