Produktinformationen "Thoughts and Adventures"
First published in 1932, Thoughts and Adventures is Churchill's most philosophical book. It conveys the extraordinary variety and depth of the statesman's mature thoughts on questions facing modern men and women. Written in what biographers have called Churchill's "wilderness years," this wide-ranging volume of essays touches on cartoons, hobbies, spies, flying, elections, economics, and modern science. Reading it is like being invited to dinner at his country seat at Chartwell, where the soup was limpid, Pol Roger Champagne flowed, the pudding had a theme, and Churchill entertained lucky visitors with vivid conversation. Published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Churchill's birth, with a new foreword and illuminating annotations by James W. Muller, this collection of 23 articles, most of them originally published in magazines and newspapers, revives Churchill's unforgettable prose and unmatched insights for a new generation of readers.
