George Fox-An Autobiography

George Fox-An Autobiography

By: Rufus M. Jones, M.A. LITT.D. 

There are mysterious moments in the early life of the individual which we call “budding periods.” They are incubation crises, when some new power or function is coming into being. The budding tendency to creep, to walk, to imitate, or to speak, is an indication that the psychological moment has come for learning the special operation. There are, too, similar periods in the history of the race, mysterious times of gestation, when something new is coming to be, however dimly the age itself comprehends the significance of its travail. These racial “budding periods,” like those others, have organic connection with the past. They are life-events which the previous history of humanity has made possible, and so they cannot be understood by themselves. [download]

Vijay Amritraj-An Autobiography

Vijay Amritraj-An Autobiography

By: Vijay Amritraj and Richard Evans

In this fascinating autobiography, Vijay Amritraj, one of India’s top tennis stars, tells the story of his life; how as a child his introduction to tennis was at the insistence of his mother and father, who made great sacrifices and showed tremendous strength of will to give the Amritraj brothers, with the help of Rama Rao, the coach, the essential grounding in tennis which would take them to peaks of achievement. Amritraj tells all; his Davis Cup triumph, his appearance on the centre court of Wimbledon, his career as a tennis player all over the world, his acting in the James Bond movie, Octopussy, and the various enterprises started by him. Included are delightful episodes of his finding a bride, family vignettes of his brothers, and nostalgic mentions of the warm family cocoon which always offered him warmth and strength, and still does.

Malcolm X-The Autobiography

Malcolm X-The Autobiography 

By: Alex Haley

When My Mother was pregnant with me, she told me later, a party of Hooded Ku Klux Klan riders galloped up to our home in Omaha, Nebraska, one night. Surrounding the house, brandishing their shotguns and rifles, they shouted for My Father to  come out. My Mother went to the front door and opened it. Standing where they could see her pregnant condition, she told them that she was alone with three small children, and that my father was away, preaching, in Milwaukee. The Klansmen shouted threaths and warning at her that we had better get out of town because “the good Christian white people” were not going to stand for my father’s “spreading trouble” among the “good” Negroes of Omaha with the “Back to Africa” preachings of Marcus Garvey.  [download]

Bill Clinton-My Life

Bill Clinton-My Life

By: Bill Clinton 

When I was a young man just out of law school and eager to get on with my life, on a whim I briefly put aside my reading preference for fiction and history and bought one of those how-to books: How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life, by Alan Lakein. The book’s main point was the necessity of listing short-, medium-, and long-term life goals, then categorizing them in order of their importance, with the A group being the most important, the B group next, and the C the last, then listing under each goal specific activities designed to achieve them. I still have that paperback book, now almost thirty years old. And I’m sure I have that old list somewhere buried in my papers, though I can’t find it. However, I do remember the A list. I wanted to be a good man, have a good marriage and children, have good friends, make a successful political life, and write a great book. [download]

The Case for Hillary Clinton

The Case for Hillary Clinton 

By: Susan Estrich

Imagine the moment when a news anchor will say, “Based on all our projections, we can now say that the United States of America has elected its first woman president . . .” If you’re old enough, think back to how you felt in 1984, when you heard that Walter Mondale had picked Geraldine Ferraro to be his running mate. Remember what it was like when she stood up to accept the nomination, and for a moment there were no limits to what was possible. Sally Ride was flying into space; Gerry Ferraro was running for vice president. All of a sudden it seemed true after all: Women could do anything. Now, multiply that feeling by a thousand, and imagine how it will feel when a woman stands up to accept the Democratic presidential nomination the first woman to be nominated for the presidency by either party.

Agatha Christie–An Autobiography

Agatha Christie–An Autobiography

 

By: Agatha Christie

 

Agatha Christie began to write this book in April 1950; she finished it some fifteen years later when she was 75 years old. Any book written over so long a period must contain certain repetitions and inconsistencies and these have been tidied up. Nothing of importance has been omitted, however: substantially, this is the autobiography as she would have wished it to appear. She ended it when she was 75 because, as she put it, ‘it seems the right moment to stop. Because, as far as life is concerned, that is all there is to say.’ The last ten years of her life saw some notable triumphs-the film of Murder on the Orient Express; the continued phenomenal run of The Mousetrap.

Kim Jong IL–Modern World Leaders

Kim Jong IL–Modern World Leaders

By: Richard Worth

Leadership, it may be said, is really what makes the world go round. Love no doubt smoothes the passage; but love is a private transaction between consenting adults. Leadership is a public transaction with history. The idea of leadership affirms the capacity of individuals to move, inspire, and mobilize masses of people so that they act together in pursuit of an end. Sometimes leadership serves good purposes, sometimes bad; but whether the end is benign or evil, great leaders are those men and women who leave their personal stamp on history. Now, the very concept of leadership implies the proposition that individuals can make a difference. This proposition has never been universally accepted. From classical times to the present day, eminent thinkers have regarded individuals as no more than the agents and pawns of larger forces, whether the gods and goddesses of the ancient world or, in the modern era, race, class, nation, the dialectic, the will of the people, the spirit of the times, history itself.

The Personal History and Experience of David Copperfield The Young

The Personal History and Experience of David Copperfield The Young

By: Charles Dickens 

I do not find it easy to get sufficiently far away from this book, in the first sensation of having finished it, to refer to it with the composure which this formal heading would seem to require. Y interest in it, it is so recent and strong; and my mind is so divided between pleasure and regret pleasure in the achievement of a laong design, regret in the separation from many companions – that I am in danger of wearying the reader whom I love, with personal confidences, and private emotions. Beside which, all that I could say of the story, to any purpose, I have endeavoured to say in it. [download]
