The Real George Washington: The True Story of America 's Most Indispensable Man. Es gibt eigentlich keine Geschichte, nur Biografie, schrieb Ralph Waldo Emerson. Wenn das für den allgemeinen Lauf der Menschheit zutrifft, so gilt dies insbesondere für George Washington. Die Geschichte seines Lebens ist die Geschichte der Gründung Amerikas. Er war die dominierende Persönlichkeit in drei der kritischsten Ereignisse in dieser Gründung: dem Unabhängigkeitskrieg, dem Verfassungskonvent und der ersten nationalen Verwaltung. Hätte er nicht Amerikas Führer bei diesen drei Ereignissen gedient, wäre wahrscheinlich alles gescheitert – und Amerika, wie wir es heute kennen, würde es nicht geben.
Warum bleibt George Washington nach zwei Jahrhunderten eine der beliebtesten Figuren unserer Geschichte? Der Real George Washington beantwortet diese Frage, indem er uns einen genauen Blick auf diesen Mann gibt, der der Vater unseres Landes und der erste amerikanische Präsident wurde. Aber anstatt sich auf die Interpretationen von Historikern zu konzentrieren, wird ein Großteil seiner aufregenden Geschichte in seinen eigenen Worten erzählt. Der zweite Teil dieses 928-seitigen Buches vereint die wichtigsten und aufschlussreichsten Passagen aus Washingtons Schriften, bequem nach Thema arrangiert.
Veröffentlicht vom National Center for Constitutional Studies, einer gemeinnützigen Bildungsstiftung, die sich der Wiederherstellung der verfassungsmäßigen Prinzipien in der Tradition der amerikanischen Gründungsväter widmet. Das National Center for Constitutional Studies... leistet einen guten öffentlichen Dienst bei der Aufklärung der Amerikaner über die Prinzipien der Verfassung. -- Ronald Reagan, Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Written in the devastating aftermath of a partner's suicide, this unprecedented collection is a restorative memorial act, an exploration of queer time, and a powerful expression of nonbinary and trans love in the wake of traumatic loss. suddenly a brilliant red-tailed star / flew across the sky, a sun reversing time, / I crossed one world to another / I stood with her in the other world Queer writers Cass Donish and Kelly Caldwell were life partners, exploring their evolving gender identities together, writing poems side by side, and navigating Caldwell's severe bipolar disorder until her death by suicide in 2020. In Your Dazzling Death, Donish insists that the intimacy of an ongoing conversation with a beloved mysteriously continues after loss; they elegize Caldwell and summon the courage to witness their own state of obliteration, widowed and isolated as a global pandemic is unfolding. With searing honesty and profound perceptiveness, Donish finds a fierce new aesthetic for the disorientation of grief. Let me paint this / entire country / the colors of your face, they write, showing how wildly scale can shift in the midst of loss. Against the backdrop of anti-trans bills / moving through state legislatures, Donish affirms the beauty of their lover's trans becoming, recalling when they sounded out / your new potential names / until we found those syllables . . . which tasted, you said, like having / a future. In the sequence Kelly in Violet, the centerpiece of this collection, the story of Caldwell's death emerges in conversation with the work of Uruguayan poet Marosa di Giorgio, whose words allow Donish to access the shattering event, appearing here in ghostly traces. Your Dazzling Death memorializes a brilliant woman, ritualizes the work of grief, and subverts linear time, asserting that any shape the future takes will be informed forever by a monumental love that is still alive, not only in the past, but in an envisioned space of timelessness where love and grief are inevitably intertwined.
