Pages : 49
Book Description
Eugenia Stanhope, the impoverished widow of the illegitimate son of Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, was the first to publish the book 'Letters to His Son on the Art of Becoming a Man of the World and a Gentleman' which comprises a thirty-year correspondence in more than 400 letters. Begun in 1737 and continued until the death of his son in 1768, the Earl wrote mostly instructive communications about geography, history, and classical literature, with later letters focusing on politics and diplomacy, and the letters themselves were written in French, English and Latin to refine his son's grasp of the languages. As a handbook for worldly success in the 18th century, the book gives perceptive and nuanced advice for how a gentleman should interpret the social codes that are manners.

Juan Perón
Author: Jill Hedges
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755602684
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Within Argentina, Juan Domingo Perón continues to be the subject of exaggerated and diametrically opposed views. A dictator, a great leader, the hero of the working classes and Argentina's “first worker”; a weak and spineless man dependent on his strongerwilled wife; a Latin American visionary; a traitor, responsible for dragging Argentina into a modern, socially just 20th century society or, conversely, destroying for all time a prosperous nation and fomenting class war and unreasonable aspirations among his client base. Outside Argentina, Perón remains overshadowed by his second wife, Evita. The life of this fascinating and unusual man, whose charisma, political influence and controversial nature continue to generate interest, remains somewhat of a mystery to the rest of the world. Perón remains a key figure in Argentine politics, still able to occupy so much of the political spectrum as to constrain the development of viable alternatives. Jill Hedges explores the life and personality of Perón and asks why he remains a political icon despite the 'negatives' associated with his extreme personalism.
