My Dearest Friend
Author: Abigail Adams
Publisher: Belknap Press
ISBN: 0674057058
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 549
Book Description
“A wonderfully vivid account of the momentous era they lived through, underscoring the chaotic, often improvisatory circumstances that attended the birth of the fledgling nation and the hardships of daily life.” —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times In 1762, John Adams penned a flirtatious note to “Miss Adorable,” the 17-year-old Abigail Smith. In 1801, Abigail wrote to wish her husband John a safe journey as he headed home to Quincy after serving as president of the nation he helped create. The letters that span these nearly forty years form the most significant correspondence—and reveal one of the most intriguing and inspiring partnerships—in American history. As a pivotal player in the American Revolution and the early republic, John had a front-row seat at critical moments in the creation of the United States, from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to negotiating peace with Great Britain to serving as the first vice president and second president under the U.S. Constitution. Separated more often than they were together during this founding era, John and Abigail shared their lives through letters that each addressed to “My Dearest Friend,” debating ideas and commenting on current events while attending to the concerns of raising their children (including a future president). Full of keen observations and articulate commentary on world events, these letters are also remarkably intimate. This new collection—including some letters never before published—invites readers to experience the founding of a nation and the partnership of two strong individuals, in their own words. This is history at its most authentic and most engaging.

Pages : 485
Book Description
In "The Flowers of Albion," the author has attempted a fusion between the classic repertoire of Persian imagery and lyricism with Western influences of metered prose and rhyming verse. The result is a collection of 275 poems that examine with ecstatic voice and energy the breadth and myriad truths of human emotions. These encompass the spurs of love, rage, sadness, pleading and longing; consuming desire for an unnamed Beloved and the euphoric pleasure that comes from reunion. Parables about human follies and revelation are told that emerge from the deepest motives of the human heart to be intimate with the worldly and divine. More than anything, a sense of unbridled joy is conveyed that urges the reader to probe for the searchlight of inner truth and be awakened in the radiance of spiritual transcendence.
