Slingshot Books LLC | 10 August 2022

Lincoln's first inaugural address was delivered on March 4th, 1861, as the North and South were sliding towards separation and Civil War. His second inaugural, given just weeks before his assassination, was also delivered on March 4th but four years later, in 1865. Just over a month later, April 18th, 1865, the Civil War ended with the surrender of the Confederate army. This was four days after Lincoln was shot on April 14th. He died the next day.

audiobook cover of The Gettysburg Address (Unabridged), by Abraham Lincoln
Slingshot Books LLC | 8 August 2022

The Dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, in November, 1863, followed a few short months after the roiling, acrid clouds of gun smoke dissipated, leaving a little crossroads town in Pennsylvania heir to the human tragedy of over 7,000 corpses and 21,000 men suffering wounds. It was a most unnatural disaster. On November 19, the chief executive made the trip to the still-dazed, shot-torn community to deliver, almost as an afterthought , an address that clarified his belief that the Negro race should be liberated from their slavery, and that despite the loss of so much blood and life, the Union should hold to the goal of completing this emancipation. That he knew the eyes of the nation would rest of him was evident; this address was the first speech since his inauguration that he prepared in advance. But these carefully crafted words - only 269 of them - became a vital part of our nation's identity, and are a signature to the bedrock of our beliefs.

ebook cover of Le mystère Trailor, by Abraham Lincoln
SKA | 28 February 2014

Abraham Lincoln relate une ténébreuse affaire qui aurait pu coûter la vie à trois innocents. Vraiment innocents ? Texte en français et en anglais (américain). APRES LE DEJEUNER, les trois frères Trailor et Fisher quittèrent la pension en déclarant vouloir passer la journée en ville. Mais les Trailor revinrent à l'heure du repas du soir, sans Fisher. Certains résidents s'en étonnèrent. Après le souper, les Trailor dirent à qui voulait l'entendre qu'ils allaient partir à sa recherche. Durant la soirée, ils s'en revinrent, un par un, le dernier bien après l'heure du dernier thé, et chacun déclara, ne l'ayant pas retrouvé, être incapable d'expliquer la disparition de Fischer. Il s'agit bien du président des Etats-Unis, père de l'abolition de l'esclavage, et sur la vie duquel Steven Spielberg vient de sortir un film. On sait qu'il était amateur de roman policier, genre naissant à l'époque, notamment des récits d'Edgar Poe. Cette nouvelle qui s'apparente davantage à une chronique judiciaire s'intègre naturellement dans la collection Perle noire. Claude Mesplède donne son éclairage sur cette curiosité littéraire dans une traduction de Jeanne Desaubry.

ebook cover of Le pouvoir des mots - Lettres et discours, by Abraham Lincoln
Archipel | 31 May 2010

" Nous ne pouvons, chers concitoyens, nous soustraire à l'Histoire. L'avenir se souviendra de nous, membres du Congrès et de cette administration, en dépit de nous-mêmes. [...] En donnant la liberté aux esclaves, nous garantissons la liberté des hommes libres et, ce faisant, nous sommes aussi honorables dans ce que nous donnons que dans ce que nous sauvegardons. Nous sauverons avec noblesse, ou ruinerons misérablement, la plus belle et ultime espérance de la terre. " (Adresse au Congrès, décembre 1862)Cet ouvrage rassemble 105 lettres, discours, communiqués militaires et proclamations d'Abraham Lincoln, seizième président des États-Unis - mais aussi de l'homme qu'il fut avant d'accéder à la Maison-Blanche et d'y mener la guerre de Sécession. On y trouvera aussi des confessions personnelles non destinées à être rendues publiques et même un poème.Divisé en huit parties, ce livre offre une présentation chronologique de la vie privée et politique du plus célèbre président américain. La plupart de ces documents sont ici traduits pour la première fois par Bernard Vincent, qui les présente et les restitue dans leur contexte biographique, politique et historique. L'ensemble témoigne de la pensée et l'action de ce président hors norme et de ce qu'a représenté pour lui l'arme du langage, écrit ou parlé - ce qu'un historien américain a appelé " le glaive de Lincoln ".
