Number of pages : 416

Language : French & English 

A future Nobel Prize winner for literature, the British Prime Minister took great stylistic care in writing his war speeches. In the darkest days of the Battle of Britain, every word had to be powerful. Churchill's genius was much more than a permanent sense of formula. It's an incomparable metre, a music and that voice, which we think we hear, rocky, tangled, breathless; for six years, it embodied the resistance of the Allies. Readers will find here the best of Churchill's wartime speeches, unavailable in French since the late 1950s. Winston Churchill was both one of the most important statesmen of the 20th century and an immense writer. His two autobiographical stories, Mes jeunes années (2020) and Réflexions et Aventures (2008), were published in the "Texto" collection.
