English Author: The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History


Original Title in English, #1 Best Sellerin Political History of Politicians
Author: Boris Johnson
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton (23 Oct. 2014)
ISBN-13: 978-1444783025

Note by ATA: I am "reading" the audiobook on Audible.fr. It is a very powerful book, so beautifully read, in such an excellent English, that I caught myself wishing I were young enough to start doing all over again my studies in English Literature, Politics, Rhetoric, and Drama. A MUST read book, an excellent training material for your writing skills.



'He writes with gusto... the result is a book that is never boring, genuinely clever ... this book sizzles.' The Times
'The must-read biography of the year.' Evening Standard
'The point of the Churchill Factor is that one man can make all the difference.'
Marking the fiftieth anniversary of Winston Churchill's death, Boris Johnson explores what makes up the 'Churchill Factor' - the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion-a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity.
Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect.
Most of all, as Boris Johnson says, 'Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces'. THE CHURCHILL FACTOR is a book to be enjoyed not only by anyone interested in history: it is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader.

English Authors: Preparing for the Twenty-first Century

Original Title in English
Author: Paul Kennedy
Publishers: Vintage Book (1993)
ISBN 978-765-4321
My ref: ATA-335







About the Book: Kennedy’s groundbreaking book The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers helped to reorder the current priorities of the United States. Now, he synthesizes extensive research on fields ranging from demography to robotics to draw a detailed, persuasive, and often sobering map of the very near future–a bold work that bridges the gap between history, prophecy, and policy.


About the Author: Paul Kennedy is the author or editor of thirteen books, including Preparing for the Twenty-first Century and The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, which has been translated into more than twenty languages. He serves on the editorial board of numerous scholarly journals and has written for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic Monthly, and several other publications. Educated at Newcastle University and Oxford University, he is a former fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton University and of the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung in Bonn.


Selected Reviews:
  • Scott London's review: "Preparing for the Twenty-First Century is a wide-ranging and intelligent survey of global trends — from population growth and global warming to the revolutions in biotechnology and robotics — and how they are likely to influence, if not dictate, the shape of society in coming years. The book is divided into three parts. 
    • The first is largely descriptive and examines general world trends. A chapter each is devoted to the population explosion and shifting demographic patterns; the communications revolution and the rise of the multinational corporation; world agriculture and the burgeoning field of biotechnology; robotics, automation and the changing face of industry; the growing threats to the natural world and the danger posed by global warming; and the decline of the nation-state. 
    • Part Two takes a more analytical turn, assessing the regional impacts of these global changes on the developing world, Japan, India, China, the former Soviet world, Europe, and the United States. 
    • Part Three consists of a single chapter summarizing Kennedy's conclusions about how societies can best "prepare" themselves for the twenty-first century. 
    • Conclusion: Kennedy's prognosis for the United States is less than optimistic. In his view, a steadily declining rate of economic growth, declining per capita productivity, a weak financial system, and a continuing trade deficit are the primary sources of concern. The country also faces considerable social challenges, including widespread drug use, urban crime, and a health care system that costs more and serves fewer people than any other health system in the industrialized world. But despite these problems, he concludes, the United States may "muddle through" and ultimately come out a winner.

Recommended Readings:
  • e-Notes recommends: Kennedy presents a gloomy prognosis, one of many challenges and solutions that all have costs. Meeting these challenges will require increased cooperation among nations and increased recognition of the costs of development. Read more on e-Notes under this link: http://www.enotes.com/topics/preparing-for-twenty-first-century
  • UN Millenium Development Goals: The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. The UN is also working with governments, civil society and other partners to build on the momentum generated by the MDGs and carry on with an ambitious post-2015 development agenda. Find out more on http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/
  • National Academy of Sciences: Technology and the Nation's Future : This paper focuses on government policies regarding technology development and proposes measures to facilitate the translation of new knowledge to new capabilities. Another paper in this series, "Science and Engineering Research in a Changing World," describes policies that can strengthen linkages between science and engineering research and national objectives.

  • New Frontiers of Educational Research: Preparing Teachers for the 21st Century, Editors: Zhu, Xudong, Zeichner, Kenneth (Eds.). ​This book provides a comparative perspective and different methodologies to answering the question how to prepare high quality teachers in the East and the West.

  • Global Leaders for the Twenty-First Century By Michael J. Marquardt. The twentieth century had its share of great leaders, from Alfred Sloan of General Motors to Jack Welch of General Electric, who were called by Noel Tichey "œthe first and the last great leaders of the twenty-first century" (Tichey and Cohen, 1997). They led effectively, but in a century much slower in pace and less intensive ...more book preview under this link: https://muse.jhu.edu/books/9780791492178

French Books: Culture et Impérialisme

Original Title in English: Culture and Imperialism (Link to download pdf)
Author: Edward W. Said 
French Title: Culture et Impérialisme, Translation by Paul Chemla
Publisher in France: Fayard, Le Monde diplomatique  (2000)
ISBN: 9782213607917
My ref: ATA-337






About the Book:  Publié il y a plus de trente ans, L’Orientalisme avait suscité un immense intérêt et de vives polémiques sur les relations que l’Occident a entretenues, et continue d’entretenir, avec le monde musulman. L’auteur y démontrait que l’« Orient » n’était qu’un fantasme créé par les orientalistes.

Avec Culture et impérialisme, Edward W. Said récidive. Il nous conduit « au cœur des ténèbres » blanches, à la source de l’aventure coloniale constitutive de l’histoire de l’Occident moderne. S’appuyant sur une analyse fine et singulière d’œuvres classiques que chacun connaît et admire, il montre comment les grands créateurs du XIXe et du XXe siècles, de Joseph Conrad à Rudyard Kipling, d’Albert Camus à Giuseppe Verdi, de Charles Dickens à Honoré de Balzac, ont évoqué et calmement admis cette formidable entreprise de domination conduite par l’ « homme blanc ».

About the Author: Palestinien né à Jérusalem, nourri de culture occidentale classique, Edward W. Said — décédé en 2003 — appartient, comme il le dit lui-même, « aux deux univers sans être entièrement d’aucun ».


« L’ennui avec les abstractions et les orthodoxies, c’est qu’elles deviennent des maîtresses qu’il faut constamment apaiser et flatter. La morale et les principes d’un intellectuel ne doivent en aucune façon devenir une sorte de boîte de vitesses hermétiquement closes, conduisant la pensée et l’action dans une seule direction. L’intellectuel doit voir du paysage et disposer de l’espace nécessaire pour tenir tête à l’autorité, car l’aveugle servilité à l’égard du pouvoir reste dans notre monde la pire des menaces pour une vie intellectuelle active, et morale. »
Edward W. Said
Des intellectuels et du Pouvoir, Seuil, 1994 

Ce livre, publié conjointement par Le Monde diplomatique et les éditions Fayard, constitue une œuvre majeure pour comprendre l’histoire et les enjeux de notre temps.

Selected Book review on Amazon.com:
"This is an excellent book covering the power of literature to form and maintain ideological control over cultures, history, and people. In fact, the wide range of opinions about this book expressed here among the amazon customer reviews points to just how real this kind of control can be. Your position in the world will affect your reading of this book. But really that's Said's point. And it is true of whatever you see and read. Being entirely objective probably is asking too much of anyone, but opening yourself to the opinions and experiences of others is not asking too much. There's more than just a little that is valid and true in this book even if it is not immediately true for you. How Western literature, words, and ideas have affected other non-western lives is real. Here's the proof. Everyone needs to be aware of these relationships and this book does make a sound argument for that awareness."


Have an excellent weekend.

Jane Austen, née le 16 décembre 1775 à Steventon, dans le Hampshire en Angleterre et morte le 18 juillet 1817, est une femme de lettres anglaise. Son réalisme, sa critique sociale mordante et sa maîtrise du discours indirect libre, son humour décalé et sonironie ont fait d'elle l'un des écrivains anglais les plus largement lus et aimés.
