First published in her pioneering treatise Statecraft, the opinions and projections of the former Prime Minister on Europe remain potent and resoundingly prophetic. Margaret Thatcher foresaw the European Union as a swelling superstate, gradually eroding Britain's freedom. Irreparable and doomed, European integration did not allow for the birthright of nationhood. It was the most recent incarnation of an idea that has been tried many times before, and the outcomes were far from happy. During my lifetime, she says, most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or other, from mainland Europe, and the solutions from outside it.
A newly edited, single-volume commemorative edition of ‘The Path to Power’ and ‘The Downing Street Years’; this is Margaret Thatcher in her own words. Margaret Thatcher was the towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics. Now following her death in 2013, this is her account of her remarkable life. Beginning with her upbringing in Grantham, she goes on to describe her entry into Parliament. Rising through the ranks of this man’s world, she led the Conservative Party to victory in 1979, becoming Britain's first woman prime minister. Offering a riveting firsthand version of the critical moments of her premiership – the Falklands War, the miners' strike, the Brighton bomb and her unprecedented three election victories, the book reaches a gripping climax with an hour-by-hour description of her dramatic final days in 10 Downing Street. Margaret Thatcher's frank and compelling autobiography stands as a powerful testament to her influential legacy.
The extraordinary account of Margaret Thatcher's life up to her dramatic election as the first woman Prime Minister of England in 1979.
The ninth biggest country in the world, Kazakhstan stretches from Europe to China, supplying from vast resources its petroleum and gas by pipeline to Western and world markets via the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and simultaneously by direct pipeline to China. Economically, politically and socially Kazakhstan is increasingly seen as an exemplar of prosperity, sound management, national - albeit ethnically diverse - cohesion, and international sagacity befitting its pivotal geo-political position.Born into a family of transhumant herders of eastern Kazakhstan in July 1940, Nursultan Nazarbayev is now the President of Kazakhstan.
This first volume of Margaret Thatcher's memoirs encompasses the whole of her time as Prime Minister - the formation of her goals in the early 1980s, the Falklands, the General Election victories of 1983 and 1987 and, eventually, the circumstances of her fall from political power. She also gives frank accounts of her dealings with foreign statesmen and her own ministers.
10, Downing Street Mémoires
Bu bir deneme değil, eleştirel bir inceleme de değil. Yüreğimden kopanı karşılıklı paylaştığımız heyecanlı bir içtenlikle kâğıda döküyorum. Sana sesleniyorum, Fedor. Bir yazar hiçbir zaman kendine ait değildir: Sen, benim damarlarımda dolaşan kanda yaşıyorsun, sorduğun sorular sinir hücrelerime işlenmiş. Sen benim için, kendinden sonra gelenlere yapıtlarıyla yol gösteren bir usta olmakla kalmadan; bunun hep ötesindeydin; ciğerlerime çektiğim hava oldun. Ben, senin yarattığın kişilerden biriyim, Fedor. Kitaplarını yutarcasına okuyan o şaşkın çocuklardan biri olmakla başladım işe. Sana on üç-on dört yaşlarında Barcelona'da rastladım ve ilk bakışta tanıdım, çünkü doğduğumdan beri senin içinde yaşıyordum ben. Senin adını, Fedya, ilk romanımın, Çağımızın Çocuğu'nun ilk sayfasına yazdım. Beni senden daha iyi kim anlayabilirdi? Michel del Castillo, ustası Dostoyevski'ye Kardeşim Budala'da böyle sesleniyor. Ve roman, eleştirel deneme, yaşamöyküsü olmayan, ama hepsinden izler taşıyan bu kitabı bitirdiğimizde, aralarındaki diyaloğun sona ermediğini, `suçlarından' ve `cezalarından' birbirlerine sonsuza kadar fısıldayarak söz etmeyi sürdüreceklerini hissediyoruz. Aralarına girmiş biz okurlara da kitabı kapatıp usulca geri çekilmek düşüyor.
