Margaret Thatcher, arguable the most significant figure of the late-twentieth-century British politics, died on 8 April 2013. Combining and abridging her memoirs 'The Path to Power' and 'The Downing Street Years', this definitive account of Margaret Thatcher's life is published as a one volume commemorative edition.
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.
Britain's first female Prime Minister - and the only British Prime Minister of the 20th century to win three consecutive general elections - shares her story as only she can in this engaging memoir.
In The Downing Street Wars, Margaret Thatcher gave her own account of her prime ministership from 1979 to 1990. That book justly became a bestseller all over the world. Now, in The Path to Power, she writes for the first time about her personal life, about the formation of her character and values, and about the training and experiences which led to the 1979 election victory
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, which encompasses the entirety of her career as Prime Minister. Margaret Thatcher is the towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics. No other prime minister of modern times has sought to change Britain and its place in the world as radically as she did. This is the story of her remarkable life in her own words. This first volume of her memoirs is a riveting first-hand portrait of the events and personalities of her eleven years in power. She recalls the triumphs and the critical moments of her premiership - the Falklands War, the miners' strike, the Brighton bomb, the Westland Affair and her unprecedented three election victories. Her judgements of the men and women she encountered, whether world statesmen or Cabinet colleagues, are astonishingly frank. She is lavish with praise where it is due; devastating with criticism when it is not. The book reaches a gripping climax with an hour-by-hour description from inside 10 Downing Street of her dramatic final days in office. Margaret Thatcher's compelling account stands as a powerful testament to her extraordinary legacy.
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.
