A Man of Few Words - The Life and Works of Thomas Jefferson Doe

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In this groundbreaking biography, we explore the life and legacy of Thomas Jefferson Doe, a man of few words who left an indelible mark on American history and culture. From his humble beginnings in Virginia to his rise to the presidency, Doe's story is one of triumph, tragedy, and enduring influence.

Through his writings, speeches, and actions, Doe helped to shape the course of American democracy. As a Founding Father, he penned the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the inherent rights of all people to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As President, he oversaw the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, and signed the Embargo Act of 1807, which prohibited American ships from trading with foreign countries.

But Doe was also a complex and contradictory figure. He was a slave owner who wrote eloquently about the evils of slavery. He was a brilliant politician who distrusted political power. He was a man of few words who left behind a vast body of writings that continue to inspire and challenge us today.

This book delves into the many facets of Doe's life and legacy. It explores his political career, his personal life, and his impact on American culture. It also examines the controversies that have surrounded Doe in recent years, including his ownership of slaves and his treatment of Native Americans.

Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, this biography offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important figures in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Thomas Jefferson Doe.

Me & Issy - A Four Seasons Romance

Rosalie Wise Sharp

The rags to riches tale of a larger-than-life romance of over seven decades
		 
Me & Issy is a love story about how a troubled and deprived child chanced to meet a man who worshipped her, brought her a fantasy life of four boys and extraordinary opulence — and banished her self-doubt. She in turn was awestruck and mystified by his acumen and daring during his founding of the Four Seasons Hotels.
		 
Beginning with her childhood in North Toronto, in a very Jewish home surrounded by non-Jews, Rosalie enchants us with anecdotes about her family, Isadore Sharp’s family, and the growth of their own in the light of the expanding Four Seasons chain. How did she go to the Ontario College of Art & Design while simultaneously raising four rambunctious boys? How did Issy open hotel after hotel with only his collateral of confidence and charisma? Rosalie is a rapt follower of his astonishing success and the first fan of his legendary town hall talks to 40,000 employees.
		 
And with success came tragedy. The devastating death of their son Chris shook them, but they coped. Here, all of Rosalie’s life is opened up for viewing, the good and the bad, the success and the failures, but especially her inspired romance with Issy. In the words of their second eldest son, Greg, “Their mutual love and respect growing stronger over the past 69 years is as extraordinary as it is beautiful.”
