Sinopsis

The Complete Works of Thomas Jefferson is a monumental anthology that encapsulates the diverse writings of one of America'Äôs Founding Fathers. Jefferson'Äôs literary style ranges from the lyrical and philosophical to the practical and political, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals that shaped his worldview. This compilation includes letters, essays, and official documents, offering profound insights into his thoughts on government, liberty, and human rights, while also providing a rich historical context of 18th-century America. The work serves as a vital primary source for understanding the principles upon which the United States was founded and the ideological battles that characterized the nascent nation. As the third President of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was profoundly influenced by the Enlightenment, classical philosophy, and his own experiences as a statesman and diplomat. His extensive correspondence and writings reveal his struggles with the contradictions of slavery, democracy, and individual rights, making him a complex figure in American history. Jefferson's commitment to intellectual discourse and his belief in the power of education are palpable throughout his works, fueling his desire to shape an informed citizenry. For readers interested in the foundations of American democracy and the evolution of political thought, The Complete Works of Thomas Jefferson is an indispensable resource. It invites reflection on contemporary issues of governance, ethics, and civil rights, providing a timeless perspective that resonates well beyond its historical setting. Engaging with Jefferson'Äôs writings offers not only a glimpse into a pivotal era but also encourages a critical examination of the values that continue to define the American experience.

    On how our feeling of equilibrium has characterized us as a country and will protect our future. 
    In the years that the creator served in the public parliament he came to figure out the extraordinary person of Australia; to see the value in its assets and shortcomings; and in particular to regard the feeling of equilibrium in the plan of public strategy that has long characterized us as a country and made Australia an appealing objective for individuals from across the world. 
    In this book he investigates this equilibrium, its establishments and its future. Composed against the background of the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as a portion of the more challenged political occasions of late years - the appointment of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the ascent of China, and, inside our own country, a merry go round of six heads of the state in eleven years - these reflections address how Australia has answered strain over the course of the past ten years or somewhere in the vicinity. Editorial regarding these matters from lawmakers, assessment scholars and web-based entertainment can at times appear to be deafening and disruptive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving head of the state has confidence that regardless of what difficulties and limits take steps to agitate our feeling of equilibrium, the nation's foundations and individuals will stay hearty for a significant length of time.

    Tom Nairn has been the most forceful and original mind to confront, de-mask and anatomise the British state. The perception that Great Britain was a multinational state and not a united nation had never quite been lost over the centuries, but it was Nairn who almost single-handedly hammered this truth into the skull of British intellectuals and campaigners until it became – as it is today – practically uncontested by the political class.
    
    NEAL ASCHERSON, London Review of Books
    
    
    For the last fifty years Tom Nairn has been one of Britain's most consistently provocative and influential voices. No other writer has left so deep an impression on mainstream debates about Scotland, Britain and nationalism. No other writer has so thoroughly interrogated the United Kingdom's post-war crisis and decline.
    
    
    Old Nations, Auld Enemies, New Times brings together, for the first time, the full span of Nairn's work, from his ground-breaking analysis of the British state in the 1960s and '70s to his more recent examinations of globalisation, the English question and Scotland's independence referendum.
    
    
    
    Nairn stands alongside the great Scottish intellectual and literary figures of recent decades. Old Nations is the definitive Nairn collection – and an indispensable guide for anyone looking to understand the current moment in Scottish and British politics.
    
    
    For originality of mind, Tom Nairn is without equal among his contemporaries. In fifty years, there has never been a time in my memory in which that he was saying went with the flow of opinion, on the left or at large ... All of this in a style of extraordinary vigour and beauty – and not least humour: writing as democratic as his own unswerving politics. One thinks: if only there were more like him. But that would be a contradiction in terms.
    
    PERRY ANDERSON, New Left Review
    
    Tom Nairn is well known both as a major contributor to debates about Scottish nationalism and the re-configuring of the current UK, and as a supremely thoughtful and witty writer. This collection of his writings illustrates the evolution of his ideas and will be invaluable. Whether one agrees with Nairn or not, his arguments always make one think afresh.

    'I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.'
    
    One of the most-studied pieces of satire in history, 'A Modest Proposal' is a darkly funny yet scathing critique of British colonialism from an Irish lens.
    
    First published in 1729 to much backlash, Swift goes to great lengths to illustrate a potential solution to poverty and overpopulation in Ireland: parents undergoing economic hardship ought to sell their children as food for the upper classes. A masterclass in irony, Swift delves into the financial benefits of his suggestion, even offering numerous ways to prepare babies for consumption. A powerful and shocking criticism of the dire conditions of Ireland and indifference of the British government at the time, 'A Modest Proposal' remains widely read to this day. This audiobook edition is narrated by the talented Malk Williams.
    Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was an Irish writer and satirist, famed for his deadpan style of writing. He is best remembered for his satirical works 'A Modest Proposal (1729) and Gulliver's Travels (1726). A master in the art of irony, future works of satire in his style of hyperbole have subsequently been classed as 'Swiftian'.
