IN LINCOLN'S HAND(ISBN=9780553807424) 英文原版 azw3 chm 地址 kindle 阿里云 下载 umd pdf

　　On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s

birth and in conjunction with the Library of Congress 2009

Bicentennial Exhibition, In Lincoln’s Hand offers an unprecedented

look at perhaps our greatest president through vivid images of his

handwritten letters, speeches, and even childhood notebooks—many

never before made available to the public.

Edited by leading Lincoln scholars

Wolf Shenk and Harold

Holzer, this companion volume to the Library of Congress exhibition

offers a fresh and intimate perspective on a man whose thoughts and

words continue to affect history. To underscore the resonance of

Lincoln’s writings on contemporary culture, each manu* is

accompanied by a reflection on Lincoln by a prominent American from

the arts, politics, literature, or entertainment, including Toni

Morrison, Sam Waterston, Robert Pinsky, Gore Vidal, and presidents

Carter, George H.W., and George W. Bush.

While Lincoln’s words are quite well known, the original

manu*s boast a unique power and beauty and provide rare

insight into the creative process. In this collection we can see

the ebb and flow of Lincoln’s thoughts, emotions, hopes, and

doubts. We can see where he paused to dip his pen in the ink or to

capture an idea. We can see where he added a word or phrase, and

where he crossed out others, searching for the most precise, and

concise, expression. In these marks on the page, Lincoln’s

character is available to us with a profound immediacy. From such

icons as the Gettysburg Address and the inaugural speeches to

seldom-seen but superb rarities, here is the world as Lincoln saw

and shaped it in words and images that resound to this very

day.
