Resumen del Editor

On May 15, 2003, David McCullough presented "The Course of Human Events" as The 2003 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in Washington, DC. The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history.

In this short speech, this master historian tracks his fascination with all things historical to his early days in Pittsburgh where he "learned to love history by way of books" in bookshops and at the local library.

McCullough eloquently leads us through the founding fathers' attraction to history, letting us in on his composition of 1776 as well as the Pulitzer Prize-winning John Adams. His obvious affection for history is inspiring, because it encompasses the whole reach of the human drama. In McCullough's able hands, history truly "is a larger way of looking at life".

A must listen to:

A beautiful read by the author himself, this speech pertains to all of us working and living today. He speaks to the human heart and our need to live outside of ourselves, to connect with each other, and to realize the support of our past as inspiration for building our future. Inspiring, uplifting, and real.

Value the time the servants for history gave us.

McCullough looks carefully into times served for humans, not just humanity. He brings the scattered tangents of many lives to define the shape of our common time, and reassures us that we may leave a tangent because by definition: a tangent is a single point on a line (straight between two points) touching a circle at a single point. The several tangents may have nothing else in common with each other than the circle they define.

Great reminder

David McCullough does a great job to remind us all of the ongoing benefits that were earned for us so many years ago. And the ongoing responsibilities that we have to learn about them and defend them. So, on we go…

Outstanding!

I was not sure what to expected from this reading since it was so short. The speech was excellent and ignited a desire in me to read more of the author’s works about the founding of our country. It really articulated the reasons we study history.

Short and sweet

A little expensive for something so short, but finally managed to get it on sale! As close to worth it as it can be for the length! Love hearing David’s voice once more

Amazing historical perspective as usual

A master storyteller and historian, David McCullough should be given a Nobel prize for his works on the Revolutionary War.
