Fine English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 718 p. The great sppech. [= Nutuk]. The Speech (Nutuk), which relates events in the Turkish War of Independence, the foundation of the Turkish Republic and the carrying out of revolutionary reforms, is a work that the founder of the Turkish Republic Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk himself wrote and left to history. This masterpiece which came from Atatürk's own pen, was given the title The Speech due to its being based upon a thirty-six-and-a half hour speech delivered by Atatürk over six days at the Second General Assembly of the Republican People's Party in Ankara between 15-20 November 1927. Later, this valuable documentary source was given the title The Great Speech.

Faint foxing to top of textblock. Tiny chip to head of spine. Minor pencil marginalia to about 7 pages. ; 208 pages; In this penetrating new look at the use of language in the Iliad, Hilary Mackie examines the portrayal of the opposing forces in terms not only of nationality but of linguistics. The way the Greeks and the Trojans speak, Mackie argues, reflects their disparate cultural structures and their relative positions in the Trojan War. While Achaean speech is aggressive and public, intended to preserve social order, Trojan language is more reflective, private, and introspective. Mackie identifies the differences between Greek and Trojan language by analyzing poetic formulas, usually thought to indicate a similarity of language among Homeric characters, and conversations, which are seen here to be of equal importance to the numerous speeches throughout the Iliad. Mackie concludes with analyses of the two great heroes of the Iliad, Hektor and Achilles, and the extent to which they represent their own cultures in their use of language.
