Features: From a deeper perspective, we cannot dedicate this land. These brave men, living and the dead, have consecrated it here with their heads and blood, far beyond what our humble power can add or detract. The world may not long remember what we say here, but what they did will never be forgotten. For those of us who are living, we must continue to dedicate ourselves to the great cause they left unfinished. They fought here, and so gloriously advanced this great cause of the land. We must dedicate ourselves unhesitatingly to the great task before us. From these noble dead, we must draw the spirit of sacrifice, for they have shed their last drop of blood here. Here, we resolve that these noble sacrifices shall not be in vain. This nation, under God's mercy, will have a new birth of freedom: this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln, a farmer who emerged from the wild and remote forests of Kentucky, USA, an ordinary man born into poverty and without support, ultimately became one of the greatest presidents in the hearts of the American people. Moreover, around the world, many regard him as an idol. So, where does Lincoln's charm come from? People long to understand this great figure more comprehensively and intricately. Based on this expectation, we present the masterpieces of Lincoln in four parts to the readers.
In the "Autobiography," we see Lincoln's vivid and simple portrayal of his life before becoming president, understanding his early difficult and turbulent life and his relentless efforts to persevere in the face of adversity. The "Poetry and Prose Collection" fully reveals the tender and delicate heart hidden beneath his clumsy exterior, while the heartfelt and sincere poems also leave one marveling at his outstanding literary talent. Throughout his letters, his kind, humble, and generous human nature shines through. In the "Speeches Collection," in addition toing his few renowned speeches, the editor has also selected other equally brilliant speeches that may not be as well-known but are no less remarkable. His profound thoughts, unique insights, and unwavering beliefs, even after a century of time, still possess a powerful and moving force, making every reading a spiritual baptism.
The entire book is arranged in a bilingual Chinese-English format, allowing every reader to directly recite every brilliant sentence carefully crafted by Lincoln, truly feel the sincere emotions that resonate between the lines, and enjoy the authentic American English in its purest form.
