O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "Most of the letters in this volume were written by Theodore Roosevelt to his children during a period of more than twenty years. A few others are included that he wrote to friends or relatives about the children. He began to write to them in their early childhood, and continued to do so regularly till they reached maturity. Whenever he was separated from them, in the Spanish War, or on a hunting trip, or because they were at school, he sent them these messages of constant thought and love, for they were never for a moment out of his mind and heart. Long before they were able to read he sent them what they called "picture letters," with crude drawings of his own in illustration of the written text, drawings precisely adapted to the childish imagination and intelligence. That the little recipients cherished these delightful missives is shown by the tender care with which they preserved them from destruction. They are in good condition after many years of loving usage. A few of them are reproduced in these pages—written at different periods as each new child appeared in the household."
O autoru
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was a multifaceted American icon whose legacy extends far beyond his presidency. Born into a wealthy New York family, Roosevelt overcame childhood illnesses to become a vigorous outdoorsman, historian, and prolific author. His literary contributions include over 35 books, ranging from "The Naval War of 1812" to his autobiography, showcasing his diverse interests in history, politics, and nature.Roosevelt's life was marked by a series of remarkable transformations: from a frail child to a robust adventurer, from a New York City Police Commissioner to the youngest U.S. President at age 42. His presidency (1901-1909) was characterized by progressive reforms, including trust-busting, the establishment of national parks, and the construction of the Panama Canal. He was a champion of the "Square Deal," advocating for consumer protection, corporate regulation, and conservation.Controversially, Roosevelt's imperialistic views, exemplified by his role in the Spanish-American War and his stance on American expansionism, have sparked debate among historians. His complex legacy includes both commendable conservation efforts and contentious foreign policies.Roosevelt's influence on contemporary writers and thinkers is profound. His vivid storytelling and robust persona inspired figures like Ernest Hemingway and John Muir. His revolutionary ideas on conservation and public service continue to resonate, making him a timeless figure of American history. Roosevelt's life, marked by relentless energy and a commitment to public duty, remains a source of inspiration and intrigue for modern readers.
