Sobre IBD

This is Phillip Guedalla’s 1937 biographical book, 'Palmerston'. Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston (1784 - 1865) was a British politician who served twice as Prime Minister in the nineteenth century. This detailed biography delves deep into the life and mind of this remarkably astute, vigorous, and candid statesman who managed to keep England ’on course’ during the international visionary-liberal and reactionary waves of the first half of the Victorian era. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of English politics, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of allied literature. Philip Guedalla (1889 - 1944) was a British biographer and travel writer. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...

These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...
