Autor Jacob Abbott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2009
Jacob Abbott was born in Hallowell, Maine in 1803. He was a writer of children's books. Abbott was professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Amherst College. In 1829 he founded the Mount Vernon School for Young Ladies in Boston. Abbott was also a Congregational minister. His writing encompasses juvenile fiction, brief histories, biographies, religious books for the general reader, and a few works in popular science. Cleopatra's beauty shaped history. Julius Caesar bowed before her. Antony lost everything when he followed her. It was Octavius who finally was her match. Her biography is an invaluable look into the history of the ancient world.

Notă biografică

Jacob Abbott (1803-1879) was an American author, educator, minister, and writer of history and moral instruction for young readers. Born in Hallowell, Maine, he graduated from Bowdoin College and later studied at Andover Theological Seminary. Abbott worked as a teacher and school administrator before turning increasingly to writing, where he became one of the most prolific and widely read American authors of the nineteenth century.Abbott wrote hundreds of books, many of them intended for children, students, and family reading. His works combined clear prose, orderly structure, moral reflection, and a strong sense of narrative, making history and biography accessible to readers who might otherwise find the subjects remote or difficult. He is especially remembered for the Rollo books and for his long series of biographies of famous historical figures, including rulers, military leaders, explorers, and reformers.His historical biographies were designed less as specialist scholarship than as readable introductions to major figures and periods. In books such as Alfred the Great, Darius the Great, Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Hannibal, Abbott helped shape the way nineteenth-century American readers encountered world history and biography. His works remain of interest to homeschoolers, classical education programs, collectors of traditional juvenile history, and readers who value straightforward narrative history.
