Download or read book Magna Carta written by Dan Jones and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dan Jones has an enviable gift for telling a dramatic story while at the same time inviting us to consider serious topics like liberty and the seeds of representative government." —Antonia Fraser From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plantagenets, a lively, action-packed history of how the Magna Carta came to be—by the author of Powers and Thrones. The Magna Carta is revered around the world as the founding document of Western liberty. Its principles—even its language—can be found in our Bill of Rights and in the Constitution. But what was this strange document and how did it gain such legendary status? Dan Jones takes us back to the turbulent year of 1215, when, beset by foreign crises and cornered by a growing domestic rebellion, King John reluctantly agreed to fix his seal to a document that would change the course of history. At the time of its creation the Magna Carta was just a peace treaty drafted by a group of rebel barons who were tired of the king's high taxes, arbitrary justice, and endless foreign wars. The fragile peace it established would last only two months, but its principles have reverberated over the centuries. Jones's riveting narrative follows the story of the Magna Carta's creation, its failure, and the war that subsequently engulfed England, and charts the high points in its unexpected afterlife. Reissued by King John's successors it protected the Church, banned unlawful imprisonment, and set limits to the exercise of royal power. It established the principle that taxation must be tied to representation and paved the way for the creation of Parliament. In 1776 American patriots, inspired by that long-ago defiance, dared to pick up arms against another English king and to demand even more far-reaching rights. We think of the Declaration of Independence as our founding document but those who drafted it had their eye on the Magna Carta.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The sculpture depicts a story from Roman mythology. One version goes like this: Pluto offends Venus, the goddess of love, and is punished by being transformed into a love-like madness. Proserpine, the daughter of the goddess Ceres, is nearby picking flowers. #2 The sculpture of Proserpine is alive. Her body is strong, and she torques it forcefully against the god, trying to free herself. She smashes the hardest part of her palm into Pluto’s face. She is stupefied by awe, aversion, and desire. #3 I was six when I held my father’s hand as he followed a red-haired woman around a department store. She was a stranger, but she regarded my father with a knowledge I didn’t understand. I watched my father follow her around the store, and I was confused. #4 I was approached by a stranger who told me that the most beautiful part of the museum was the building itself. I didn’t agree, but I was polite. He went on to explain that people don’t realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Book excerpt: Woman scorned? Maybe.When award-winning songwriter Dillon Blake heads to Paris to see country music star Klein Matthews perform in concert, she has a bit of an ax to grind with her soon-to-be ex-husband Josh Cummings. She's considering starting her own Nashville publishing company, and her first goal is to sign Klein away from Josh. After all, Dillon is the one who brought Klein to his attention seven years ago after hearing him play at the Bluebird Cafe in a writers' round. She's not proud of her motivation, but then Josh robbed her of any desire to play fair when he'd had an affair with a Vanderbilt co-ed.What Dillon hasn't taken into consideration, though, is the fact that seeing Klein again reminds her of the intense attraction she'd felt for him the first night they'd met. She'd been married to Josh then and spent a number of counseling sessions addressing her guilt for the thoughts she'd had about him, but had finally agreed with her therapist that it was okay to be attracted to someone as long as you didn't act on it.But so much has changed since then. Dillon's failed marriage has made her question everything she thought to be true about vows and commitment. And she's in the city of love, staying in the same luxury hotel as Klein. The attraction is still there, despite the therapy sessions. Turns out, he's attracted to her, too. The question is, do they act on it? Or not?
