Publisher's Synopsis
The art of speaking in public, of communicating, of convincing and persuading is not the prerogative of the language of Voltaire. The Africans, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons had devoted a codified and fascinating cult to it. For Christian believers, the word is a source of demiurge energy, the basis of all existence!The word, this marvellous gift, in all human societies, ennobles us or on the contrary, burdens us. In this, ESOPE presents us with language as the best or worst of things.The schematic form of the book has its origins in the interpersonal use of communication, since the medium is more likely to be developed when speaking to audiences of any size.The book opens with general conceptual theories, then offers useful strategies and references. Further on, you have the list of compatriots of all social categories living or posthumously, personalities who have distinguished themselves by the quality of their oratory verve.
