Shaun Micallef 
President’s Desk [EPUB ebook] 

Ajutor

The President’s Desk is the story of America as seen through the eyes of its most powerful piece of furniture. Standing in the most important office in the land for over a hundred years, it has been sat at by no less than twenty-four of the greatest men who ever lived (I’m leaving out Nixon, obviously). This epic retelling of the history of the United States takes us from the desk’s early life as the humble timbers of a barquentine frozen in the waters of the Arctic, through its transformation by decree of Queen Victoria, to over a century in the Oval Office as an eventual antique.Written by Shaun Micallef – Australia’s answer to Doris Kearns Goodwin (assuming the question was very badly worded) – The President’s Desk is a daring nudie run across the political landscape of the *world’s most beloved superpower.’Shaun Micallef has a gift for the surreal. The English language is a sunlit garden. Shaun has a Harley-Davidson and a cast-iron alibi. He will be home by nightfall. You may hear some noise. It will be made by you. You will feel much better afterwards.’ John Clarke
