検索キーワード： 著者 "David Hume" 自伝・回顧録

Sent blind soon after birth, David Hume stubbornly refused to live the limited life well-meaning elders and social norms expected. To date, that encompasses years in a blind institute, two marriages, grieving for two outstanding wives, founding recruiting firms, devising marketing techniques, facing business collapse, sailing ocean races, and through much of it, being the lead singer in popular bands. If you enjoy a short biography that inspires, saddens, cheers, and sticks in your memory, then don't put aside Blind Without Barriers.

The second volume of David Hume's classic survey of English history covers nearly 300 years (1200-1485) from the long reign of Henry III to the dramatic end of Richard III on Bosworth Field—he was the last Plantagenet, and the last king of England to die in battle. In telling this all-action tale, Hume delves deeply into contemporary records and presents a considered, even sympathetic view, showing that many factors, not just personalities, resulted in dramatic consequences for the nation.
