The collection is the result of the work of several translators, including Miloš Đurić and Vjera Bakotić-Mijušković, who carefully translated the speeches into Serbian, preserving their original rhetorical power and style. The foreword by Živojin Simić provides context and analysis of the significance of oratory throughout history, highlighting its role in shaping social and political change.

The book not only documents historical speeches, but also stimulates reflection on the role of oratory in the contemporary world.
