Michael Moore

El estoicismo ha ganado durante los últimos años cada vez más popularidad, debido a que ofrece consejos sobre cómo enfrentar cualquier cosa que la vida te ponga por delante. Pero, ¿cuáles son los conceptos centrales del estoicismo? Y, sobre todo, ¿como podemos aplicarlos a nuestra vida cotidiana? En esta guia informativa, Michael Moore habla de todo esto y mucho mas, mientras lleva al lector en un recorrido por la historia de esta filosofia antigua, desde sus origenes entre los pensadores griegos y romanos de la antiguedad hasta su aplicacion en la actualidad. Explorando las ideas de pensadores tan influyentes como Zenon de Citio, Seneca y Marco Aurelio, Moore explica que significa realmente vivir una vida virtuosa y muestra como puedes aplicar estas ideas atemporales a tu propia experiencia vital.

El inimitable e inolvidable Michael Moore vuelve con una astuta, divertida y escandalosa guía sobre democracia y elecciones. Activista político, periodista y cineasta estadounidense. Gracias a su pelicula Roger y yo, Michael Moore consiguio gran relevancia en su pais logrando unanimes criticas favorables. Tras realizar y escribir la serie The Awful Truth publico Stupid White Men y Wheres my Country? ambos editados por Penguin Books.

Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections. We need UN observers, UN troops". Moore's ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi's non-violent shame tactics) to over-the-top: blacks should put inflatable white dolls in their cars so racist cops will think they're chauffeurs; the ever-more-Republicanesque Democratic Party should be sued for fraud; "no contributions toward advancing our civilization ever came out of the South [except Faulkner, Hellman, and RJ Reynolds]," because it's too hot to think straight there; Korean dictator Kim Jong-il "has got to broaden himself beyond porn and John Wayne" by watching better movies, like Dude, Where's My Car?

In his first book in five years, Michael Moore brings us the definitive guide to the 2008 election.After a diastrous war, the failure to catch bin Laden, millions of families who have lost their homes, the Katrina debacle, soaring gas prices feeding record oil company profits, and the largest national debt caused by the biggest spending and borrowing administration in American history, the country has had it with conservatives, right-wingers and Republicans. A thrilling election season is now upon us. Obama vs. McCain. One candidate has promised a presidency different from any other, one that will take us forward to embrace the hope of the 21st century. The other candidate says he has no idea how to use a computer.Welcome to MIKE'S ELECTION GUIDE -- Michael Moore's effort to make sense of the this fall's race for the White House and Congress. In it, Moore answers the nation's most pressing questions: "Why is John McCain so angry?,""Do the Democrats Still Drink from a Sippy Cup and Sleep with the Light On?," Can I get into the Electoral College with only a 2.0 gpa?" and "How many Democrats does it take to lose the most winnable election in American history?"It's a great year to be an American and a voter. Don't miss out on all the fun! And don't miss out on MIKE'S ELECTION GUIDE -- it's the indispensable book that belongs in every American's back pocket this season.

Michael Moore-Oscar-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, the nation's unofficial provocateur laureate-is back, this time taking on an entirely new role, that of his own meta-Forest Gump. Breaking the autobiographical mode, he presents twenty-four far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his own early life. One moment he's an eleven-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with a dazed and confused Ronald Reagan. Fast-forwarding to 2003, he stuns the world by uttering the words "We live in fictitious times . . . with a fictitious president" in place of the expected "I'd like to thank the Academy."

Michael Moore has established himself as someone who just won't shut up, go away, or otherwise do what political and corporate fat cats would like him to do. He lifts the veil on the people who set themselves up as role models and exposes their vulnerable underbellies

In his latest book Dude, Where's My Country? -a polemic against President Bush- liberal gadfly Michael Moore again demonstrates why he has a reputation as a slipshod journalist who has trouble getting his facts right.Moore established his reputation for playing fast and loose with the truth in his first film, the 1989 documentary 'Roger and Me,' centering on General Motors layoffs in his hometown of Flint, Michigan. As the New Yorker's Pauline Kael wrote at the time, he manipulated the chronology of his film, implying that certain events were a response to GM's large 1986 layoffs when in fact they had occurred years before.

Michael Moore, incubo degli "Stupid White Men" di tutto il pianeta, e tornato piu scatenato che mai con un obiettivo semplice e chiaro, per nulla ambizioso: l'uomo che si e intrufolato nella Casa Bianca grazie all'aiuto non proprio disinteressato dei suoi amici petrolieri deve sloggiare. Ma nell'occhio del ciclone non c'e solo il povero George W.: gli tengono compagnia sulla graticola quei famelici megaboss delle multinazionali che hanno rubato miliardi dai risparmi e dalle pensioni dei loro dipendenti, quei legislatori che hanno fatto a pezzi le liberta civili americane in nome della "sicurezza della patria", nonche quel certo cognato destrorso che riesce, un anno dopo l'altro, a rovinare i pranzi di famiglia con le sue idiozie.

Fahrenheit 9/11, una de las películas más polémicas y provocativas del año, aborda la investigación del oscarizado Michael Moore sobre las acciones de la Administración Bush en relación con los trágicos acontecimientos del 11-S. Con su caracteristica ironia, Moore toma en consideracion la presidencia de Bush y la posicion en la que ha puesto al pueblo norteamericano y, con ello, a todo elmundo. Ganadora de la Palma de Oro del Festival de Cannes en su edicion 2004.
