Michael Moore

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."

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.

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.

Michael Moore is the scourge of "Stupid White Men" everywhere. He's taken on fat cats, gun nuts, lying politicians. Now he's targetting President Bush and the American Republicans.

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.

Despite the high approval ratings of President George Dubya Bush, Americans are still going out in droves to buy a book that calls him (among many other things) 'thief-in-chief' and a 'squatter at the Oval office'. Michael Moore's book, Stupid White Men, takes both Bush to task and the country that elected him (if indeed it did elect him - Moore ridicules America's ability to hold free and fair elections without U.N observers). He describes America as a country that 'goes out of its way to remain ignorant and stupid'. The book has not only topped the bestseller list in the US, but has also sold strongly in the UK through online booksellers. It probably isn't just what Moore calls 'the Bush family junta' buying up all the copies to keep them off the shelves.

From the world's foremost intellectual activist, here is an irrefutable analysis of America's pursuit of total domination and the catastrophic consequences that are sure to follow. The United States is in the process of staking out not just the globe, but the last unarmed spot in our neighbourhood - the skies - as a militarized sphere of influence. Our earth and its skies are, for the Bush administration, the final frontiers of imperial control. In Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky explains how we came to this moment, what kind of peril we find ourselves in, and why our rulers are willing to jeopardize the future of our species. In our era, Chomsky argues, empire is a recipe for an earthly wasteland.

THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO FAHRENHEIT 9/11 The Cannes Film Festival jury voted unanimously to award the 2004 Best Picture Award to Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11. Since then it has gone on to smash all box office records for a documentary and created an international discussion about the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. "The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader" is a powerful and informative book that includes the complete screenplay of the most provocative film of the year. The book also includes extensive sources that back up all facts in the film, as well as articles, letters, photos, and cartoons about the most influential documentary of all time.

Ricevendo l''Oscar 2003 per "Bowling a Columbine" Michael Moore ha pronunciato un discorso fortemente polemico nei confronti della politica statunitense e della guerra che gli Stati Uniti hanno mosso all''Iraq. In questo volume il regista offre un ritratto impietoso del suo Paese, molto diverso dalle oleografie ufficiali fatte di supremazia tecnologica e prosperita diffusa, attaccando in modo diretto e irriverente la giunta Bush, svelando truffe elettorali e connivenze dei giudici.

Will They Ever Trust Us Again? brings together hundreds of never-before-published letters that Mike has been sent from GIs serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, from troops in US bases, from their mothers, wives and friends back home, from veterans who've fought around the globe to show the reality beneath the political spin and TV propaganda. Their politics may vary from the Bushwhacked to the patriotic, but they all feel let down and lied to by government, they know the human cost of waging wars for the rich and now they've had enough. Explosive, angry, moving and funny, this book shows who's really winning the battle for hearts and minds on the front line.

El best-séller internacional Estúpidos hombres blancos es fruto de la versatilidad y el talento creador de su autor, Michael Moore, afamado escritor y cineasta norteamericano que en 2002 consiguió el Oscar a la mejor pelicula documental por Bowling for Columbine. Como aquella, este libro es una divertida satira politica, una obra lucida y vigorosa cuya lectura no deja indifente. Para los estadounidenses supone la condena despiadada de su actual Gobierno y de la hipocresia de una sociedad que incluso ha intentado censurar la obra que ahora tiene en sus manos.
