President Bill Clintons My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White Housea journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor. We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil rights, and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life. We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youthborn after his fathers death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took; drawn to the brilliant, compelling Hillary Rodham, whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, Chelsea, and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior. President Clintons book is also the fullest, most concretelydetailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever writtenencompassing not only the high points and crises but the way the presidency actually works: the day-to-day bombardment of problems, personalities, conflicts, setbacks, achievements. It is a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals. It is the gripping account of a president under concerted and unrelenting assault orchestrated by his enemies on the Far Right, and how he survived and prevailed. It is a treasury of moments caught alive, among them: The ten-year-old boy watching th

Figura emblemática de la política alemana y europea durante los últimos tres lustros, desde que en 2005 tomó las riendas de su país como canciller, Angela Merkel ha sabido superar con firmeza y serenidad momentos dificiles para su pais y para el continente europeo. Los discursos pronunciados en diversas ocasiones oficiales dan fe del liderazgo de una mujer que se formo como cientifica en el mundo comunista en la antigua Alemania del Este, y cuya trayectoria politica ascendente, refrendada una y otra vez por los ciudadanos, la han convertido en uno de los personajes mas influyentes a nivel global. Este volumen recoge algunas de sus intervenciones mas incisivas y memorables, entre los años 2014 y 2020, y nos permite entender los retos que la han acompañado durante su mandato: de los riesgos derivados del cambio climatico al futuro de las nuevas generaciones, de las responsabilidades de Alemania con las victimas de la Shoah a su papel fundamental en la Europa de hoy. Situando siempre la dignidad de las personas en un lugar preponderante de la politica.

"És difícil de fer el seu retrat. Lenin, exteriorment, era tot de paraules tal com el peix és tot d escata. Era simple i dret com tot el que deia. El seu heroisme, despullat gairebé per complet d esclat exterior, era aquella abnegacio modesta, ascetica, frequent en l intel·lectual rus, en el revolucionari que creu sincerament en la possibilitat de la justicia damunt la terra; era l heroisme de l home que ha renunciat a totes les joies de l univers per tal de treballar durament per la felicitat dels homes."Maksim Gorki El llibre que tens a les mans es la traduccio al catala de l obra & 1051;& 1077;& 1085;& 1080;& 1085; que es va escriure just despres de la mort de Lenin el 1924 pel gran escriptor rus Maksim Gorki qui intenta portar-nos la visio mes humana (i humanista) del lider de la revolucio sovietica.

An enormous success in France and a media sensation around the world, Yasmina Rezas Dawn, Dusk or Night will startle English-language readers with its utterly unorthodox (and candid and witty) portrait of a man in his quest for ultimate power. In 2006, Yasmina Reza, the most celebrated playwright in France, asked Nicolas Sarkozy a simple question: Would he allow her to spend the next year with him and his team as he campaigned for the French presidency? His response was an unqualified yes. To the alarm of his advisers, and the consternation of many of her friends, who feared she was making a pact with the devil, she picked up her notebook and her pencil, and off she went. It is not enough to say that she was an observer of Sarkozys rise to power. Rather, hers is the account of a brilliant woman of letters dancing in orbit with the most powerful man in France. Their casual exchanges, her remarkable insights, their phenomenal experience exist as a play of words and glances, framed as scenes from a headlong drama. Through the greenrooms, bus rides, and flights, along the campaign trail; in strategy sessions and at meetings with heads of state;, in all hours of the day and night, they develop a relationship that knows no parallel, bridging the arts and politics, abiding within a purely intellectual sphere without judgment, conflict, or competition.

Authoritative, timely, and provocative, this deeply researched biography of Donald Trump provides a complex portrait of the man whodespite broad skepticismcould be the next president of the United States.Who is Donald J. Trump? Despite decades of scrutiny, many aspects of his life are not well known. To discover Trump in full, The Washington Post assembled a team of award-winning reporters and researchers to delve into every aspect of Trumps improbable life, from his privileged upbringing in Queens to his astonishing 2016 rise to seize the Republican candidacy for president. Coauthored by Washington Post investigative political reporter Michael Kranish and senior editor Marc Fisher, this comprehensive book documents Trumps fascinating family roots, his aggressive efforts to make a name for himself in New York social circles, and his penchant for big betson real estate, branded businesses, and, ultimately, on himself. The authors, seasoned journalists who interviewed Trump for this book, scrutinize everything from his youthful alliance with the power broker Roy Cohn to his alleged dealings with organized crime and his controversial projects in New York City, Atlantic City, Florida, Scotland, and Azerbaijan. The authors examine Trumps wealth, the evolution of his political beliefs, and his peculiar identity as a billionaire businessman, celebrity, global brand, television star, and now candidate for the most powerful office in the world. Few individuals have ever roamed so widely through such diverse realms as real estate, sports, entertainment, and national politics. How has Trumps life informed his bold statements on the economy, immigration, race, global trade, terrorism, and women? Drawn from in-depth reporting by The Washington Post, Trump Revealed is essential reading as the 2016 American presidential election looms.
