Barack Hussein Obama Orden de los libros (cronológico)

This moving collection of letters, diary entries, and writings offers a rare glimpse into Nelson Mandela's life through his own voice—direct, clear, and private. An international bestseller, it serves as an intensely personal complement to his autobiography. In the foreword, President Barack Obama notes that it provides an extraordinary picture of Mandela the man. The book reveals the darkest hours of Mandela's twenty-seven years of imprisonment, his troubled dreams on Robben Island, and includes drafts of an unfinished sequel to his autobiography, notes from his famous speeches, and even doodles from meetings. It features photos from his life, journals from his time on the run during the anti-apartheid struggles, and nearly 70 hours of recorded conversations with friends. This intimate journey traces the evolution of his political conscience and his pivotal role on the world stage. Critics have noted its emotional depth, with one calling it more revealing than his autobiography, while another describes it as a work that breaks the heart and then makes it sing. The narrative is intensely moving, blending personal reflections with significant historical events, providing the fullest picture yet of Mandela.

Premier président noir des États-Unis, Barack Obama incarne le renouveau du rêve américain. Il raconte son accession au Sénat, partage sa vision de l’avenir, et prône une politique qui dépasse le clivage entre républicains et démocrates, pour revenir aux principes fondateurs de la Constitution : la liberté, la recherche du bonheur et le droit à la vie. Barack Obama a été élu président des États-Unis d’Amérique le 4 novembre 2008. Avant L’Audace d’espérer, il avait écrit Les Rêves de mon père, classé dans la liste des meilleures ventes du New York Times.

In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father, a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man, has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey, first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance

The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama's call for a new kind of politics - a politics that builds upon those shared understandings that pull us together as Americans. Lucid in his vision of America's place in the world, refreshingly candid about his family life and his time in the Senate, Obama here sets out his political convictions and inspires us to trust in the dogged optimism that has long defined us and that is our best hope going forward.
