Описание: #1 New York Times Bestseller President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of the 42nd U.S. president, 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 House--a 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 youth--born after his father's 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 Clinton's book is also the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written--encompassing 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 the national political conventions on his family's new (and first) television set. - The young candidate looking for votes in the Arkansas hills and the local seer who tells him, "Anybody who would campaign at a beer joint in Joiner at midnight on Saturday night deserves to carry one box. . . . You'll win here. But it'll be the only damn place you win in this county." (He was right on both counts.) - The roller-coaster ride of the 1992 campaign. - The extraordinarily frank exchanges with Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole. - The delicate manipulation needed to convince Rabin and Arafat to shake hands for the camera while keeping Arafat from kissing Rabin. - The cost, both public and private, of the scandal that threatened the presidency. Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions, told openly, directly, in his own completely recognizable voice. A unique book by a unique American.

Mi vida, del presidente Clinton, es un impresionante y sorprendentemente honesto retrato de un l der global que decidi cuando era joven que dedicar a sus dotes intelectuales y pol ticos, y su extraordinaria capacidad para el trabajo duro, al servicio de los ciudadanos. Nos muestra el avance de un americano notable que, gracias a sus enormes energ as y su esfuerzo, logr realizar el improbable viaje desde Hope, Arkansas, hasta la Casa Blanca -- un trayecto alimentado por su apasionado inter s en el proceso pol tico que se manifest en cada etapa de su vida: en la universidad, trabajando como becario para el senador William Fulbright; en Oxford, cuando form parte del movimiento de protesta contra la guerra de Vietnam en la facultad de Derecho de Yale, haciendo campa a a nivel de base para los candidatos dem cratas; y de nuevo en Arkansas, cuando se present candidato al Congreso, a fiscal general y al cargo de gobernador.
A lo largo de esta obra, somos testigos de c mo su carrera pol tica se forj a partir de su decidida voluntad de mejorar la vida de sus conciudadanos, un compromiso firme con el avance de los derechos civiles, y una excepcional capacidad de comprender los detalles pr cticos de la vida pol tica. Tambi n llegamos a comprender las presiones emocionales a las que se vio sometido en su juventud, desde su nacimiento tras la temprana muerte de su padre, hasta la dif cil situaci n que vivi , atrapado en una relaci n disfuncional entre su en rgica madre que tanto se preocup de l, y un padrastro maltratador al que jam s dej de querer, y cuyo nombre adopt . Asistimos a la atracci n que sinti por la brillante e irresistible Hillary Rodham, con la cual decidi casarse, y a la apasionada devoci n, desde su infancia, a su hija Chelsea, as como a toda la experiencia de la paternidad. Y tambi n, c mo lenta y dolorosamente, empieza a comprender que su temprana negaci n del dolor en ocasiones le arrastr a pautas de conducta da inas. El libro del presidente Clinton es tambi n la narraci n m s completa, matizada y con m s detalles concretos de una presidencia que se ha escrito jam s, abarcando no s--lo los momentos m s destacados de las crisis sino tambi n la manera en que la presidencia funciona realmente: el bombardeo cotidiano de problemas, personalidades, conflictos, reveses y xitos.Es un testamento acerca del impacto positivo que su labor y sus ideales tuvieron en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Es el emocionante relato de un presidente sometido a un asalto implacable y concertado, orquestado por sus enemigos de la extrema derecha, as' como la historia de c mo sobrevivo y termin por prevalecer sobre todo ello. Estamos ante un tesoro de momentos capturados en toda su vivacidad, entre ellos: - El ni o de diez a os contemplando las convenciones pol ticas nacionales en el nuevo (y primer) aparato de televisi n familiar. - La monta a rusa que fue la campa a de 1992. - Las conversaciones extraordinariamente francas con Newt Gingrich y Bob Dole. - La delicada manipulaci n necesaria para convencer a Rabin y Arafat de que se dieran la mano frente a las c maras, a la vez que deb a evitarse que Arafat besara a Rabin. - El coste, tanto p blico como privado, del esc ndalo que amenaza-- a la presidencia. Nos hallamos frente a la vida de una destacada figura nacional e internacional, que nos es revelada con todos sus talentos y contradicciones, contada abiertamente, con su voz personal y reconocible. Un libro excepcional de un americano excepcional.
