Kniha - 400 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná (alza.cz)

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Popisuje své politické vzdělávání i přelomové okamžiky prvního funkčního období v prezidentském úřadu a provází čtenáře od svých nejranějších politických ambicí přes zlomové vítězství v prezidentských primárkách v Iowě až po historickou noc 4. listopadu 2008, kdy byl zvolen prezidentem USA a stal se prvním Afroameričanem zastávajícím nejvyšší pozici ve státě. Ve vzpomínkách na své působení v prezidentském úřadu nechává Obama čtenáře nahlédnout do Oválné pracovny Bílého domu, bere je s sebou na cesty do Moskvy, Káhiry nebo Pekingu. Mohou sledovat jeho úvahy při sestavování vlády, v boji se světovou finanční krizí, při překonávání překážek na cestě k prosazení zákona o dostupné zdravotní péči, sporech s generály o americkou strategii v Afghánistánu nebo schválení operace Neptunovo kopí, jež vedla k smrti Usámy bin Ládina. Země zaslíbená je příběh muže, jenž se úspěšně pokusil o nemožné. Prezident Obama líčí, jak se vyrovnával s tím, že se jako první Afroameričan ucházel o prezidentský úřad, čelil obrovským očekáváním, ale současně zápolil s morálními dilematy rozhodování na nejvyšší úrovni. Otevřeně píše o silách, jimž musel vzdorovat doma i v zahraničí, i o tom, jak život v Bílém domě poznamenal jeho manželku a dcery. Tato skvěle napsaná kniha zachycuje Obamovo přesvědčení, že demokracie není darem z nebes, ale musíme ji budovat den za dnem společně. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Mimoriadne introspektívna kniha – príbeh konfrontácie jedného človeka s históriou. Obama úprimne píše o svojich skúsenostiach s kandidatúrou čierneho Američana na funkciu prezidenta, od ktorého celé generácie očakávajú „nádej a zmeny“, o morálnych výzvach, keď má rozhodovať na najvyššej úrovni. Otvorene hovorí o silách, ktoré mu kládli prekážky doma i v zahraničí, aj o tom, ako život v Bielom dome ovplyvnil jeho manželku a dcéry, a nebojí sa odhaliť pochybnosti o sebe samom. Kniha tlmočí presvedčenie Baracka Obamu, že demokracia nie je darom z neba, ale systémom založeným na empatii a spoločnom porozumení, ktoré treba dennodenne budovať. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha: Strhujúce osobné rozprávanie o tom, ako sa tvorí história, z pera prezidenta, ktorý posilnil vieru Američanov v silu demokracie. V dlho očakávanej prvej časti memoárov prináša Barack Obama príbeh neuveriteľnej odysey mladého muža hľadajúceho svoju identitu, ktorý sa nakoniec stane vodcom slobodného sveta. Obama úprimne odkrýva detaily svojho politického vývoja a približuje kľúčové chvíle pôsobenia na poste prezidenta Spojených štátov amerických počas svojho prvého funkčného obdobia – v čase prevratných a dramatických zmien. Pozýva čitateľov na neodolateľnú púť, počnúc najranejšími politickými ambíciami cez rozhodujúce víťazstvo v iowskom volebnom zhromaždení, ktoré ukázalo silu lokálneho aktivizmu, po prelomovú noc 4. novembra 2008, keď sa stal 44. prezidentom Spojených štátov a prvým Afroameričanom na najvyššom poste krajiny. Obama uvažuje o svojom pôsobení v úrade prezidenta a jedinečným spôsobom skúma obrovský dosah aj limity prezidentskej moci. Dovolí nám pritom nazrieť do dynamiky americkej straníckej politiky a medzinárodnej diplomacie. Vezme nás so sebou do Oválnej pracovne aj do Situačnej miestnosti Bieleho domu, zavedie nás do Moskvy, Káhiry, Pekingu a na ďalšie miesta, ktoré navštívil. Prezrádza nám, na čo myslel, keď zostavoval svoj kabinet, bojoval s finančnou krízou, stretol sa s Vladimirom Putinom a s ďalšími štátnikmi. Dozvieme sa, ako prekonal zdanlivo neprekonateľné rozpory pri schvaľovaní zákona o dostupnej starostlivosti, vzoprel sa generálom v otázke americkej stratégie v Afganistane, reformoval Wall Street, zasahoval po ničivej havárii Deepwater Horizon či schválil operáciu Neptúnov trojzubec, ktorá vyvrcholila usmrtením Usámu bin Ládina. Zasľúbená zem je hlboko osobný introspektívny príbeh muža, ktorý uzavrel stávku s históriou a vypracoval sa z lokálneho politika až na svetové javisko. Obama úprimne rozpráva o hľadaní rovnováhy medzi rozhodnutím kandidovať na najvyšší úrad z pozície muža čiernej pleti, prijatím očakávaní, ktoré naňho kládla generácia volajúca po naplnení prísľubu „nádeje a zmeny”, a zvládnutím morálnej výzvy urobiť správne rozhodnutie, keď ide o veľa. Otvorene hovorí o silách, ktorým čelil doma aj v zahraničí, vysvetľuje, ako život v Bielom dome ovplyvnil jeho manželku a dcéry, a nebojí sa priznať vlastné sklamania a pochybnosti o sebe samom. Nikdy však nezakolíše vo viere, že v prebiehajúcom veľkom americkom experimente je pokrok vždy možný. Táto silná a výborne napísaná audiokniha zachytáva presvedčenie Baracka Obamu, že demokracia nie je darom zhora, ale buduje sa dennodenným úsilím založeným na empatii a vzájomnom pochopení.

Two long-time friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly-produced expansion of their ground-breaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material.Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to their country's polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-colour photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders-one Black and one white-looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes:· Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen· Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions· Obama's never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his "Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches· Springsteen's handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career· Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors' personal archives· Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation. In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America--the first African-American to serve in that role--she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her--from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it--in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations--and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Michelle Robinsonová prežila detstvo v južnej časti Chicaga, kde sa v malom byte na poschodí delila o spoločnú izbu s bratom Craigom a naháňala sa s ním v blízkom parku. Jej rodičia Fraser a Marian Robinsonovci ju odmalička viedli k tomu, aby bola otvorená a nebojácna. Život ju však zavial oveľa ďalej a do úplne iných sfér - počnúc posluchárňami Princetonskej univerzity, kde po prvý raz pocítila, aké je to byť jedinou černoškou v aule, až po presklenú výškovú kancelársku budovu, kde pracovala na poste renomovanej firemnej právničky. Tu sa v jedno letné dopoludnie objavil v jej kancelárii študent Barack Obama a obrátil celý jej starostlivo naplánovaný život naruby. Michelle Obamová opisuje v tejto knihe začiatky svojho manželstva, keď sa snažila zladiť prácu, rodinu a materské povinnosti s rýchlo sa rozvíjajúcou politickou kariérou svojho manžela. Odhaľuje súkromné diskusie súvisiace s jeho kandidatúrou na post prezidenta aj svoju úlohu v jeho kampani, ktorá jej priniesla popularitu, no zároveň sa nevyhla ani kritike. So šarmom, humorom a s neobvyklou otvorenosťou ponúka pohľad do zákulisia diania, keď sa jej rodina stala stredobodom pozornosti celého sveta, aj na osem dôležitých rokov, ktoré prežila v Bielom dome - na to, ako sa postupne zoznamovala so svojou krajinou a krajina sa zoznamovala s ňou. Kniha Môj príbeh nás zavedie do skromných kuchýň v Iowe aj do tanečných sál Buckinghamského paláca, nevynechá okamihy veľkého žiaľu a nezlomnej vôle. Dá nám nazrieť hlboko do duše jedinečnej priekopníckej osobnosti, ktorá sa snaží žiť autenticky a investuje energiu, sily a hlas v prospech vyšších ideálov. V odvážnom a úprimnom prerozprávaní svojho príbehu nás vyzýva, aby sme sa zamysleli nad tým, kto v skutočnosti sme a kým chceme byť. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Její rodiče, Fraser a Marian Robinsonovi, ji odmalička vedli k nebojácnosti a otevřenosti. Postupně ji život zavál mnohem dál: přes kampus Princetonské univerzity, kde poprvé pocítila, jaké to je být jediná černoška v přednáškové aule, až do proskleného kancelářského věžáku na post vysoce postavené firemní právničky.

Michelle Obamová nás ve svých vzpomínkách nechá nahlédnout do duše jedinečné, průkopnické osobnosti, jež se snaží žít nearanžovaný život a své síly i hlas propůjčuje do služeb vyšších ideálů.

Michelle Robinson was born on the South Side of Chicago. From her modest beginnings, she would become Michelle Obama, the inspiring and powerful First Lady of the United States, when her husband, Barack Obama, was elected the forty-fourth president. They would be the first Black First Family in the White House and serve the country for two terms. Growing up, Michelle and her older brother, Craig, shared a bedroom in their family’s upstairs apartment in her great-aunt’s house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. Michelle’s beloved dad taught his kids to work hard, keep their word, and remember to laugh. Her mom showed them how to think for themselves, use their voice, and be unafraid. But life soon took her far from home. With determination, carefully made plans, and the desire to achieve, Michelle was eager to expand the sphere of her life from her schooling in Chicago. She went to Princeton University, where she learned what it felt like to be the only Black woman in the room. She then went to Harvard Law School, and after graduating returned to Chicago and became a high-powered lawyer. Her plans changed, however, when she met and fell in love with Barack Obama.

The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth."Can I kiss you?" It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare.As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was enough. Full of behind the scenes details and intimate interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood, Pageboy is the story of a life pushed to the brink. But at its core, this beautifully written, winding journey of what it means to untangle ourselves from the expectations of others is an ode to stepping into who we truly are with defiance, strength, and joy.

PARIS: A MILLION MEANINGS IN A SINGLE NAMEHeiress. Party girl. Problem child. Selfie taker. Model. Reality star. Self-created.The labels attached to Paris Hilton.Founder. Entrepreneur. Pop Culture Maker. Innovator. Survivor. Activist. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother.The roles Paris embraces as a fully realized woman.Paris rose to prominence as an heiress to the Hilton hotel empire but cultivated her fame and fortune as the IT Girl of the aughts, a time marked by the burgeoning 24-hour entertainment news cycle and the advent of the celebrity blog. Using her celebrity brand, Paris set in motion her innovative business ventures, while being the constant target of tabloid culture that dismissively wrote her off as "famous for being famous." With tenacity, sharp business acumen and grit, she built a global empire and, in the process, became a truly modern icon beloved around the world.Now, with courage, honesty, and humour, Paris Hilton is ready to take stock, place it all in context and share her story with the world. Separating the creation from the creator, the brand from the ambassador, Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood lived through the lens of undiagnosed ADHD, a teenage rebellion that triggered a panicked - and perilous - decision by her parents. Led to believe they were saving their child's life, Paris's mother and father had her kidnapped and saw her sent to a series of 'emotional growth boarding schools', where she survived almost two years of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. In the midst of a hell we now call the 'troubled teen industry', Paris created a beautiful inner world where the ugliness couldn't touch her. She came out, resolving to trust no-one but herself as she transformed that fantasy world into a multibillion-dollar reality.Recounting her perilous journey through pre-#MeToo sexual politics with grace, dignity and just the right amount of sass. Paris: The Memoir tracks the evolution of celebrity culture through the story of the figure at its leading edge, full of defining moments and marquee names. Most important, Paris shows us her path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story and in our own.Welcome to Paris. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'Here's a partial list of things I don't believe in: God. The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Vampires. Zombies. Homeopathy. Note that "witches" and "witchcraft" are absent from this list. When really they should be right there at the top. The thing is, I wouldn't believe in them, and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did, except for one thing: I am a witch.' - From Toil & TroubleFor as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember, he knew things he shouldn't have known. He manifested things that shouldn't have come to pass. And he told exactly no one about this, save one person: his mother. His mother reassured him that it was all perfectly normal, that he was descended from a long line of witches, going back to the days of the Pendle witches of Lancashire, England. It was a bond that he and his mother shared - until the day she left him in the care of her psychiatrist to be raised in his family (but that's a whole other story). After that, Augusten was on his own. From the hilarious to the terrifying, Toil & Trouble is a chronicle of one man's journey to understand himself, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless. There are very few coincidences, as you will learn. Ghosts are real, trees can want to kill you, beavers are the spawn of Satan, houses are alive, and in the end, love is the most powerful magic of all. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

orn in Czechoslovakia, Mark Slouka's parents survived the Nazis only to have to escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into. From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial-admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tell-in an attempt to reach his mother, the enigmatic figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story, the revelation of her life-long burden and the forty-year love affair that might have saved her, shows the way out of the maze. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Ivan Klíma, “a writer of enormous power and originality” (The New York Times Book Review), has penned an intimate autobiography that explores his life under Nazi and Communist regimes. More than a memoir, My Crazy Century explores the ways in which the epoch and its dominating totalitarian ideologies impacted the lives, character, and morality of Klíma’s generation.Klíma’s story begins in the 1930s, in the Terezin concentration camp outside of Prague, where he was forced to spend almost four years of his childhood. He reveals how the postwar atmosphere supported and encouraged the spread of Communist principles over the next few decades and how an informal movement to change the system developed inside the Party. These political events form the backdrop to Klíma’s personal experiences, with the arrest and trial of his father; the early revolt of young writers against socialist realism; his first literary successes; and his travels to the free part of Europe, which strengthened his awareness of living as part of a colossal lie. Klíma also captures the brief period of liberation during 1968’s Prague Spring, in which he played an active role; the Soviet invasion that crushed its political reforms; the rise of the dissident movement; and the collapse of the Communist regime in the middle of the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Including insightful essays on topics related to social history, political thinking, love, and freedom, My Crazy Century provides a profoundly rich and moving personal history of national evolution. Ivan Klíma’s first autobiography and perhaps his most significant work, it encapsulates a remarkable life largely lived under occupation. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix's Ugly Delicious--an intimate account of the making of a chef, the story of the modern restaurant world that he helped shape, and how he discovered that success can be much harder to understand than failure. "David puts words to so many of the things we all feel, sharing generously of his own journey so we can all benefit in the process."--Chrissy Teigen NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR - Fortune - Parade - The New York Public Library - Garden & Gun In 2004, Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in a tiny, stark space in Manhattan's East Village. Its young chef-owner, David Chang, worked the line, serving ramen and pork buns to a mix of fellow restaurant cooks and confused diners whose idea of ramen was instant noodles in Styrofoam cups. It would have been impossible to know it at the time--and certainly Chang would have bet against himself--but he, who had failed at almost every endeavor in his life, was about to become one of the most influential chefs of his generation, driven by the question, "What if the underground could become the mainstream?" Chang grew up the youngest son of a deeply religious Korean American family in Virginia. Graduating college aimless and depressed, he fled the States for Japan, hoping to find some sense of belonging. While teaching English in a backwater town, he experienced the highs of his first full-blown manic episode, and began to think that the cooking and sharing of food could give him both purpose and agency in his life. Full of grace, candor, grit, and humor, Eat a Peach chronicles Chang's switchback path. He lays bare his mistakes and wonders about his extraordinary luck as he recounts the improbable series of events that led him to the top of his profession. He wrestles with his lifelong feelings of otherness and inadequacy, explores the mental illness that almost killed him, and finds hope in the shared value of deliciousness. Along the way, Chang gives us a penetrating look at restaurant life, in which he balances his deep love for the kitchen with unflinching honesty about the industry's history of brutishness and its uncertain future.

The long-anticipated inside look at the extraordinary career of the man who brought Sexy Back, the legendary producer in the pantheon of music greats as influential and groundbreaking as Motown's Berry Gordy and a memoir of the creative process. Hailed by the New Yorker as "the eminence grise behind half of what is great in the Top Forty these days," world-renowned producer Timbaland has been a fixture on the pop charts, with more top-ten hits than Elvis or the Beatles. An artist whose fans are multi-racial and multi-generational, Timbaland works with the hottest artists, from Mariah Carey and Missy Elliott to Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Madonna, and his childhood friend, Pharrell Williams. Yet this celebrity is a uniquely private man who shuns parties, stays out of gossip columns, and rarely gives interviews. Deliberately choosing to tour by bus and conspicuously bling-free, he maintains a low-key lifestyle. If he's not at the recording studio, he is at home with his family. In The Emperor of Sound, Timbaland offers fans an unprecedented look into his life and work. Completely uncensored and totally honest, he reveals the magic behind the music, sharing the various creative impulses that arise while he's producing, and the layering of sounds that have created dozens of number one hits. Cinematically written, full of revealing anecdotes and reflections from today's most popular music icons, The Emperor of Sound showcases this master's artistry and offers an extraordinary glimpse inside this great musical mind.

An intimate and deeply researched account of the extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful – and elusive – woman in the world. Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor’s daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, only entering politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West. Acclaimed author Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of this unlikely ascent. With unparalleled access to the chancellor’s inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique political genius that is the secret to Merkel’s success. No other modern leader has so ably confronted authoritarian aggression, enacted daring social policies and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming only more divided. Again and again, she’s cleverly outmanoeuvred strongmen like Putin and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron. Famously private, the woman who emerges from these pages is a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one’s moral convictions. At once a riveting political biography, an intimate human portrait and a revelatory look at successful leadership in action, The Chancellor brings forth from the shadows one of the most extraordinary women of our time.
