Beschrijving:
Barack Obama’s political vision for the future of America, written two years before he became president; the New York Times bestseller
‘At a time when America’s standing in the world has sunk to unprecedented depths . . . his book aims a missile of
decency at the White House.’ Daily Telegraph
In this bestselling book Barack Obama discusses the importance of empathy and inclusiveness in politics, his hopes for a different America with different policies, and how the ideals of its democracy can be renewed. A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a sceptic, Obama has written a book of transforming power that will inspire people the world over.
‘The Audacity of Hope offers readers on this side of the Atlantic a window not just into the mind of one of America’s most exciting politicians, but into the political landscape of the post-Bush era . . . like Bill Clinton, he
has the knack of weaving together the personal and the anecdotal with the political and the conceptual, so that each point seems both persuasive and commonsensical.’ Guardian
‘In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.’ Washington Post
‘It conveys a rare frankness and humility. The Audacity of Hope is light-years ahead of rivals’ books. Obama writes in a lucid prose, enlivened with colourful details.’ New Statesman
Before he was president, he was senator. Written two years prior to the election that would change the face of the United States, The Audacity of Hope discusses the importance of empathy in politics, Obama’s hopes for a different America and how the ideals of its democracy can be renewed.
With intimacy and self-deprecating humour, he describes his experiences balancing his family life with his public vocation. A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a sceptic, Barack Obama has written a book of transforming power that will inspire people the world over.
