评分Good story. Great Bill.
评分了解20世纪末的美国和世界,学英文的好素材。
评分听的是CD,最关键的希拉里怎么就原谅比尔的十分钟竟然放!不!出!来!我想到以前租录像带的时候,经常会遇到“精彩片段”多雪花多毛病。。。可是小图书馆里CD的书目选择比MP3的选择要多得多。
比尔・克林顿,1946年8月19日出生于美国阿肯色州霍普市一个小店主家庭。法学博士学位。妻子是同班女同学希拉里。1976年,当选阿肯色州司法部长。1979年,他就任阿肯色州第40任州长。时年仅32岁,被新闻界称为“孩子州长”。1992年11月3日,他在大选中以压倒性优势获胜,击败布什,当选美国第42任总统。
President Bill Clinton’s 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 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.--From the Hardcover edition.
我在书店里看到这本书,拿起来读了一会就放不下了。前边克林顿写自己小时候的那一段非常真诚,文笔优美、简洁,可以当一部小说看。 但是写到他上大学,从政之后,就让人看得不耐烦了。我们不了解美国的政治,也没兴趣了解。 但是仅为前边的一百页,也要推荐这本书。
评分花了近两个月看完了克林顿的自传《My Life》。这本书和基辛格的回忆录都很长,但措辞和文笔没有基辛格的好,可见这个口才好的总统智商未必高,很多是流水账(总统期间叙事基本上是在说每个月做了哪些事)。全书按照时间顺序记录了他的童年、成长和执政,到2000年总统离任为止。...

评分想当初,因被克氏的个人魅力所吸引,在此书中文版刚上市时,就以新华书店买了一本。 开头很不错,积极进取,热情洋溢的精神跃然纸上。让人为之一振。 然而不多久,罗嗦来了。印象中他将小时无关紧要之事一一列举,譬如家中养过几条狗,每条狗的名字是什么。每条狗狗身上寄居着...
