约翰·F.肯尼迪,美国第三十五任总统,毕业于哈佛大学,1963年在德克萨斯州被刺杀成为如林肯般的“殉道总统”。
<blockquote>"This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues-- courage. 'Grace under pressure,' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them."
-- John F. Kennedy</p></blockquote>
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.</p>
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition, featuring a new introduction by Caroline Kennedy, as well as Robert Kennedy's foreword written for the memorial edition of the volume in 1964 -- resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword, "not just stories of the past but a hook of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us."</p>
信仰,是对某种主张、主义、宗教的极度相信和尊敬,是说起来很虚的东西。但是,从比干不惧纣王剖心、伯夷叔齐不食周粟,到文天祥从容赴死、陆秀夫纵身跳海,到史可法誓不降清、谭嗣同引颈就戳,到刘胡兰、瞿秋白、董存瑞、黄继光英勇就义,却在雄辩的证明,信仰可以给人以勇气...
评分信仰对一个人来讲是至关重要的,甚至至关重要都不能确准的表达信仰对一个人的巨大影响,要知道人的内核是精神、是思想、是理念、是价值,这些其实都在信仰中得到体现。在我看来人本身归根到底就是意识和思想的集中,倘若没有了这些人也就不能称之为人了。 《信仰在风中飘扬》...
评分 评分诸君现在捧在手中的,是约翰·肯尼迪的普利策图书获奖作品。约翰·肯尼迪是普利策奖1917年创办以来得此殊荣的唯一一位美国总统,尽管本书并非写于他政务繁忙而短暂的三年总统任上。酝酿此书主题时,肯尼迪进入联邦参议院不久,之前仅在地方上担任过六年州议员(马萨诸塞州),...
评分早就听说过肯尼迪写的这本书,试问自己怎么没想起找来读读呢?(*^__^*) 上论文写作课时候学写人物传记,我写的就是肯尼迪。年轻英俊的美国前总统,文思还是不错的! 美国政体被视为是民主体制的典范,书本上老生常谈地介绍着美国政治运作的各种机构,告诉人们这设计多么多么值...
看不进去,回头再看吧。
评分从头到尾的民主党意识形态...
评分美国先父的卓见和理念,总是能撼动我心。
