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.

许多政治家都经历过政治生涯走下坡路的故事,但是很少有电影能够完全捕捉到像政客韦纳这种深刻且非常滑稽的一面。随着对安东尼·韦纳本人和他的家庭,以及他的纽约市长竞选团队的前所未有的采访,这部电影纪录了即将崩塌的政治事件。故事开始于前国会议员始料未及的重返政坛,但随着韦纳被迫承认新发色情短信的指控,故事又急转直下。媒体不停地挖掘和曝光他的一举一动,韦纳拼命想开拓进取,但是越来越大的压力和严重的24小时连续的新闻报道葬送了他的政治抱负。
韦纳的这场政治闹剧和个人的悲剧,揭露了前国会议员的傲慢,同时也批判了媒体对其家人攻击的丑陋一面。在纽约市这个响亮而热闹的大背景下,这部影片以一种无比坚定的、幽默而感伤的方式揭示出日益多见的政治运动的本质。

赖纳•文格尔(Jürgen Vogel 饰)是德国某所高中的老师,该学校正在进行“国家体制”的主题活动周。由于他最喜欢的“无政府主义”课被另一位老师捷足先登,因此他只能主讲“独裁统治”课程。
对于自由散漫的学生们来说,任何课程都只是为了学分而上。他们在课上大声聊天,无心听讲。文格尔别出心裁提出假想“独裁”的实验。在为期一周的实验中,文格尔被置于至高无上的地位,学生们对他要绝对服从。从最初的玩乐心态,这些青年男女渐渐沉湎这个名为“浪潮”的组织中,他们体会到集体和纪律的重要性,却在不知不觉中滑向了“独裁”与“纳粹”的深渊……
本片根据真实事件改编,并荣获2008年德国电影杰出剧情片和最佳男配角奖(Frederick Lau)。
