Story3
Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy carefully explores the influences that have shaped Ardern. Peace activist and journalist Supriya Vani and writer Carl A. Harte build their narrative through Vani's exclusive interviews with Ardern, as well as the prime minister's public statements and speeches and the words of those who know her. We visit the places, meet the people and understand the events that propelled the daughter of a small-town Mormon policeman to become a social democrat, a passionate Labour Party politician and a modern leader admired for her empathy and courage.

Jean-Luc Barré saisit toute la complexité de l’homme du 18 Juin. Il révèle un de Gaulle guidé précocement par une vision, des principes et des convictions profondes, bien loin du seul pragmatisme qu’on lui a prêté. Dès les années 30, il pressent la fin du système colonial, imagine les institutions de la Ve République en 1941 ; prend conscience des limites du nationalisme et, réputé de droite, est un contempteur souvent féroce des valeurs bourgeoises et du monde de l’argent.

Originally published in six volumes, which sold more than one million copies, Carl Sandburg’s Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg’s generation. He later distilled this monumental work into one volume that critics and readers alike consider his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published.
Growing up in an Illinois prairie town, Sandburg listened to stories of old-timers who had known Lincoln. By the time this single-volume edition was competed, he had spent a lifetime studying, researching, and writing about our 16th president.

Joshua Rubenstein's riveting account takes us back to the second half of 1952, when no one could foresee an end to Joseph Stalin's murderous regime. He was poised to challenge the newly elected US president Dwight Eisenhower with armed force and was also broadening a vicious campaign against Soviet Jews. Stalin's sudden collapse and death in March 1953 was as dramatic and mysterious as his life. It is no overstatement to say that his passing marked a major turning point in the 20th century.

À partir d'archives inédites – celles en particulier du fonds de Gaulle que l'auteur a été le premier à explorer – il renouvelle la connaissance de cette période au fil d'une dramaturgie où l'analyse psychologique du personnage principal se mêle aux péripéties politiques qui ont émaillé ce parcours tumultueux.

You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'.
