'An intimate, insightful portrait of an extraordinarily private
leader' WALTER ISAACSON From the bestselling author of Enemies of
the People An intimate and deeply researched account of the
extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful -
and elusive - woman in the world. Angela Merkel has always been an
outsider. A pastor's daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East
Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, only
entering politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall.And yet within
fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before
long, the unofficial leader of the West. Acclaimed author Kati
Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of this unlikely ascent. With
unparalleled access to the chancellor's inner circle and a trove of
records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique
political genius that is the secret to Merkel's success.No other
modern leader has so ably confronted authoritarian aggression,
enacted daring social policies and calmly unified an entire
continent in an era when countries are becoming only more divided.
Again and again, she's cleverly outmanoeuvred strongmen like Putin
and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships
with allies like Obama and Macron. Famously private, the woman who
emerges from these pages is a role model for anyone interested in
gaining and keeping power while staying true to one's moral
convictions.At once a riveting political biography, an intimate
human portrait and a revelatory look at successful leadership in
action, The Chancellor brings forth from the shadows one of the
most extraordinary women of our time.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
