Michelle Obama

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WATCH THE EMMY-NOMINATED NETFLIX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Becoming

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life's big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much? Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles--the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become." She details her most valuable practices, like "starting kind," "going high," and assembling a "kitchen table" of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness. "When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it," writes Michelle Obama.

Overcoming in Uncertain Times

The Light We Carry

L'ancienne Première dame des États-Unis, première Afro-Américaine à occuper cette fonction, retrace son parcours : son enfance dans le South Side de Chicago, sa formation d'avocate, les années à concilier vie professionnelle et de mère de famille puis les deux mandats passés à la Maison-Blanche. Elle décrit ses victoires et ses défaites ainsi que son engagement en faveur des droits des femmes.

Devenir

  Micuța Michelle Obama și-a petrecut copilăria în cartierul South Side din orașul Chicago, împărțind aceeași cameră cu fratele ei, Craig, în apartamentul de la etaj al familiei, jucându-se de-a prinselea prin parc și învățând de la părinții săi, Fraser și Marian Robinson, să spună întotdeauna și fără teamă ceea ce gândește. Peste câțiva ani, viața a îndepărtat-o de casă, purtând-o din sălile de curs ale Universității Princeton, unde a descoperit cum e să fii singura femeie de culoare dintr-o încăpere, până în biroul elegant dintr-un zgârie-nori de sticlă, unde a lucrat și a fost apreciată ca avocat corporatist – și unde, într-o dimineață de vară, și-a făcut apariția un student la drept, pe nume Barack Obama, dându-i peste cap toate planurile pe care și le făcuse cu atâta minuțiozitate.

  În această carte, pentru prima dată, Michele Obama descrie primii ani ai căsniciei sale, când încerca să găsească echilibrul între carieră și ascensiunea rapidă în politică a soțului ei. Ne dezvăluie detalii intime din discuțiile pe care le-au purtat înainte de candidatura lui Barack Obama la președinție și impresii despre rolul pe care ea l-a jucat în campania lui electorală, ca o figură populară, dar și foarte des criticată. Cu un stil narativ grațios, presărat cu umor și o sinceritate neobișnuită, Michelle Obama ne oferă o poveste vie din culisele vieții ei, relatând secvențe neștiute despre lansarea istorică a familiei ei pe scena internațională, precum și din viața lor ca familie prezidențială, de-a lungul celor opt ani spectaculoși petrecuți la Casa Albă – în care și-a descoperit propria țară, iar America a descoperit-o pe ea.

  Povestea mea ne poartă prin bucătăriile modeste din Iowa și prin sălile de bal de la Palatul Buckingham, prin momente de durere sfâșietoare și ambiție fără limite, aducându-ne aproape de sufletul unei figuri unice, inovatoare a istoriei, în timp ce se străduiește să trăiască autentic, punându-și forța și vocea în serviciul unor idealuri mai înalte. Spunându-și povestea cu sinceritate și îndrăzneală, ne aruncă o provocare nouă, celorlalți: Cine suntem și cine dorim să devenim?

Como primera dama de los Estados Unidos de América, y primera afroamericana en desempeñar esa función, contribuyó a que la Casa Blanca alcanzara sus mayores cotas de apertura y pluralidad de la historia; se erigió en destacada defensora de las mujeres y las niñas en Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo, introdujo cambios drásticos encaminados a promover una vida saludable y activa en las familias, y acompañó a su esposo cuando el país atravesaba algunos de los momentos más desgarradores de su historia. Por el camino nos enseñó pasos de baile, causó furor en Carpool Karaoke y consiguió criar a dos hijas con los pies en la tierra bajo el implacable escrutinio de los medios de comunicación. En sus memorias, profundamente reflexivas y cautivadoras, Michelle Obama invita al lector a entrar en su mundo relatando las experiencias que han forjado su carácter, desde su infancia en la zona sur de Chicago, hasta los años que vivió en la residencia más famosa del mundo, pasando por su etapa como alta directiva, durante la que tuvo que compaginar la maternidad con la vida profesional. Haciendo gala de una honestidad a toda prueba y de un ingenio vivaz, describe sus logros y decepciones tanto en la esfera pública como en la privada, y narra sin ambages la historia de su vida, con sus propias palabras y en sus propios términos. Cálido, lúcido y revelador, Mi historia es un relato excepcionalmente íntimo de una mujer de gran moralidad y valía, que una vez y otra ha superado todas las expectativas y cuya historia nos inspira a seguir su ejemplo.

Becoming. La mia storia

“… bersama, di apartemen kami yang sesak, Ayah dan Ibu mengajariku melihat nilai-nilai dalam setiap kisah kehidupan kami … bahkan saat kisah itu tidak indah atau sempurna ….” Dunia Michelle kecil adalah sebuah apartemen sempit di South Side, Chicago, tempat dia dan saudaranya, Craig, dibesarkan dan dididik untuk menjadi pemberani dan tidak takut bicara. Namun kemudian, kehidupan membawanya jauh melangkah, mulai dari Universitas Princeton—tempat dia belajar merasakan menjadi satu-satunya perempuan kulit hitam di sebuah ruangan—hingga ke kantor pengacara tempat dia bekerja dan bertemu Barack Obama, yang kemudian menjadi suaminya. Pertemuan yang mengubah semua rencana hidupnya. Dalam buku ini, untuk pertama kalinya, Michelle Obama menggambarkan tahun-tahun pertama pernikahannya, ketika dia berjuang menyeimbangkan pekerjaan dan keluarganya dengan karier politik suaminya yang bergerak cepat. Dia juga mengungkap drama pencalonan suaminya sebagai presiden hingga perannya sebagai tokoh yang populer, sekaligus sasaran kritik. Dengan narasi yang anggun, penuh humor, dan keterusterangan, Michelle menuturkan kisah di balik layar kehidupannya selama delapan tahun di Gedung Putih yang membuatnya tak hanya dikenal, tetapi juga semakin mengenal negaranya. Melalui Becoming, sebuah memoar yang jujur dan berani, Michelle Obama menggugah kita untuk bertanya: Who are we and who do we want to become?

Cette lumière en nous. S'accomplir en des temps incertains

"Michelle Robinson gyermekkorát Chicago déli részén töltötte. A család tetőtéri lakásában egy szobában lakott bátyjával, Craiggel, akivel gyakran fogócskázott kint a parkban. Szüleinek, Fraser és Marian Robinsonnak köszönheti szókimondását, bátorságát. Innen az élet távolabb repítette: a Princeton nagyelőadóitól, ahol először tapasztalta meg, milyen érzés egyedüli feketének lenni egy teremben, a csupa üveg irodaházig, ahová elszánt és lelkes társasági szakjogászként került. Itt toppant be irodájába egy nyári reggelen egy joghallgató, Barack Obama, és borította fel szépen felépített terveit. Michelle Obama most először mesél házasságuk első éveiről, arról, miként próbált egyensúlyt teremteni a munkája és a családi élet között, miközben férje politikai karrierje gyorsan ívelt felfelé. Beavat az elnökválasztáson való indulásról szóló vitáik részleteibe, és ír arról is, hogyan élte meg a népszerűség terhét és a kritikákat a kampány során. A bájjal, humorral és szokatlan őszinteséggel elmesélt történetekben igen érzékletesen számol be a színfalak mögött zajló eseményekről, amelyeknek a családja a történelem rivaldafényébe kerülve lett részese. Hasonlóan élvezetesen ír a Fehér Házban eltöltött nyolc meghatározó évről, amelyek során megismerte az országot, és az ország is megismerte őt. Az Így lettem hol szerény iowai konyhákba, hol a Buckingham-palota báltermeibe kalauzol minket. Megtapasztaljuk a mérhetetlen szomorúság, az elképesztő szívósság és bámulatos kitartás pillanatait is. Egészen közelről láthatjuk, mi zajlik e páratlan, úttörő történelmi személyiség lelkében, miközben azért küzd, hogy hitelesen éljen, hogy saját erejét és hangját magasabb eszmék szolgálatába állítsa. Őszintén és bátran megosztott történetei arra ösztönöznek, hogy feltegyük magunknak is a kérdést: kik vagyunk és kivé akarunk válni."--

Így lettem
