Yes, a brilliant book. #ParableOfTheSower by #OctaviaButler. I started reading it just before the COVID lockdown & massive death tolls. Then rushed to finish it, since the dystopian future began feeling too terrifyingly real/possible.      источник

Becoming book cover
Becoming
Моя история
Michelle Obama - 2018-11-13
Рейтинг Goodreads
Becoming – одна из самых ожидаемых книг этого года. Искренние и вдохновляющие мемуары бывшей первой леди Соединенных Штатов Америки уже проданы тиражом более 3 миллионов экземпляров, переведены на 32 языка и 10 месяцев возглавляют самый престижный книжный рейтинг Amazon. В своей книге Мишель Обама впервые делится сокровенными моментами своего брака - когда она пыталась балансировать между работой и личной жизнью, а также стремительно развивающейся политической карьерой мужа. Мы становимся свидетелями приватных бесед супругов, идем плечом к плечу с автором по великолепным залам Белого дома и сопровождаем Мишель Обаму в поездках по всей стране. "Перед первой леди Америка предстает без прикрас. Я бывала на аукционах в частных домах, больше похожих на музеи, где стояли ванны из драгоценных камней. Видела семьи, которые потеряли все в урагане Катрина и были до слез благодарны получить в дар хотя бы работающий холодильник и плиту. Я встречала лицемеров и лгунов. Но также встречала и учителей, жен военнослужащих и многих других людей, настолько сильных духом, что я с трудом верила своим глазам". Рассказывая свою историю честно и смело, автор заставляет каждого из нас задуматься: кто я и какова моя история?

This powerful true story follows the journey of a young lawyer who founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice committed to defending those in need. Through his defense of a young man wrongly sentenced to die, the lawyer is drawn into a world of conspiracy and political maneuvering, ultimately transforming his understanding of justice and mercy. Just Mercy provides a poignant window into the lives of those who have been defended and serves as a call for compassion and redemption in our broken system of justice.
