Book description
PREMIO PULITZER DE BIOGRAFÍA AHORA EN LA GRAN PANTALLA En esta aclamada autobiografía y bestseller internacional, Katharine Graham, la mujer que lideró el Washington Post a través de la crisis de los "Papeles del Pentágono" y el escándalo de Watergate, cuenta su historia extraordinaria, tanto por los eventos que abarca como por el coraje, la franqueza y la dignidad de su narración. Nos encontramos con a la niña torpe que creció en medio de la riqueza material y el aislamiento emocional; la joven novia que vio cómo su brillante y carismático esposo, confidente de John F. Kennedy y Lyndon Johnson, caía en la enfermedad mental que culminaría en su suicidio. Pero también encontramos a la viuda que sacudió su dolor e inseguridad para enfrentarse a un presidente y un sindicato de prensa mientras ingresaba cautelosamente en el negocio de los periódicos, en ese entonces liderado por hombres. Incansablemente reveladora, elegantemente escrita, Historia personal es un registro ejemplar de nuestro tiempo y de la mujer que desempeñó un papel ejemplar, descubriendo su propia fuerza y confianza en sí misma al enfrentar y dominar las crisis personales y profesionales de una vida extraordinariamente fascinante. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The captivating, inside story of the woman who helmed the Washington Post during one of the most turbulent periods in the history of American media. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography In this bestselling and widely acclaimed memoir, Katharine Graham, the woman who piloted the Washington Post through the scandals of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, tells her story--one that is extraordinary both for the events it encompasses and for the courage, candor, and dignity of its telling. Here is the awkward child who grew up amid material wealth and emotional isolation; the young bride who watched her brilliant, charismatic husband--a confidant to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson--plunge into the mental illness that would culminate in his suicide. And here is the widow who shook off her grief and insecurity to take on a president and a pressman's union as she entered the profane boys' club of the newspaper business. As timely now as ever, Personal History is an exemplary record of our history and of the woman who played such a shaping role within them, discovering her own strength and sense of self as she confronted--and mastered--the personal and professional crises of her fascinating life.
