Ο Ομπάμα μιλά με ειλικρίνεια για τις δύσκολες ισορροπίες που συνεπαγόταν η διεκδίκηση της προεδρικής υποψηφιότητας από έναν μαύρο Αμερικανό, επιφορτισμένο με τις προσδοκίες μιας γενιάς που είχε πορευτεί με το μήνυμα για \"ελπίδα και αλλαγή\", καθώς και η αναμέτρηση με τις ηθικές προκλήσεις της λήψης εξαιρετικά κρίσιμων αποφάσεων. Μιλά επίσης ανοιχτά για τις δυνάμεις που του εναντιώθηκαν μέσα στη χώρα και στο εξωτερικό, για το πώς επηρέασε η ζωή στον Λευκό Οίκο τη σύζυγό του και τις κόρες του, και δεν φοβάται να αποκαλύψει τις εσωτερικές αμφιβολίες και την απογοήτευσή του. Ωστόσο, ποτέ δεν εγκαταλείπει την πίστη του ότι, στο πλαίσιο του τεράστιου, διαρκούς πειράματος που είναι η Αμερική, η πρόοδος είναι πάντα δυνατή.\u003cbr\u003eΑυτό το υπέροχα γραμμένο και δυνατό βιβλίο αποτυπώνει την πεποίθηση του Μπαράκ Ομπάμα ότι η Δημοκρατία δεν είναι δώρο εξ ουρανού αλλά κάτι που έχει θεμελιωθεί πάνω στη συμπόνια και στην αλληλοκατανόηση, και οικοδομείται από κοινού, ημέρα με την ημέρα.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Pages\"\u003e768\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publication Date\"\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publisher\"\u003eAthens Bookstore Publications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"ISBN\"\u003e9786188403260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Binding\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Author\"\u003eBarack Obama\/ Μπάρακ Ομπάμα\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diavazo Greek Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40155255963837,"sku":"gi tis epaggelias","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/7574\/2397\/products\/gh-ths-epaggelias-barack-obama-3212973.jpg?v=1765467909"},{"product_id":"anthrwpofylakes-epeteiaki-ekdosi","title":"Ανθρωποφύλακες - Περικλής Κοροβέσης (Επετειακή Έκδοση)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 0.9rem; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003eΟι \"Ανθρωποφύλακες\", το ιστορικό βιβλίο του Περικλή Κοροβέση, κυκλοφορεί σε μια επετειακή έκδοση, με αφορμή τη συμπλήρωση 50 χρόνων από την πρώτη του κυκλοφορία!

And still, today, a wealth of novels, plays and films draw their inspiration from stories first told almost three thousand years ago. But modern tellers of Greek myth have usually been men, and have routinely shown little interest in telling women's stories. And when they do, those women are often painted as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil.
