For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.

In She Walks in Beauty, Caroline Kennedy has once again marshaled the gifts of our greatest poets to pay a very personal tribute to the human experience, this time to the complex and fascinating subject of womanhood. Inspired by her own reflections on more than fifty years of life as a young girl, a woman, a wife, and a mother, She Walks in Beauty draws on poetry's eloquent wisdom to ponder the many joys and challenges of being a woman. Kennedy has divided the collection into sections that signify to her the most notable milestones, passages, and universal experiences in a woman's life, and she begins each of these sections with an introduction in which she explores and celebrates the most important elements of life's journey. The collection includes works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sharon Olds, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, W. H. Auden, Adrienne Rich, Sandra Cisneros, Anne Sexton, W. S. Merwin, Dorothy Parker, Queen Elizabeth I, Lucille Clifton, Naomi Shahib Nye, and W. B. Yeats. Whether it's falling in love, breaking up, friendship, marriage, motherhood, or growing old, She Walks in Beauty is a priceless resource for anyone, male or female, who wants a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a woman.

Während seiner Präsidentschaftszeit ließ John F. Kennedy mehr als 260 Stunden seiner Gespräche und Telefonate im Oval Office heimlich auf Tonband aufzeichnen. Die Bänder bilden einen historischen Fund von außerordentlichem Rang und vermitteln eine einzigartige Innensicht einer der großen legendenumwobenen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Erstmals veröffentlicht John F. Kennedy, geboren 1917, unternahm bereits als junger Mann Reisen nach Deutschland: im Sommer 1937 als Student; im August 1939, unmittelbar vor Kriegsbeginn, als sein Vater Botschafter in Großbritannien war; sowie im Juli und August 1945, wenige Wochen nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges, als Korrespondent. Von diesen drei Reisen hinterließ Kennedy historisch wie persönlich faszinierende Zeugnisse, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden und zeigen, welche Eindrücke der spätere Präsident der USA von Deutschland gewann. Seine Deutschland- und Europapolitik und auch seine Berliner Rede aus dem Jahr 1963 sind erst vor diesem Hintergrund richtig zu verstehen. “Ich sagte gestern, ich würde meinem Nachfolger eine Mitteilung mit der Aufschrift hinterlassen: ‘Bei Mutlosigkeit öffnen.’ Und darin werden nur drei Worte stehen: ‘Geh nach Deutschland!’ Vielleicht werde ich diesen Brief eines Tages selbst aufmachen.” John F. Kennedy, 1963

"In 1964, ca parte dintr-un proiect de istorie orala despre viata si cariera lui John F. Kennedy, mama mea a intrat intr-un dialog cu Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. pentru a-si impartasi amintirile si perceptia asupra lucrurilor. Inregistrate la mai putin de patru luni de la moartea sotului ei, aceste conversatii reprezinta un dar facut istoriei... Sper ca tinerele generatii care incep sa afle mai multe despre anii 1960 vor considera aceste rememorari o introducere utila in modul in care se face istoria si vor gasi in ele inspiratia de a oferi ceva acestei tari care ne-a oferit tuturor atat de multe." Caroline Kennedy "In ciuda insistentei ei de a avea o viata privata, Jacqueline Kennedy nu a uitat niciodata ca avea o obligatie fata de posteritate. Stia ca, atunci cand aceasta istorie orala va fi publicata dupa moartea ei, va avea ceea ce se astepta sa fie aproape ultimul cuvant despre viata alaturi de sotul ei. Prin amintirile povestite in aceasta carte, Jacqueline Kennedy a devenit prima sotie a unui presedinte american care sa accepte sa raspunda ore in sir, in fata unui megafon, unor intrebari despre viata ei publica si privata. Acum, dupa ce decenii la rand povestea ei a fost scrisa de altii, puteti sa cititi ce are ea de spus."
