The ?aptivating?(The New York Times), definitive biography of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, detailing the extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful-and elusive-woman in the world.Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor? daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, entering politics only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West.In this ?asterpiece of discernment and insight?(The New York Times Book Review), acclaimed biographer Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of Merkel? unlikely ascent. With unparalleled access to the chancellor? inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique political genius that had been the secret to Merkel? success. No modern leader so ably confronted Russian aggression, enacted daring social policies, and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming more divided. Again and again, she cleverly outmaneuvered strongmen like Putin and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron.Famously private, the woman who emerges from this ?mpressively researched?(The Wall Street Journal) account is a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one? moral convictions. At once a ?iveting?(Los Angeles Review of Books) political biography, an intimate human portrait, and a revelatory look at successful leadership in action, The Chancellor brings forth one of the most extraordinary women of our time.

Hardcover. Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. Angela Merkel was widely seen as the true 'leader of the free world', and Germany's export-driven economic model seemed to deliver prosperity. But recent events - from Germany's dependence on Russian gas to its car industry's delays in the race to electric - have undermined this view. In Kaput, Wolfgang Munchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The neo-mercantilist policies of the German state, driven by close connections between the country's industrial and political elite, have left Germany technologically behind over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China - and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the 21st century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europe's biggest economy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. For sixteen years, Angela Merkel was Chancellor of Germany. She led the country through numerous crises, shaping both Germany and international politics with her actions and attitudes. In her memoirs, co-written with her long-time political advisor Beate Baumann, she reflects on her life in two German states - thirty-five years in the German Democratic Republic, thirty-five years in reunited Germany. More intimately than ever before, she talks about her childhood, youth, and studies in the GDR and the dramatic year of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell and her political life began. She also shares recollections and insights from her meetings and conversations with the world's most powerful people. Discussing significant national, European, and international turning points, she shows how the decisions were made that shaped our times. Her book offers a unique insight into the inner workings of power - and is a compelling plea for freedom. The much-anticipated political memoirs of Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from 2005 to 2021. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Florian Herscht has a problem: having faithfully attended Herr Khler's classes in particle physics for two years, he is convinced that global cataclysm is imminent. And so he embarks upon a one-sided correspondence with Chancellor Angela Merkel, hoping to convince her of the imminent danger of the complete destruction of all physical matter.Written in one cascading sentence with the force of atomic particles colliding, Krasznahorkai's latest novel is a tour de force, a morality play of blistering satire, a devastating encapsulation of our helplessness in the face of the moral and environmental dilemmas we face. A masterpiece of form and fiction as one of our greatest living writers tackles our fears of environmental disaster.

Neuware -Das mächtigste Amt der deutschen Politik hat noch niemand freiwillig aufgegeben - außer Angela Merkel. Bis zum Ende ihrer Amtszeit hat sie hohe Zustimmungswerte erhalten, immer wieder hat sie sich als Krisenmanagerin bewährt. Und so schätzen sie die Deutschen: Angela Merkel ist so pragmatisch, wie Helmut Schmidt es gerne gewesen wäre. Ideologien, Weltanschauungen, Grundsatzfragen interessieren sie wenig. Unaufgeregt schlachtete sie mehrere heilige Kühe der Christdemokraten, etwa die Wehrpflicht oder die Kernkraft. Kritiker warfen ihr deshalb vor, ihr einziges Programm sei es, Kanzlerin zu sein.Und doch hat sie, ideologiefrei, visionslos, eine Ära der deutschen Politik geprägt: Die Jahre von 2005 bis 2021 sind eindeutig die Merkel-Jahre. Jetzt, da diese Ära zu Ende geht, ist es Zeit, sie genauer anzusehen: Was bleibt Wurde da «nur» pragmatisch regiert, oder sind Entwicklungen in Gang gesetzt worden, die über den Tag hinausweisen Ja, die gibt es, sagt Ursula Weidenfeld, und sie werden entscheidend sein für unsere nächsten Jahre.Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Bilanz. Es versucht, dem Phänomen Merkel gerecht zu werden - und zeichnet das Bild einer Frau, die Deutschland verändert hat. 352 pp. Deutsch

Idioma/Language: Español. LAS ESPERADAS MEMORIAS DE UNA DE LAS LÍDERES POLÍTICAS MÁS IMPORTANTES DE NUESTRO TIEMPO Durante 16 años, Angela Merkel asumió la responsabilidad de gobernar Alemania y guio al país a través de numerosas crisis, moldeando la política internacional con su actitud y decisiones. Pero Merkel no nació canciller. En sus memorias, escritas de la mano de su asesora Beate Baumann, la política recuerda su vida en dos estados alemanes: 35 años en la RDA (República Democrática Alemana) y 35 años en la Alemania reunificada. A lo largo de estas páginas, la excanciller habla de su infancia y juventud, de su época de estudiante y de la caída del muro en 1989, año en qué decidió implicarse activamente en la vida política de su país. Revive, también, los encuentros con los líderes internacionales más influyentes del mundo y los momentos más decisivos de su carrera, a la vez que ofrece una visión única de los entresijos del poder y un decidido alegato en favor de la libertad. «¿Qué es para mí la libertad? Esta pregunta ha ocupado toda mi vida. Políticamente, por supuesto, porque la libertad requiere condiciones democráticas, sin democracia no hay libertad, ni Estado de Derecho, ni protección de los derechos humanos. Pero la pregunta también me preocupa a otro nivel. Para mí, libertad significa descubrir dónde están mis propios límites y caminar hasta ellos. Para mí, libertad es no dejar de aprender, no quedarme quieta, ir más allá, incluso después de dejar la política».
