An international bestseller which has sold over a million copies in the UK, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking big questions about identity and belonging.

The son of a Black African father and a white American mother, Obama was only two years old when his father walked out on the family. Many years later, he receives a phone call from Nairobi: his father is dead. This sudden news inspires an emotional odyssey for Obama, determined to learn the truth of his father's life and reconcile his divided inheritance.

Written at the age of thirty-three, nearly fifteen years before becoming president, Dreams From My Father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obama's journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history and what makes us who we are. Narrated by Barack Obama, this new edition brings to audiobook listeners the originally published text, as intended by the author.

Commentaires

"An American classic, written with grace and precision"
"Extraordinary . . . It's unique. It's his. There are no other ones like that" (TONI MORRISON)
"An affecting personal memoir with grace and style, narrating an enthralling story with honesty, elegance and wit, as well as an instinctive gift for storytelling . . . every bit as remarkable as Obama’s rise to power . . . One of the many distinctive qualities to the book is Obama’s natural and fearless way with dialogue"
"Obama has written a memoir . . . that evokes the anguish of miscegenation yet culminates in a cry of faith in human community . . . Obama is a born narrator, with a mastery of colour, scene and personality, deftly stirring them into the melting pot of a shared American identity. Rarely has that identity found so vivid a portraitist"
"Thoughtful, moving and brilliantly written"
"A man with a phenomenal life story"
"With its honesty and cool language, and by virtue of having a story worth telling, the book impresses far more than the typical political memoir"
"A well-written account of Obama's struggle to establish his own views on identity and race, and all the more entertaining for its honesty"
"Whatever else people expect from a politician, it's not usually a beautifully written personal memoir steeped in honesty. Barack Obama has produced one" (OONA KING)
"A touchstone for future politicians" (PHILIP WOMACK)
