Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In an American story of enduring importance, Jimmy Carter recreates his depression-era boyhood on a Georgia farm, before the civil rights movement that changed it and the country. Carter describes his childhood and the five people who shaped his early life; his friends who he worked the farm with and played slingshot with, but who could not attend the same school as himself. There are portraits of his father, a farmer and strict segregationist who treated black workers with his own brand of "seperate" respect and fairness, and of his mother, a strong-willed nurse who cared for all in need.

Biografía del autor:

Jimmy Carter who served as thirty-ninth president of the United States, was born in Plains, Georgia, in 1924. After leaving the White House, he and his wife, Rosalynn, founded the Atlanta-based Carter Center, a nonprofit organisation that works to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health around the world.
