圖書描述

Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Biography

An extraordinarily frank, honest, and generous book by one of America's most famous and admired women, Personal History is, as its title suggests, a book composed of both personal memoir and history.

It is the story of Graham's parents: the multimillionaire father who left private business and government service to buy and restore the down-and-out Washington Post, and the formidable, self-absorbed mother who was more interested in her political and charity work, and her passionate friendships with men like Thomas Mann and Adlai Stevenson, than in her children.

It is the story of how The Washington Post struggled to succeed -- a fascinating and instructive business history as told from the inside (the paper has been run by Graham herself, her father, her husband, and now her son).

It is the story of Phil Graham -- Kay's brilliant, charismatic husband (he clerked for two Supreme Court justices) -- whose plunge into manic-depression, betrayal, and eventual suicide is movingly and charitably recounted.

Best of all, it is the story of Kay Graham herself. She was brought up in a family of great wealth, yet she learned and understood nothing about money. She is half-Jewish, yet -- incredibly -- remained unaware of it for many years.She describes herself as having been naive and awkward, yet intelligent and energetic. She married a man she worshipped, and he fascinated and educated her, and then, in his illness, turned from her and abused her. This destruction of her confidence and happiness is a drama in itself, followed by the even more intense drama of her new life as the head of a great newspaper and a great company, a famous (and even feared) woman in her own right. Hers is a life that came into its own with a vengeance -- a success story on every level.

Graham's book is populated with a cast of fascinating characters, from fifty years of presidents (and their wives), to Steichen, Brancusi, Felix Frankfurter, Warren Buffett (her great advisor and protector), Robert McNamara, George Schultz (her regular tennis partner), and, of course, the great names from the Post: Woodward, Bernstein, and Graham's editorpartner, Ben Bradlee. She writes of them, and of the most dramatic moments of her stewardship of the Post (including the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, and the pressmen's strike), with acuity, humor, and good judgment. Her book is about learning by doing, about growing and growing up, about Washington, and about a woman liberated by both circumstance and her own great strengths.

最近讀到最好看的書。第二章迴憶傢族曆史、父母對自己的影響,有年老時迴憶這些點點滴滴時的釋懷和幽默,又還有少女式的對父母的一些行為的無法理解。最傷感的就是最後一句:我不再去想父母到底留給瞭我什麼影響,我已經厭倦瞭停留在過去的生活裏。

Katherine Graham陆续这个名字出现在了我喜欢的三本书中,是两位金融大鳄Warren Buffett和Peter Peterson的密友,只是这一点便让我好奇地找来这本书看。 在阅读过程中,我不停地因为格雷厄姆夫人的诚实而客观的描述而感到惊讶,她坦诚地写出童年缺乏母亲关爱导致的不安全感,...

角度一:从一个女人的发展来说,菲尔・格雷厄姆的逝世想必是凯瑟琳・格雷厄姆人生中最重要的转折点之一。对于这本自传《个人历史》来说,菲尔的死也是一条分水岭,把凯瑟琳的人生故事硬生生割裂成了两个截然不同的部分。前半部分,用最通俗的语言来说凯瑟琳是个富二代的女...
