Most Popular Books by Jacqueline Kennedy

The animations of Japan’s Studio Ghibli are amongst the highest regarded in the movie industry. Their delightful films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new eagerly-anticipated release a guaranteed box-office smash. Yet this highly profitable studio has remained fiercely independent, producing a stream of imaginative and individual animations. The studio’s founders, long-time animators Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, have created timeless masterpieces. Although their films are distinctly Japanese their themes are universal—humanity, community, and a love for the environment. No other film studio, animation or otherwise, comes close to matching Ghibli for pure cinematic experience. All their major works are examined here, as well the early output of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, exploring the cultural and thematic threads that bind these films together.

In 1951, eighteen-year-old Lee Bouvier and her twenty-two-year-old sister Jacqueline took their first trip to Europe together. Jackie had already spent a year in France living with a French family and attending the Sorbonne. Her many cards and letters had made her sister Lee want nothing more than to see Europe with Jackie. Having convinced their parents, the two young ladies set off to see the continent. As they traveled, they sketched and kept notes, creating an illustrated journal of their time abroad, which they presented to their parents as a thank you upon their return; that delightful chronicle is ONE SPECIAL SUMMER. Join Jackie and Lee for a tantalizing glimpse of a lost world: crossing the Atlantic by ocean liner, visits with counts and ambassadors in Paris, art lessons in Venice, and white gloves in the afternoon. Smile at the social agonies all young women suffer in common--how to politely consume an oversized hors d''oeuvre, the horror of slipping undergarments, and the art of fending off unwanted romantic advances.

„În 1964, ca parte dintr-un proiect de istorie orală despre viaţa şi cariera lui John F. Kennedy, mama mea a intrat într-un dialog cu Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. pentru a-şi împărtăşi amintirile şi percepţia asupra lucrurilor. Înregistrate la mai puţin de patru luni după moartea soţului ei, aceste conversaţii reprezintă un dar făcut istoriei... Sper că tinerele generaţii care încep să afle mai multe despre anii 1960 vor considera aceste rememorări o introducere utilă în modul în care se face istoria şi vor găsi în ele inspiraţia de a oferi ceva acestei ţări care ne-a oferit tuturor atât de multe.“

In 1964 sprak Jacqueline Kennedy uitvoerig met de Amerikaanse historicus en Pulitzer Prizewinnaar Arthur M. Schlesinger jr. over haar leven met John F. Kennedy. Ter gelegenheid van de vijftigste verjaardag van de inauguratie van John F. Kennedy als president van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika heeft de familie Kennedy besloten dit unieke historische materiaal openbaar te maken. Jacqueline Kennedy en Arthur M. Schlesinger jr. voerden nog geen half jaar na de moord op haar man president John F. Kennedy, zeven gesprekken met een totale lengte van achtenhalf uur. Deze gesprekken bieden een unieke en fascinerende blik achter de schermen van het presidentschap van John F. Kennedy en leveren nieuwe inzichten op aangaande de zwaarwegende beslissingen die hij gedurende zijn korte regeerperiode heeft genomen. De gesprekken tussen Jacqueline Kennedy en Arthur M. Schlesinger jr. zijn in deze rijk geïllustreerde uitgave vertaald en integraal weergegeven. Caroline Kennedy, dochter van Jacqueline en John Fitzgerald, schreef het voorwoord en vooraanstaand historicus Michael Beschloss verzorgde de inleiding en annotaties.

Eine der unvergesslichen Frauen des 20. Jahrhunderts erinnert sich an die Ehe mit John F. Kennedy und ihre - privaten wie öffentlichen - Erfahrungen. Ein Resümee, fast 50 Jahre unter Verschluss gehalten: vom Aufstieg eines Weltpolitikers bis zum dramatischen Ende, dem Attentat in Dallas. In tiefster Trauer über den Verlust ihres dreieinhalb Monate zuvor ermordeten Mannes empfängt Jacqueline Kennedy Anfang März 1964 den Historiker Arthur M. Schlesinger und gewährt ihm sieben Interviews, insgesamt sechseinhalb Stunden lang. Sie gibt ihm überraschende Einblicke in Kennedys Wirken als Senator und späterer Präsident der USA, erzählt von ihren Gesprächen mit ihm, von ihrer Rolle in seiner politischen Karriere. Sie wirft interessante, von feinem Gespür zeugende Schlaglichter auf Begegnungen mit bedeutenden Männern und weltbewegende Ereignisse wie die Kubakrise. Und auch private Belange rücken in den Blick, etwa der Glaube ihres Mannes, die Verbundenheit der Kennedy-Brüder und ihr eigenes Hineinwachsen in die Rolle der First Lady.

"Henny always keeps a tight watch over her flock; she never lets them out of her sight . . . The feathers are picked one by one. Oh my goodness, Foxy thinks to herself, I am going to be the best-looking hen." Foxy and Henny is a fable teaching empowering characteristics such as holding your head high, walking with confidence, being kind because bullying is aggressive behavior, standing up and protecting others, saying something if you see something; and being committed to an idea.

In 2001, I was estranged from my abusive husband. With God''s help I had FINALLY created the means to financially support my children. What started out as a legitimate income tax filing business somehow turned into a house of cards. First, I began the slippery slope of offering certain services to other; then the friendly smiles and innocent questions from others as to how I ran my business and the particulars of the "program" I offered became more. My good intentions became twisted by others actions. Little did I know I would be caught up in a web of lies and faced with betrayal on various levels a few years later from those who were friends so close they were like family. Family also would add to the betrayal. Wolves come to devour, and I was ripe for the picking. When did the web of lies start? How did things go from black and white to various shades of grey? When did the greed of others lead to betrayal and the start of my downfall? How does a person do things and then not hold their own weight, but instead try to throw things off on someone else? From running and hiding from the Federal Marshalls, working for hours on end to cover my tracks while still trying to be a mother and protect my children and the ones in my care to finally ending up in Federal Prison based partly on the lies of others who were not solid enough to carry their own weigh; as well as my own misguided actions. I went from building myself up from the ground; having it all; to eventually losing what I had built. I watched my hard work and dedication go up in smoke. BUT GOD.... I emerge from the ashes by God''s Grace! I am Jacqueline Kennedy, indicted as part of what the United States Government has labeled as "One of the Largest Fictitious Employer Unemployment Fraud Schemes ever to be prosecuted" causing a loss of over $8.7 MILLION and which spanned several states. I have been a Victim Labeled a Villain. But I am emerging Victorious. This is MY STORY!

Jacqueline Kennedy, née Bouvier, n''a laissé ni autobiographie ni mémoires. " Son silence sur son passé, rappela le New York Times à sa mort en 1994, surtout sur les années Kennedy et son mariage avec le Président, a toujours été voilé de mystère. " C''est donc un document exceptionnel que ces entretiens, demeurés secrets pendant presque cinquante ans : au printemps 1964, quelques mois seulement après la mort de son mari, elle a accepté de revenir sur ces années cruciales avec l''historien Arthur M Schlesinger. Dans cette contribution unique, il est évidemment beaucoup question de John F. Kennedy : sa vie de sénateur, ses campagnes, sa foi catholique, ses relations avec ses frères. II y est aussi question de leur couple, de ce qu''ils se disaient en privé, et de la conception qu''avait Jacqueline du rôle de " First Lady". L''Histoire se rencontre à chaque ligne, depuis les visites d''Etat où Mme Kennedy suivait son époux (en France notamment où elle s''est entretenue avec de Gaulle) jusqu''à la tourmente de la crise de Cuba ; on croise les portraits des principales figures politiques de l''époque Khrouchtchev, Nehru, Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, dont certaines ne sont guère épargnées... La "Jackie" qui se découvre ici est neuve, véritablement : loin de l''icône des magazines de mode, c''est une jeune femme de trente-quatre ans qui s''exprime avec une émotion à fleur de peau. Son deuil tout proche ne l''empêche pas d''être pleinement consciente du poids historique de sa parole, et soucieuse d''offrir un témoignage sincère à la postérité.
