NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • President Joe Biden, the author of Promise Me, Dad, tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president. “I remain captivated by the possibilities of politics and public service. In fact, I believe that my chosen profession is a noble calling.”—Joe Biden Joe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American history. In Promises to Keep, Joe Biden reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. With his customary candor and wit, Biden movingly recounts growing up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career setbacks; his relationships with presidents, with world leaders, and with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees.

It is also a stirring testament to the promise of the United States. Praise for Promises to Keep “A ripping good read . . . Biden is a master storyteller and has stories worth telling.”—The Christian Science Monitor “A compelling personal story.”—The New York Times “Moving . . . [Biden’s] response to tragedy and near death [is] both admirable and likable.”—Salon

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller: From President Joe Biden, a deeply moving memoir about the year that would change both a family and a country. In November 2014, thirteen members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past forty years. But this year felt different from all those that had come before. Joe and Jill Biden''s eldest son, Beau, had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor fifteen months earlier, and his survival was uncertain. "Promise me, Dad," Beau had told his father. "Give me your word that no matter what happens, you''re going to be all right." Joe Biden gave him his word. Promise Me, Dad chronicles the year that followed, which would be the most momentous and challenging in Joe Biden''s extraordinary life and career. As vice president, Biden traveled more than a hundred thousand miles that year, across the world, dealing with crises in Ukraine, Central America, and Iraq. When a call came from New York, or Capitol Hill, or Kyiv, or Baghdad—"Joe, I need your help"—he responded. For twelve months, while Beau fought for and then lost his life, the vice president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his responsibilities to his country and his responsibilities to his family. And never far away was the insistent and urgent question of whether he should seek the presidency in 2016. Writing with poignancy and immediacy, Promise Me, Dad is a story of how family and friendships sustain us and how hope, purpose, and action can guide us through the pain of personal loss into the light of a new future.

Os desafios do atual candidato à presidência dos Estados Unidos em um ano que mudou para sempre sua família e um país inteiro Em novembro de 2014, a família Biden se reuniu para o Dia de Ação de Graças. A data marcava uma tradição que os Biden celebram há mais de quarenta anos, uma pausa no que se tornou uma vida agitada, repleta de compromissos e submetida ao incessante julgamento público. O feriado, portanto, sempre foi uma folga bem-vinda, um momento de refletir sobre as bênçãos e provações que o ano havia trazido e sobre o que o futuro lhes reservaria. Daquela vez, no entanto, a viagem foi diferente. Quinze meses antes, Beau, filho mais velho de Joe e Jill Biden, havia sido diagnosticado com um tumor maligno no cérebro, e sua sobrevivência já não era mais uma certeza. “Me prometa, papai. Me dê sua palavra que, não importa o que acontecer, você vai ficar bem”, foi o apelo do filho. Joe Biden lhe deu sua palavra. Promessa de pai narra os acontecimentos de 2015, o ano que viria a ser até então o mais importante e desafiador de uma vida e uma carreira extraordinárias. Como vice-presidente de Barack Obama, naquele ano Biden lidou com crises na Ucrânia, na América Central e no Iraque. Naqueles doze meses em que Beau travou até o fim a luta pela vida, o vice-presidente dividiu-se entre suas responsabilidades com o país e suas responsabilidades como pai e marido. Entretanto, até nos piores momentos, Biden foi capaz de se apoiar na força de seus profundos laços com a família, de sua fé e de sua verdadeira amizade com Obama. Um livro escrito com emoção e vigor que nos mostra como a família e as amizades nos sustentam e sobre como a esperança, o propósito e a ação podem nos guiar através da dor da perda em direção a um novo futuro.

Joe Biden è stato testimone e protagonista di una fase fondamentale della storia americana. In Promesse da mantenere rivela ciò che queste esperienze gli hanno insegnato su se stesso, i suoi colleghi e le istituzioni degli Stati Uniti d’America. Con l’onestà e lo spirito che gli sono consueti, Biden racconta com’è cresciuto in una famiglia multigenerazionale fervidamente cattolica a Scranton, in Pennsylvania, e a Wilmington, nel Delaware; come ha superato una tragedia personale, una grave malattia e alcune battute d’arresto nella sua carriera politica; e ancora, il suo rapporto con presidenti, leader mondiali e legislatori dei due principali partiti statunitensi, e il modo in cui ha diretto i lavori di commissioni senatoriali altamente influenti. Attraverso questi e altri ricordi, Biden ci mostra come i princìpi ispiratori da lui appresi nella prima parte della sua vita – lavorare per migliorare la vita delle persone, onorare la famiglia e la fede, dare valore alla perseveranza, alla franchezza e all’onestà – siano il fondamento su cui ha basato il suo lavoro di una vita come marito, padre e uomo pubblico. Promesse da mantenere è una raccolta di riflessioni intime di un politico che ha superato numerose sfide prima di diventare il leader della più grande potenza occidentale, ma che è rimasto soprattutto un uomo che ancora si rifiuta di cedere al cinismo dilagante, e firma un emozionante vademecum per il futuro degli Stati Uniti, e del mondo intero.

Yhdysvaltain 46. presidentin koskettava ja välitön muistelma. ”Lupaa minulle, isä. Anna sanasi siitä, että kävi miten kävi, sinä pärjäät.” Joe Biden antoi sanansa vanhimmalle pojalleen Beaulle. Lupaa minulle, isä kronikoi Joe Bidenin poikkeuksellisen elämän ja uran mullistavinta ja haastavinta vuotta. Poikansa taistellessa henkensä edestä ja sitten menehdyttyä varapresidentti tasapainoili kahden velvollisuuden välillä palvellen sekä maataan että perhettään. Vuosi toi mukanaan suurta riemua ja saavutuksia mutta myös musertavaa tuskaa. Vaikeimmillakin hetkillä Joe Biden onnistui nojautumaan pitkien ja vahvojen perhesiteidensä voimaan, uskoonsa ja syvenevään ystävyyteensä presidentti Barack Obaman kanssa. Biden kirjoittaa koskettavasti ja välittömästi antaen lukijan tuntea kunkin hetken ainutkertaisuuden. Lupaa minulle, isä on tarina siitä, miten omaiset ja ystävyyssuhteet tukevat meitä ja miten toivo, tahto ja toiminta voivat ohjata meitä surun läpi uuden tulevaisuuden valoon. Joe Biden edusti Delawarea Yhdysvaltojen senaatissa 36 vuotta ennen kuin palveli 47. varapresidenttinä 2009–2017. Varapresidentti Biden jatkoi työtään kaikille yhtäläisten mahdollisuuksien edistäjänä perustamalla Biden Foundationin, Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engangementin, joka toimii University of Pennsylvanian yhteydessä, sekä University of Delawareen kuuluvan Biden Institute for Domestic Policyn. Biden valittiin Yhdysvaltojen 46. presidentiksi 2020.

DER MÄCHTIGSTE MANN DER WELT - VON SEINER PERSÖNLICHSTEN SEITE Joe Bidens autobiografisches Buch «Versprich es mir» war in den USA wochenlang auf Platz 1 der Bestsellerliste und erscheint nun erstmals auf Deutsch. In seiner Zeit als Vizepräsident unter Barack Obama musste Joe Biden machtlos zusehen, wie sein ältester Sohn Beau, Hoffnungsträger der Demokratischen Partei, an einem unheilbaren Gehirntumor erkrankte und seinen Kampf gegen den Krebs schließlich verlor. Wie wird ein Vater, wie wird eine Familie mit einer solchen Tragödie fertig? Bidens ergreifendes Memoir bietet einen einmaligen Einblick in das Innenleben des designierten nächsten Präsidenten der USA. Im November 2014 versammelten sich die Bidens in Nantucket, um gemeinsam Thanksgiving zu feiern – eine Familientradition seit vierzig Jahren. Aber diesmal fühlte sich alles anders an. Bei Beau, dem ältesten Sohn von Joe Biden, war zuvor ein Hirntumor diagnostiziert worden, und sein Überleben war ungewiss. «Versprich es mir», sagte der kranke Sohn seinem Vater. «Versprich mir, dass du klarkommst, ganz egal, was passiert.» Joe Biden gab ihm sein Wort. Das darauffolgende Jahr stellte ihn auf eine schwere Probe. Der damalige Vizepräsident reiste mehr als hunderttausend Meilen quer durch die Welt und befasste sich mit schwierigen Krisen in der Ukraine, Mittelamerika und dem Irak. Während sein Sohn zu Hause um sein Leben kämpfte, stellte sich Joe Biden der Verantwortung für sein Land und versuchte dennoch für die Familie da zu sein. Bidens Memoir ist das Buch eines Politikers, aber mehr noch eines Vaters, Großvaters, Freundes und Ehemanns. Es ist die Geschichte vom Leid einer Familie, aber auch von Hoffnung und Zuversicht.
