This bestseller covers a single momentous year during Nins life in Paris, when she met Henry Miller and his wife, June. Closer to what many sexually adventuresome women experience than almost anything Ive ever read....I found it a very erotic book and profoundly liberating (Alice Walker). The source of a major motion picture from Universal. Preface by Rupert Pole; Index.

This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered. In this book, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process. Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, was a number one national best seller and, like The Path to Power, received the National Book Critics Circle Award. "Powerful and stirring. A monumental political saga...It's an overwhelming experience to read The Path to Power." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times "Stands at the pinnacle of the biographical art." -- Donald Morris, Houston Post "By every measure -- depth of research, brilliance of conception, the seamless flow of the prose -- The Path to Power is a masterpiece of biography." -- Dan Cryer, Newsday "A superb and unique biography...Meticulous in research, grand in scale, this is a major work that will remain a tower of its kind." -- Barbara Tuchman "An awesome achievement! Not only a historical but a literary event...An epic biography...What brings Caro's story -- and it is a story -- to life is his astonishing concern for the humanity of his characters: the plight of a Hill Country family; the reserve of Lady Bird Johnson; the lonely integrity of Sam Rayburn." -- Peter Prescott, Newsweek

Persepolis我在伊朗长大》全系列共四册，在法国推出时大获好评，被译成十多种文字，并获得了包括2004年德国法兰克福书展「最佳漫画奖」等多个漫画书大奖。 《Persepolis: 我在伊朗长大》这套连环图述说了一个伊朗小女孩在伊斯兰革命时期的成长故事。这个小女孩经历了国王被推翻、伊斯兰革命、与伊拉克战争等国家大事。伊朗作者玛嘉·莎塔碧（Marjane Satrapi）述说的正是她本人的成长经验。 作者玛嘉·莎塔碧（Marjane Satrapi）运用简单的线条和黑白对比带出这个震撼人心的故事。大量黑色的运用令画面充满力量。随着主角Marji的成长，大家可以深入地了解伊朗的历史、政治和文化。 本书是《Persepolis我在伊朗长大》系列书之一《面纱》。 与其说这是绘本，莫不如说是多格漫画。黑白的色调，版画般的质感，很有风格。作者玛赞·莎塔碧生于伊朗，后来到欧洲求学并在世界范围内发表漫画作品，她在书中将自己对于伊朗这一神秘而古老国度的个人记忆描绘出来，表达方式是轻松幽默的，画面内涵却涉及成长、亲情、宗教、政治等主题。 ——中华读书报 人们谈起这个伟大的文明古国，总是将她与原教旨主义，狂热主义和恐怖主义联系在一起。我们为一个在伊朗长大的伊朗人，知道这个形象远非真实。 正因为此，创作《Persepolis：我在伊朗长大》对我来说才这么重要。我认为，不应该根据少数几个极端分子的恶劣行为而对整个国家做出评判。我也不希望人们忘记那些为了捍卫自由而在狱中失去生命、在两伊战争中丧生、在各种暴政统治下遭受折磨、或被迫离开亲人和祖国的伊朗人。 人可以原谅，但绝不应该忘记。 ——玛赞·莎塔碧
