Produktbeschreibung
An intimate look at the awe-inspiring president of Ukraine-Volodymyr Zelensky, the new hero of the West-through an expansive book of his quotations covering his stance on a wide variety of issues, from acting and climate change to war and peace. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, people all over the world have reacted with horror and revulsion. At the same time, they have been heartened by the inspirational words and courageous actions of Volodymyr Zelensky, the 44-year-old President of Ukraine, who frequently reassures his beleaguered people while standing up to an autocratic madman who possesses the power to launch a nuclear holocaust. Zelensky is the hero we didn't know we needed-or maybe we did. Right now, the world wants to know more about Ukraine's heroic and inspiring president, and the best way to do that will be with Volodymyr Zelensky in His Own Words, an expansive book of quotations that covers Zelensky's words and opinions on a wide spectrum of issues-from war and peace to climate change and LGTBQ rights. Readers will be able to open up the book to any page and see where Zelensky stands. Given his previous life as a comedian and Ukraine's most famous actor, there are plenty of quotes that provide a more nuanced picture of this man who has enthralled and inspired people around the world.
