Unusual book
Dive into the gripping world of power, politics, and ambition with "Mit aller Macht. Primary Colors.", a compelling novel published in 1996 by List. While attributed to "Anonymus," this German-language edition translates and repackages Joe Klein's bestselling and controversial "Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics," which captivated readers and sparked intense speculation about the real-life figures it mirrored. This hardcover edition, spanning 471 pages, offers a substantial and immersive reading experience. "Primary Colors" (and thus "Mit aller Macht") is a thinly veiled roman clef that follows the campaign of Governor Jack Stanton, a charismatic and popular Southern politician with ambitions for the presidency. Seen through the eyes of Henry Burton, a young and idealistic campaign staffer, the novel exposes the seductive allure of power, the compromises required for political success, and the moral ambiguities that haunt those who strive for the highest office. The narrative delves into Stanton's complex personality, his relationships, and the scandals that threaten to derail his ascent. The book's initial anonymity in its English publication fueled widespread speculation that the author was a seasoned political insider, someone with firsthand knowledge of the inner workings of a presidential campaign. While Joe Klein later revealed himself as the author, the mystique surrounding the book's origins only added to its popularity and critical acclaim. "Mit aller Macht" offers German-speaking readers the chance to experience this captivating story, translated into their language and presented in a sturdy hardcover edition. Beyond the political intrigue, "Mit aller Macht" explores themes of idealism versus pragmatism, loyalty versus ambition, and the corrosive effect of power on individuals and institutions. The characters are richly drawn and believable, and the plot is full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This edition, published by List, captures the essence of the original while presenting it in a high-quality format perfect for collectors and avid readers alike. Measuring in at a weight of 730g it is a book that provides a comfortable reading experience and will stand up to the rigours of time.
