Pełny opis

In 2008, J.K. Rowling delivered a deeply affecting commencement speech at Harvard University. Now published for the first time in book form, Very Good Lives offers J.K. Rowling's words of wisdom for anyone at a turning point in life, asking the profound and provocative questions: How can we embrace failure? And how can we use our imagination to better both ourselves and others?§§Drawing from stories of her own post-graduate years, the world-famous author addresses some of life's most important issues with acuity and emotional force.§§Sales of Very Good Lives will benefit Lumos, a charity organisation founded by J.K. Rowling, which works to transform the lives of disadvantaged children, and university-wide financial aid at Harvard University.§§Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust said, "I have heard and read many commencement speeches, none more moving and memorable than J.K. Rowling's. Years after her visit to Harvard, people still talk about it - and still find inspiration in her singular evocation of the idea that living a meaningful life so often means daring to risk failure. What a powerful example she embodies, and what a remarkable gift her speech was, and is, for all of us privileged to hear it then - and to read it now."
