The Measure of a Man
- A Spiritual Autobiography
- Narrateur(s): Sidney Poitier
- Durée: 7 h et 55 min
- Date de publication: 2007-01-26
- Langue: Anglais
- Artist, Author... Astounding.
- Truly and inspiring and thought-inducing experience. This is not a typical autobiography. As a black actor professionally active in the ‘biz’ for over twenty-five years, Mr. Poitier has always been a personal role model and hero. He uses his life as a guide for those seeking integrity, purpose and dignity in their own. Here, we are privy to the insights gained from the perspective of a mature artist who never forgot where he came from. His interpretations of his personal and professional experiences, both the good and bad, the honourable and the less so, allow for a deeper insight into what it means to live a fully accountable life. And, I love the way that he speaks; that voice; such conviction. —Cassel, Audible Listener

In this deeply personal book, the celebrated Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat reflects on art and exile. Inspired by Albert Camus and adapted from her own lectures for Princeton University’s Toni Morrison Lecture Series, here Danticat tells stories of artists who create despite (or because of) the horrors that drove them from their homelands. Combining memoir and essay, these moving and eloquent pieces examine what it means to be an artist from a country in crisis.
