Dalla quarta di copertina
'That Gould should have conceived of writing such a book at all, and that he did so with such honesty, shows a profound generosity . . . very, very moving' Cressida Connolly, Spectator
When I Die is Philip Gould's account of his long, painful but ultimately optimistic journey towards death, during which time he realised something that he had never heard articulated before: death need not be only negative or painful, it can be life-affirming and revelatory. A book about life far more than death, this is a unique work from a man who was loved and revered during a lifetime of extraordinary achievement. Written during his last months, When I Die is as courageous, valuable and uplifting a legacy to the world as anyone could wish to bestow.
'This profoundly moving and inspirational book not only recounts his experiences but also seeks to make sense of terminal disease and dying' Leyla Sanai, Independent
'The book's power comes from the urgency and simplicity of his message, and is given depth by his family's perspective on his death. At a time when so few of us know how to face the inevitability of our own extinction, Gould has provided an admirable model' Jenni Russell, Sunday Times
'Gould bears witness to the way that death from cancer frightens us, and he strengthens us by describing his own fears and the way he overcame them' Richard Holloway, The Times

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. On 29 January 2008 Philip Gould was told he had cancer. He was stoical, and set about his treatment, determined to fight his illness. In the face of difficult decisions he sought always to understand the disease and the various medical options open to him, supported by his wife Gail and their two daughters, Georgia and Grace.In 2010, after two hard years of chemotherapy and surgery, the tests came up clear - Philip appeared to have won the battle. But his work as a key strategist for the Labour party took its toll, and feeling ill six months later, he insisted on one extra, precautionary test, which told him that the cancer had returned. Thus began Philip's long, painful but ultimately optimistic journey towards death, during which time he began to appreciate and make sense of his life, his work and his relationships in a way he had never thought possible. He realized something that he had never heard articulated before: death need not be only negative or painful, it can be life-affirming and revelatory.Written during the last few months of his life, When I Die describes the journey Philip took with his illness, leaving to us what he called his lessons from the death zone. This courageous, profoundly moving and inspiring work is as valuable a legacy to the world as anyone could wish to bestow - hugely uplifting, beautifully written with extraordinary insight. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005206975
