Peres Shimon: Nema mjesta za male snove

Shimon Peres: No room for small dreams

Courage, imagination and the creation of modern Israel

»I don't regret any of my dreams. My only regret is that I didn't dream more." -Shimon Peres

No Room for Small Dreams: Courage, Imagination and the Creation of Modern Israel is not an ordinary autobiography or a history book. It is a roadmap for the future intended above all for the younger generation.
In this unique work, his only autobiography, Shimon Peres (1923 - 2016), winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, politician and statesman of vast experience, writes about the most important decisions he had to make in his life and recalls the moments that shaped his life and laid the foundations of the State of Israel. Shimon Peres writes about his contribution to the construction of a young state and his role in the establishment of Israel's nuclear program, but also about the efforts to save Israel from economic ruin and about its transformation into a startup nation. Of course, he also writes about his tireless quest for peace.
Shimon Peres candidly narrates the events that marked the decades of history of the young state of Israel, paying equal attention to what happened and why it happened.
Examining the pivotal moments of Israel's rise, Shimon Peres explores what makes people great leaders, how to make difficult decisions in an environment of uncertainty and perdition, how to face the challenge of finding a balance between principle and politics, and how to use the wondrous power of imagination and spontaneous innovation.
At the same time, he not only shows the way to a better future for his beloved country, but also offers important and universal thoughts useful to younger generations, those who want to take the lead in politics and the business world, and especially those who want to be at the service of achieving a wider goal - to make our planet a safer, more peaceful and fairer place.
The book is equipped with a foreword by prof. Ph.D. Dragana Primorca My friendship with Shimon Persa, afterword by prof. Ph.D. Mirjane Kasapović A heavy burden of history and photographs from the private and professional life of Shimon Peres.

About the book:
"He considered himself a philosopher. I considered him a mentor and a friend. Some considered him a leader, and some a politician. In my eyes, he was and remains a dreamer, but one of the few dreamers who made almost all his dreams come true."
Prof. Ph.D. Dragan Primorac

"Shimon Peres was a giant of the founding generation of Israel, a tireless advocate of peace and an eternal optimist who lived his life imbued with a sense of hope and possibility. He also became my dear friend and a source of wisdom for many. We can all learn a lot from his story, which now belongs to eternity."
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America
