卡特所出版的部分图书封面集锦
美国迄今最长寿的前总统吉米·卡特终于走完了漫长的百岁人生旅程，他虽然仅干了一届总统就在竞选连任中惨败而黯然下台，但卸任后却因不懈地从事国际事务和慈善事业而被国际社会和美国人公认为美国最伟大的总统之一。
实际上，鲜为人知的是卡特还是一位多产的畅销书作家，一生出书20多部，既有严肃的政治和宗教类著作，也有诗歌、小说和儿童故事等轻松的文学作品，不少著作深受全世界的读者喜爱，其中8部著作还被翻译成中文在中国出版发行。
他的回忆录《黎明前的一小时》2002年入围美国普利策奖；他2006年的畅销书《巴勒斯坦：和平而非种族隔离》，因将以色列在约旦河西岸的政策比作南非残酷的种族隔离制度，引发激烈争论。就在卡特百岁生日前夕，代顿文学和平奖基金会授予他终身成就奖，以表彰他运用“文字的力量促进和平、社会正义与全球理解”。
在其近期的作品《充实的一生》中，卡特说自己“享受写作”并称写书是为了扩大他“急需的收入来源”。但有些书的写作却具有挑战性，甚至引起他与妻子的尖锐分歧。
1987年，卡特与妻子罗莎琳决定合著《一切皆有所获》一书，未曾想对于卡特这位曾成功促成以色列和巴勒斯坦在戴维营签署和平协议的调解人却在写这部书时与妻子陷入了一场难以解决的僵局，卡特回忆说，这本书差点成为“我们婚姻中遭遇过的最严重危机”。
据卡特说，罗莎琳是位一丝不苟的作者，她对待自己写出来的句子就像是从西奈山传下来、刻在石碑上的圣言不愿改动；他们对各种事件的记忆也存在差异，因此常常“争吵不断”。因而，他们一度准备放弃这本书并退回出版商的预付款，直到编辑说服他们，将有争议的段落分开处理。
卡特风趣地写道：“在书中，我们将有争议的段落分别标上‘J’（代表吉米·卡特所著）或‘R’（代表罗莎琳所著），”才解决了两人的分歧，并使“我们的婚姻也因此得以维系。”

How co-writing a book threatened the Carters’ marriage. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, NEW YORK (AP). December 30, 2024
No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter.
His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation.
And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.”
In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others.
“Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them.
“In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote.
Former President Jimmy Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and the longest-living chief executive in U.S. history, has died. He was 100.
The 39th U.S. president died on Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care. Live updates and reaction here.
Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker. Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions. These are the significant milestones in his life and career.
