Motor Mille elsker cirkus! Faktisk elsker hun det så meget, at hun drømmer om at stå i manegen og optræde med nervepirrende numre. Så derfor kører hun land og rige rundt på sin motorcykel for at besøge Cirkus Arena, Cirkus Krone, Cirkus Arli, Cirkus Kæphøj, Cirkus Mascot og Cirkus Baldoni. Du kan også komme med på Motor Milles cirkuseventyrrejse. Hun møder artister, fortæller cirkushistorier og lærer at kende forskel på cirkusteltene. Bare hop op, og kør med! Mille Gori (f. 1989) er kendt fra flere af DR Ramasjangs populære børneprogrammer, blandt andet "Børnebanden", "Monster Buster" og "Cirkus Summarum".

„Jeg lever løs og synes, at man skal behandle hver dag, som om den var den eneste, man har,” sagde Astrid Lindgren. Hun døde som 94-årig i 2002. Ordene ”Denne dag, et liv” mødte hun første gang som ung oprørsk pige i 1925. De fulgte hende gennem livet, i kærligheden og i kunsten som et mantra, som en form for ledetråd i menneskets uforskammet korte liv: Grib det, nyd det, brug det! Den kunst forstod Astrid Lindgren, hvad enten hun befandt sig i naturen, forsvandt dybt ind i en skriveproces, legede heks med sine små slægtninge, kæmpede for børnebogens status, for unges rettigheder, eller som ældre trådte i karakter som miljøaktivist, fredsforkæmper og filantrop. DENNE DAG, ET LIV er den første nordiske Astrid Lindgren-biografi i 40 år. Den fortæller en ny historie, den går bag forfatterskabets facade, og skildrer forfatterens tanker og handlinger, kampe, nederlag og sejre, drømme og depressioner. Bogen bygger på et væld af hidtil ukendte, aldrig tidligere publicerede breve, dagbøger og fotos, samt på halvandet års samtaler med Astrid Lindgrens datter, Karin Nyman, der på nærmeste hold fulgte sin berømte mors karriere og splittede forhold til berømmelse, rigdom, ensomhed, magt - og mænd. Indlæst af Henrik Hartivig Jørgensen 2014.

Denne dag, et liv

En rejse gennem cykelsportens største løb, dens historier og personligheder. Professionel cykling er lige så ond, løgnagtig, smuk og sand som livet selv, og derfor er den vores kærlighed værd.

A heart-warming nostalgia memoir from a member of the world famous dance troupe, The Tiller Girls. Based in London in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Irene’s story will transport readers back to a more innocent, simple way of life. This is the story of a little girl who loved to dance. Growing up in London in the 1930s, dancing was so much more to Irene than just a hobby. It was her escape and it took her off into another world away from the harsh realities of life. A fairytale world away from the horrors of WW2, from the grief of losing her father and missing her mother who she didn’t see for three years while she was drafted to help with the war effort. And far away from her cold-hearted grandparents who treated her like an inconvenience. Finally it led to her winning a place as a Tiller Girl; the world’s most famous dance troupe known for their 32-and-a-half high kicks a minute and precise, symmetrical routines. For four years she opened and closed the show at the prestigious London Palladium and performed on stage alongside huge stars such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Judy Garland. It was a strange mixture of glamour and bloody hard work but it was certainly never dull. And being a Tiller Girl also gave Irene the opportunity to see firsthand the devastating effects of WW2, both here and abroad. Heart-warming, enlightening and wonderfully uplifting, Irene’s evocative story will transport readers back to a time when every town and holiday resort had several theatres and when dance troupes like The Tiller Girls were the epitome of glitz and glamour.

Virginia Woolfs essay Eget værelse blev til på baggrund af to forelæsninger i 1928 om kvinder og litteratur og om den kvindelige kunstners mulighed for at gøre sig gældende i en mandsverden. Det kræver, at "En kvinde må have penge og et værelse for sig selv, hvis hun skal skrive skønlitteratur." Bogen fik med sine tanker om kvinden som selvstændigt individ med økonomisk og arbejdsmæssig selvstændighed en banebrydende betydning for kvindefrigørelsen og er fortsat et centralt værk i feminismen og den feministiske litteraturkritik. Tankerne fremsættes med humor, vrede, ironi og skarpsindighed under vandringer med besigtigelse af natur og institutioner, besøg og middage, hvor en historisk gennemgang af kvindelige forfattere blandes med fiktive forestillinger. Eget værelse er et af Virginia Woolfs mest betydende værker, men også et af de lettest tilgængelige og mest populære. "Måske endnu mere væsentlig i dag end den var i 1928. For den rummer den forståelse af begge køns dilemma, som vi må og skal frem til, om vi ikke skal stå i stampe i gensidig 'kønsracisme' og skældsordsudveksling." – Elsa Gress, forordet til Eget værelse "En feministisk klassiker." – John Chr. Jørgensen, Politiken "Jeg kan ikke ryste Virginia Woolfs dæmpede stemme af mig efter at have læst bogen Eget værelse. Hendes klare, dybtgående tankerække som hun fører læseren ind i, sikkert og vedkommende, sidder stadig i baghovedet. Det er lidt af en åbenbaring at åbne den bog og glide ind i hendes lange, gennemarbejdede sætninger." – Bente Clod "… det er et essay, der stadig kan kaste lys over både feminisme og feministfejder, med det suveræne overblik Virginia Woolf tillader sig at have." – Tine Byrckel, Information

In Just Kids, Patti Smith’s first book of prose, the legendary American artist offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies. An honest and moving story of youth and friendship, Smith brings the same unique, lyrical quality to Just Kids as she has to the rest of her formidable body of work—from her influential 1975 album Horses to her visual art and poetry.

Så grin dog! er en livsbekræftende og åbenhjertig fortælling om en af vores mest elskede og originale kunstnere. Skuespilleren, komikeren og cirkusdirektøren Søren Østergaard åbner døren til en fortælling om en gøgler, en drømmer og et viljestærkt menneske, der både har fået sit eget cirkus, et tivoli, kunst på sine vægge, et hus i Italien og et i Nordsjælland, verdens eneste cirkusvogn med varme i badeværelsesgulvet, en hund, der hedder Bob, og en hustru – Lisbet Lundquist – der gør ham lykkelig hver dag. Som cirkusdirektør har Østergaard med dødsforagt entreret med personligheder som Smadremanden, Målermanden, Bager-Jørgen og Marianne, kort sagt en perlerække af store egoer – kunstneriske legender, der i denne bog løfter sløret for, hvordan de oplever livet i cirkus, og ikke mindst hvordan de ser på cirkusdirektøren. Bogen er også en fortælling om livets op- og nedture, om forældrenes skilsmisse og en far, der ikke havde meget til overs for sønnens drøm om at blive skuespiller. Søren fortæller ligeledes om en sygdom, der er blevet en følgesvend og et vilkår, han må leve med. På trods af den store anerkendelse, en fornem karriere med både sjove og seriøse roller, anmelderros og år efter år et fyldt cirkustelt, er Søren Østergaard stadig et beskedent menneske, der kan tvivle på, om det, han laver, nu også er godt nok. Som han siger, når han inviteres på middage på parnasset: ”Hvad ser de i mig?” Lisbet Lundquist deltager med skønne anekdoter og kærlige lovprisninger.

"Efter at Mesterlære udkom i 2011, er der sket mange afgørende ting i mit liv. Jeg kan se, hvordan forestillingen om det gode, det højere og den bedste udgave af mig selv har været en drivkraft, men også hvordan den forestilling har skabt fjendskab i mit eget liv.Bogen handler om, hvordan jeg er kommet til forsoning med mig selv – fred i eget hus. Og om efter et langt liv at have fundet et nyt syn på kærlighed."Peter BastianDen 20. marts 2017 Sådan skrev musikeren Peter Bastian, en uge før han døde efter flere års sygdom, 73 år gammel. Ordene faldt som en indledning til denne bog, der gengiver Bastians begejstring og forundring over at være nået frem til en tro på at være altid allerede elsket. Et tankevækkende indblik i et menneskes inderlige længsel efter kærlighed.Bogen blev til ved en samtale på Arresødal Hospice, hvor forfatteren Tor Nørretranders var på besøg 11 dage før Peter Bastians død. De to venner talte sig gennem alt det, Peter Bastian havde på hjerte. En let redigeret båndudskrift blev til bogens tekst. Bogens billeder er udvalgt af Lars H.U.G. blandt tegninger og malerier udført af Peter Bastian gennem et langt liv.

Altid allerede elsket

This is not a book of facts; it’s a book of ‘facts’. Should you finish it believing we became the planet’s dominant species because predators found us too smelly to eat; or that the living bloodline of Christ is a family of Japanese garlic farmers – well, that’s on you. Why are we here? Do ghosts exist? Did life on Earth begin after a badly tidied-up picnic? Was it just an iceberg that sank the Titanic? Are authors stealing their plotlines from the future? Will we ever talk to animals? And why, when you’re in the shower, does the shower curtain always billow in towards you? We don’t know the answers to any of these questions. But don’t worry, no matter what questions you have, you can bet on the fact that there is someone (or something) out there, investigating it on your behalf. From the sports stars who use cosmic energy to office plants investigating murders, The Theory of Everything Else will act as a handbook for those who want to think differently.

The Theory of Everything Else

Denne bog beretter om Tove Ditlevsens liv og digtning. Den fortæller om hendes opvækst på det fattigste Vesterbro, om hendes kamp for at blive digter, om hendes fire ægtemænd, hendes angstfyldte forhold til virkeligheden, hendes narkomani, pillemisbrug og alkoholisme. Den beretter om hendes gentagne selvmordsforsøg, men også om hvordan hendes skaberevne og ukuelige humoristiske sans overlevede til det sidste. »Styrke og skrøbelighed var Tove Ditlevsens vandmærke. Det findes altsammen i hendes bøger, og med sin dokumentation (der også spejler værket) gør Karen Syberg det hele levende for læseren. Næsten ikke til at bære, men medrivende til man lægger bogen fra sig og efterklangen bliver hængende.« - Klaus Rifbjerg i Samvirke

’"Jeg har aldrig hørt ham sige noget ondskabsfuldt om andre." Det er den replik der er gået hyppigst igen, når jeg har været ude og snakke med folk, der har kendt ham. Et smukt eftermæle, vil jeg mene.’ Gennem samtaler med folk, der har kendt Poul Reichhardt (1913-1985), og et grundigt kig på hans livsforløb, fortæller Carsten Borch historien om en af danmarkshistoriens mest folkekære skuespillere og instruktører. Bogen fortæller om hans ukuelige gåpåmod, der fik ham frem i teater- og filmbranchen, selvom han igen og igen fik at vide, at han på trods af sit kønne udseende ikke ejede skyggen af talent. Carsten Borch tegner et alsidigt og smukt portræt af en af sine egne store helte, som kom til at betyde så meget for så mange mennesker. Carsten Borch (f. 1970) er en dansk forfatter, foredragsholder og iværksætter. Han har udgivet flere bøger og arrangeret læseklubber rundt omkring på virksomheder. Carsten Borch står blandt andet bag en biografi om den danske skuespiller Poul Reichhardt.

Historier om hurtig berømmelse – og fald. Om pyromani, sladder, forræderi, selvmord, druk, bortførelser, narkomani, dødsulykker, knuste hjerter og bristede drømme. Pige træd varsomt er en fabelagtig og skæbnesvanger tidsrejse igennem vores danske underholdningsbranche. I 50 kapitler bevæger vi os ind i skyggerne, om på bagsiden af facaderne, og fortæller både rystende og bevægende skæbnefortællinger om kendte og ukendte navne. Nogle ryddede forsiderne som tidens store skandaler. Andre fik de færreste nogensinde at høre, fordi de blev dysset ned. Pige, træd varsomt, thi scenen er skrå hedder det i en folkekær og køn melodi, men hvordan er det lige, den krast slutter? Alle de sorger, i verden, du ved, dem skal du møde, før tæppet går ned. Jakob Steen Olsen er teaterredaktør og kulturjournalist på Berlingske samt fast paneldeltager i den populære podcast Det, vi taler om. Sammen med Rikke Rottensten er han desuden forfatter bl.a. til biografier om Stig Lommer, Preben Kaas og Lisbet Dahl.

Lene Bredsdorff levede en aktiv pensionisttilværelse med litteratur, musik og rejser, da hun i 2012 fik konstateret Alzheimers. Her fortæller hendes mand, Thomas Bredsdorff, om hendes sygdomsforløb, fra de første symptomer viser sig, til hun fire år senere kommer på plejehjem. Det er en fortælling om tab – af hukommelse, sprog, tids- og rumfornemmelse og ikke mindst samliv. Men det er også en fortælling om uventede lyspunkter, om det uundværlige aktivitetscenter Klarahus, om timerne med musikterapeuten Hugo og om pludselige glimt af klarhed og glæde. Tøsne og forsytia er et personligt vidnesbyrd om alderdom og Alzheimers, men det er også en litteraturkritikers undersøgelse af aldringens filosofi og Alzheimers’ idéhistorie – en bog, der nærmer sig det store og smertelige spørgsmål: Hvad er et menneske uden hukommelse?

Du får en morsom, varm og selvironisk fortælling om Judy Gringers liv og karriere. Den historie, du ikke­ ­vidste, du savnede om dansk revy, teater og film fra sidst i 1950’erne og nogle årtier frem. Historien om Babs og Nutte og film som Soldaterkammerater, Poeten og Lillemor, Majorens oppasser og Julefrokosten. Og beretningen om privatmennesket Judy og om de mange mænd, hun har mødt. Først og fremmest Dirch Passer – som hun var kæreste med i fem år – men også koryfæer som Kjeld Petersen, Osvald Helmuth, Ove Sprogøe, Stig Lommer, Preben Kaas, Jørgen Ryg, Otto Brandenburg og Morten Grunwald. Læg dertil fortællingen om den jødiske familie og det at være en smuk kvinde i ­underholdningsbranchen, dengang mændene regerede verden med høj cigarføring og løse bæltespænder. Jacob Wendt Jensen har interviewet Judy Gringer og formet hendes ord. Han siger: “Jeg måtte spørge om alt, men det var svært at få Judy Gringer til at rødme. Til gengæld havde hun ikke svært ved at få mig til det. Er du klar til en tur ned ad Mindernes Allé med en af dansk films ­morsomste komedienner?”.

Nyt biografisk værk om en unik dansk slægts-, erhvervs- og kulturhistorie. For første gang nogensinde udkommer en bog om LEGO Koncernens og slægten Kirk Kristiansens fascinerende historie gennem 100 år, som familien selv medvirker i. Et liv med LEGO er skrevet af Jens Andersen, kendt for sine biografier om bl.a. Kim Larsen, Kronprins Frederik og Astrid Lindgren, og er en eventyrlig fortælling om verdens største legetøjsproducent. Den begynder i 1916, da Ole Kirk Christiansen slår sig ned som snedker i Billund på den jyske hede, og følger slægten og virksomheden i et til tider dramatisk forløb frem til i dag, hvor LEGO brandet er et af de mest elskede på kloden. Jens Andersens bog er samtidig en kulturhistorie om skiftende generationers syn på børn og barndom og forskellige epokers opfattelse af legens betydning. Værket bygger på halvandet års studier i LEGO Koncernens historiske samling og arkiv i Billund. Som fortælling er den også blevet til på grundlag af månedlige møder og samtaler gennem halvandet år med Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, der gennem hele bogen uddyber og kommenterer sit eget og sin slægts liv med LEGO.

Hey, how you doing, casual browser? Adam Buxton here. Are you ready for some hot hyperbole about this book? Here we go … In I Love You, Byeee, the highly anticipated follow up to the bestselling Ramble Book, I reminisce with hilarious and heartwarming candour about the highs and lows of working with Joe Cornish and revolutionising the worlds of DIY TV and podcasting in the process. You’ll hear about my crazy times hanging out with notorious rock’ n’ roll hellraisers like Travis and Radiohead. I write with humour and heartbreaking poignancy about the challenges of parenting, losing my mother (to death, that is – we didn’t get separated in a shop) and the drug hell that led to me nearly dying in the arms of a comedy legend. There’s also a bit about arguing with my wife, getting instructions on edginess from Louis Theroux, going on Bake Off and much more that you didn’t ask for but definitely need. For all that, plus hours of bonus waffle and original music, why not download the audiobook, too? Phew! I think we both need a shower after that. Take care – I love you, byeee!

Was PG Wodehouse really a traitor, a naive simpleton dominated by his wife and out of touch with the world around him? This book challenges many of the accepted wisdoms about PG Wodehouse and his work and skilfully entwines details of Wodehouse's life with an analysis of his work to show that, contrary to popular belief, many of the scenarios, characters and issues he wrote about came from his own, sometimes bitter, personal experience. It shows, for instance, how Bertie Wooster is a much misunderstood figure in literature and shared many of the characteristics and life story of PG Wodehouse himself. Easdale also gives fresh insight into PG Wodehouse's alleged ‘treachery’ during World War II and his motives for making five radio broadcasts from Germany which were to cast a shadow over the rest of his life. ‘Easdale often finds an original angle with which to shatter stale, accepted perception... this book is compelling.’ (Country Life). ‘This fascinating examination offers a refreshing and accessible study of Wodehouse’s work.’ (Press Association).

In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words: 'Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.' The set instantly went viral, and was ultimately released as Tig's sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy. Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year - a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I'm Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.

My adventure started one day as I considered writing a fiction story using Heaven as the main stage. You know - bright lights, angels, and wonderful people living in pleasant villages. That was the beginning of an adventure that would be sixty pages of scribbled wonder. So I could write about Heaven, I decided to ask God to allow me to visit there. Oh how adventurous I felt. Me, one person out billions of other people, had the nerve to ask the Creator of the heavens to allow me to visit a place, another world, called Heaven! Putting it mildly, going to Heaven would steal away my breath. Since the visit in 1991 my thinking and outlook on life changed me. I was already a Christian - but this was different. By faith, I dared to pray. The angel said for me to follow him. I'll do the same for you.... follow me into Heaven and from my explicit descriptions see for yourself a most glorious and otherworldly place!

Få hele historien om Johnny Madsen, den lune vestjyske spillemand, der har fornøjet og forfærdet danskerne gennem 50 år. Som ung legede Johnny Madsen med tanken om at blive præst. Men han fandt sin prædikestol til halballerne og på dunkle spillesteder, og der har han lige siden begejstret sit trofaste publikum med poetisk nerve og genuin vestjysk rock’n’roll. Musikeren og sangskriveren fra Thyborøn er en stolt særling i dansk rock, der har slingret ad sine helt egne veje. I denne opdaterede lydbogs-version af Anders Houmøller Thomsens bestseller-biografi fortæller Johnny Madsen bramfrit om sin kringlede og lange vej til toppen af dansk rock, hvor triumfen i slutningen af 1980’erne udviklede sig til en regulær Madsen-mania. Samtidig træder den engagerede Madsen i karakter i et heftigt opgør med det danske ”eventyrsamfund” og velfærds-diktatur, mens han hylder den ægte folkelighed, kunsten og næstekærligheden.

Lise Nørgaard lever sin alderdom, som hun har levet sit liv: engageret, forlystelsessyg og skarptseende. Hendes liv været præget af stort mod og stærke meninger, og i ”Fruen kommer i dag” ser hun sammen med Cecilie Frøkjær tilbage på sit liv, både det, der var engang, og det, der er nu – de sejre, hun fik, de fejl, hun begik, og de mennesker og begivenheder, der har været med til at forme hende. Usentimentalt og med stor humor – med det vid og bid, der har gjort Lise Nørgaard til en af de stemmer, mange holder af at høre. ”Det vigtigste er vel at holde sig i cirkulation og ikke tro, at verden kommer til én, for det gør den ikke. ... Det kan altså ikke nytte noget, at man opgiver livet. Man bliver nødt til at hænge på.” Indlæst af Maria Stokholm i 2014.

I "Livsvidner" fortæller Lisbet Dahl og Ulf Pilgaard, dansk revys par nummer ét, for første gang sammen om deres makkerskab på og uden for scenen – et makkerskab, som de kalder "et ægteskab – bare uden sex". Her er minderne om deres første møde og historierne om Dirch og Preben Kaas, Helle Virkner og Claus Ryskjær. Fortalt med både grin og en tåre i øjet. At Lisbet og Ulf sammen har lavet en bog, ville ved deres første møde have været utænkeligt, men i takt med, at livet er gået sin gang, har humoren bundet dem sammen for evigt. De er blevet hinandens livsvidner. Lisbet Dahl (f. 1946) er prisvindende skuespillerinde. Fik sit gennembrud som instruktør i Cirkusrevyen. Ulf Pilgaard (f. 1940) er prisbelønnet skuespiller. Han var en fast del af Cirkusrevyen i 40 år. Har blandt andet medvirket i filmen "Nattevagten". Lukas Birch (f. 2000) er forfatter og kulturel iværksætter. "Livsvidner" er hans anden bog.

Livsvidner

Mor til fem mindre søskende som 11-årig pige. Slået af sin far og flere af sine mænd. Misbrugt seksuelt, ydmyget og bedraget. I fem år holdt fanget i Østberlin bag jerntæppet af en dansk kontraspion og frarøvet muligheden for at se sine to små børn. Og samtidig ombejlet af hundredetusinder af fans og tilbedt af kunstnere, prinser, milliardærer og luskede pladeselskabsfolk. I denne bog fortæller jazz- og gospelsangeren Etta Cameron for første gang hudløst ærligt sin fantastiske livshistorie, som begyndte på en lille, kroget ø på Bahamas, inden tilværelsens kastevinde sendte hende til Miami, London og Østberlin. En dag i begyndelsen af 1972 stod hun pludselig i Danmark som en fri kvinde efter at have været fanget bag Berlinmuren. Siden blev Etta Cameron hele Europas disco- og funkdronning, inden hun gav sit hjerte til jazz, gospel og spirituals. Dette er fortællingen om en kvinde, der med en ufattelig styrke har levet og overlevet ved musikkens, troens og tilgivelsens kraft. Det er historien om en mors fantastiske savn efter sine børn. En beretning om at miste sin barndom. Om smerte. Om et liv i strid modvind – med bedrag, løgne og dyb ensomhed. Hun gav smerten vinger er en barsk biografi, som fanger, fænger og overrasker - men som også rører læsernes hjerter med masser af smil, kærlighed og et ukueligt livsbegær. Denne bog samler puslespilsbrikkerne til portrættet af et usædvanligt og sammensat menneske. Etta Cameron. Naturstridig. På sin helt egen følsomme måde. Stærk som en okse. Og sårbar som en lille pige. Uovervindelig. Og til at vælte omkuld med et pust.

Etta Cameron

"Spørgsmålet om hvorfor jeg skriver forekommer simpelt, men simpelheden er et bedrag." Sådan indledes "Hvorfor skriver jeg?" I denne tekst beskriver Karl Ove Knausgård, hvordan og hvorfor han begyndte at skrive, hvordan det at skrive for ham handler om at stå åben for øjeblikket og stedet, om at se på verden med et uvidende og forsvarsløst blik. Det at vide noget om noget står ofte i vejen for at skrive om det: "Jeg er nødt til at komme uforvarende til det, eller det må komme uforvarende over mig", skriver han. "Hvorfor skriver jeg?" er et personligt essay om skrivning og den kreative proces af forfatteren til det autofiktive værk "Min kamp". Karl Ove Knausgård (f. 1968) debuterede som forfatter i 1998. Hans bøger er udgivet på 36 sprog, og han er blevet tildelt en række store litterære priser, blandt andet Kritikerprisen, Brage-prisen, Gyldendalprisen, Die Welts litteraturpris, Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Award for Literature, Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence, Austrian State Prize for European Literature og Svenska Akademiens nordiske pris samt H.C. Andersen-prisen.

The shocking, never-before-told story of the bizarre world inside the legendary Playboy Mansion—and, finally, the secret truth about the man who holds the key—from one of the few people who truly knows: Hef’s former #1 girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door A spontaneous decision at age twenty-one transformed small-town Oregon girl Holly Sue Cullen into Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend. But like Alice’s journey into Wonderland, after Holly plunged down the rabbit hole, what seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion—including A-list celebrity parties and her own #1-rated television show for four years—quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules, manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. Life inside the notorious Mansion wasn’t a dream at all—and quickly became her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub contemplating suicide. But instead of ending her life, Holly chose to take charge of it. In this shockingly candid and surprisingly moving memoir, this thoughtful and introspective woman opens up about life inside the Mansion, the drugs, the sex, the abuse, the infamous parties, and her real behind-the-scenes life with Bridget, Kendra, and, of course, Mr. Playboy himself. With great courage, Holly shares the details of her subsequent troubled relationship, landing her own successful television series, and the hard work of healing, including her turn on Dancing with the Stars. A cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, Down the Rabbit Hole reminds us of the importance of fighting for our dreams—and finding the life we deserve.

Johannes Ewald (1743-1781) var den første danske digter, der brød med den klassicistiske lyriske stil til fordel for en prosastil, der gav plads til en skildring af digterens eget nuancerede følelsesliv. Keld Zeruneiths biografi om Johannes Ewald drager paralleller mellem digterens liv og hans værker, da disse to for Johannes Ewalds vedkommende ikke lader sig forstå uafhængigt af hinanden. Keld Zeruneith (f. 1941) er en dansk litteraturforsker og digter, der har udgivet flere digtsamlinger og biografier om danske digtere som Johannes Ewald, Sophus Claussen og Emil Aarestrup. Han har blandt andet modtaget Georg Brandes-Prisen, Holberg-medaljen, Søren Gyldendal-prisen samt Statens Kunstfonds hædersydelse for sit store arbejde med dansk litteratur.

Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America! In The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America, former Fox News anchorman and commentator Bill O’Reilly reviews the stunning rise of Donald Trump from New York real estate developer and celebrity to his election as President of the United States. As the one-time anchor of the tabloid show Inside Edition, O’Reilly had interviewed Trump before his decision to run for President, and as a candidate Trump was a frequent guest on the author’s news show The O’Reilly Factor. O’Reilly uses his familiarity with Trump to paint a picture of the President that is largely positive but not sentimental. In O’Reilly’s telling, Trump is neither a monster nor an angel, neither fool nor genius. Instead, he portrays Trump as a well-intentioned but impulsive man with a relatively simple political outlook and a knack for self-promotion. The story O’Reilly tells will be familiar to anyone who follows politics, but he does provide some insights into how Trump became such a political force. This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis and removed any fluff to save you hours of your time. If you’ve read the original, then this audio summary will help you solidify the most important lessons.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BERGER PRIZE FOR BRITISH ART HISTORY 2017 SHORTLISTED FOR THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2017 A SUNDAY TIMES ART BOOK OF THE YEAR A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK TIMES ART BOOK OF THE YEAR From his time as Bernard Berenson’s protégé to being the Keeper of the Western Art at 27 and his appointment as the youngest-ever director of the National Gallery, Kenneth Clark displayed precocious genius. No voice has exercised so much power and influence over the arts in Britain as Clark’s. A formidable aesthete, his coterie included John Betjeman, Winston Churchill, Margot Fonteyn, E.M. Forster, Vivien Leigh, the Queen Mother and Henry Moore. Hidden from view, however, was his wife Jane’s alcoholism and his own philandering. In James Stourton’s dazzling biography, Clark is shown as a man who conveyed the profound beauty and importance of art, architecture and civilisation for generations to come.

A symbol of modernity, the Viennese Secession was defined by the rebellion of twenty artists who were against the conservative Vienna Künstlerhaus' oppressive influence over the city, the epoch, and the whole Austro-Hungarian Empire. Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a “total art”, without any political or commercial constraint, the Viennese Secession represented the ideological turmoil that affected craftsmen, architects, graphic artists, and designers from this period. Turning away from an established art and immersing themselves in organic, voluptuous, and decorative shapes, these artists opened themselves to an evocative, erotic aesthetic that blatantly offended the bourgeoisie of the time. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are addressed by the authors and highlight the diversity and richness of a movement whose motto proclaimed “for each time its art, for each art its liberty” – a declaration to the innovation and originality of this revolutionary art movement.

The Viennese Secession

Unique, transgressive and as funny as its subject, A Life Discarded has all the suspense of a murder mystery. Written with his characteristic warmth, respect and humour, Masters asks you to join him in celebrating an unknown and important life left on the scrap heap. A Life Discarded is a biographical detective story. In 2001, 148 tattered and mould-covered notebooks were discovered lying among broken bricks in a skip on a building site in Cambridge. Tens of thousands of pages were filled to the edges with urgent handwriting. They were a small part of an intimate, anonymous diary, starting in 1952 and ending half a century later, a few weeks before the books were thrown out. Over five years, the award-winning biographer Alexander Masters uncovers the identity and real history of their author, with an astounding final revelation. A Life Discarded is a true, shocking, poignant, often hilarious story of an ordinary life. The author of the diaries, known only as ‘I’, is the tragicomic patron saint of everyone who feels their life should have been more successful. Part thrilling detective story, part love story, part social history, A Life Discarded is also an account of two writers’ obsessions: of ‘I’s need to record every second of life and of Masters’ pursuit of this mysterious yet universal diarist.

A Life Discarded

Charles M. Schulz, the most widely syndicated and beloved cartoonist of all time, is also one of the least understood figures in American culture. Now acclaimed biographer David Michaelis gives us an in-depth biography of the brilliant, unseen man behind Peanuts. It is the most American of stories: How a barber's son grew up from modest beginnings to realize his dream of creating a newspaper comic strip. How he daringly chose themes never before attempted in mainstream cartoons—loneliness, isolation, melancholy, the unending search for love—always lightening the darker side with laughter and mingling the old-fashioned sweetness of childhood with a very adult and modern awareness of the bitterness of life. And how, using a lighthearted, loving touch, and a cast of memorable characters, he portrayed the struggles that come with being awkward, imperfect, human. Based on years of research, Schulz and Peanuts is the definitive epic biography of an American icon and the unforgettable characters he created.

Summary, Analysis, and Review of Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler's The Future Is Faster Than You Think

In 1905 Georgia travelled to Chicago to study painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1907 she enrolled at the Art Students’ League in New York City, where she studied with William Merritt Chase. During her time in New York she became familiar with the 291 Gallery owned by her future husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. In 1912, she and her sisters studied at university with Alon Bement, who employed a somewhat revolutionary method in art instruction originally conceived by Arthur Wesley Dow. In Bement’s class, the students did not mechanically copy nature, but instead were taught the principles of design using geometric shapes. They worked at exercises that included dividing a square, working within a circle and placing a rectangle around a drawing, then organising the composition by rearranging, adding or eliminating elements. It sounded dull and to most students it was. But Georgia found that these studies gave art its structure and helped her understand the basics of abstraction. During the 1920s O’Keeffe also produced a huge number of landscapes and botanical studies during annual trips to Lake George. With Stieglitz’s connections in the arts community of New York – from 1923 he organised an O’Keeffe exhibition annually – O’Keeffe’s work received a great deal of attention and commanded high prices. She, however, resented the sexual connotations people attached to her paintings, especially during the 1920s when Freudian theories became a form of what today might be termed “pop psychology”. The legacy she left behind is a unique vision that translates the complexity of nature into simple shapes for us to explore and make our own discoveries. She taught us there is poetry in nature and beauty in geometry. Georgia O’Keeffe’s long lifetime of work shows us new ways to see the world, from her eyes to ours.

O'Keeffe

Brostrøms vandring i de bøger, der har betydet utrolig meget for ham, tegner indirekte et selvportræt, for den litteratur, man finder genklang i, siger meget om én selv. I ca. 50 små kapitler, der kommer rundt om kanoniserede klassikere som fx Cervantes, dansk salmedigtning, modernisme og nordisk lyrik, præsenterer Brostrøm de læste bøger og fortæller samtidig, hvordan de har formet og ramt ham. Det er en bog, der vidner om et (89 år) langt liv med bøger, professionelt og privat. Brostrøm lever for og ånder gennem litteraturen, og hans formelle viden og følelsesmæssige engagement er uden sidestykke.
