Verden av i går er Stefan Zweigs erindringer fra hans oppvekst i Wien i et kulturelt og kosmopolitisk miljø. Dette er under den trygge, gylne tiden inntil den optimistiske troen på fornuften og fremtiden plutselig går i grus ved utbruddet av 1. verdenskrig. I mellomkrigstiden utvikler Zweigs forfatterskap seg og blir et av de mest leste. Han arbeider for et pasifistisk kosmopolitisk Europa og forteller om sine vennskap med store europeiske personligheter, som Freud, Rilke, Joyce, Wagner og mange andre. Etter Hitlers maktovertakelse går han i eksil og ender til slutt i Brasil. Her skriver han Verden av i går. Verket utkom posthumt i 1942, samme år som Zweig begikk selvmord samen med sin unge kone, grunnet fortvilelse over den politiske situasjonen i Europa. Det regnes i dag ikke bare som Zweigs hovedverk, men også som et hovedverk innenfor europeisk litteratur.

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.

Jeg Naken Drakk. Moren Tårene Kinnene. Moderne haiku – eller de tre mest brukte ordene i norske romaner av henholdsvis mannlige og kvinnelige forfattere? Gjett selv! Helene Uri har tatt på seg forsker-brillene og studert med lupe hvordan de norske forfatterne bruker språket. Og avsløringene står i kø - hvilken norsk forfatter har for eksempel rikelig med kvinnelår i sine romaner, men ikke ett eneste mannslår? Bruker kvinnelige forfattere flere adjektiv - og er de mer positivt ladet enn mennenes? Nøyaktig hvilke ord brukes i skjønnlitteraturen når seksuell handling skal beskrives? Og hvilken forfatter banner mest? Svarene får du i et fyrverkeri av en forskningsrapport, direkte inne fra norsk samtidslitteratur.

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.

Tales of a Tiller Girl

264 utsøkte små japanske figurer, skåret ut i tre eller elfenben, med detaljer av rav eller kostbare stener. Da den engelske keramikeren Edmund de Waal første gang så familiens samling av japanske netsuker i et glasskap i Tokyo, klarte han knapt å puste. Senere, da han selv fikk arve samlingen, oppdaget han at netsukene var nøkkelen til en historie langt større enn han kunne forestille seg. Edmund de Waals Haren med øyne av rav er en bok som knapt likner på noen andre: familiehistorie, memoar, biografi, essay, fortelling, kunsthistorie, detektivroman. I en prosa som er like presis og elegant som netsukene selv forteller Edmund de Waal historien om en mektig families langsomme vei mot tragedien - og om samlingen de klarte å holde fast på, et siste minne om hva de en gang hadde vært. Vinner av Ondaatje-prisen og Costa Biography Awards. "Denne boken er umulig å legge fra seg, akkurat som en netsuke: Du holder et mesterverk i dine hender."The Sunday Times Beskrivelse: Etter at han arver onkelens samling av antikke japanske netsuker, blir forfatteren nysgjerrig på disse elfenbensfigurenes historie. Jakten på figurenes historie fører han til den mektige jødiske familien Ephrussi, og boka følger dem fra Odessa til Paris, til Anschluss i Wien i 1938 og jødeforfølgelsene som følger etterpå, og til det ødelagte Tokyo etter andre verdenskrig.

I 1962 mønstrer den unge dekksgutten Jon Michelet på skipet M/S Tomar. Blant de røffe sjøfolkene møter han flere gamle krigsseilere og tanken om den store sjøromanen vokser fram. Men det skal gå mange år før han klarer å skrive sitt storverk. I En folkets helt følger vi Jon Michelet gjennom alle disse årene. Med innsikt og fortellerglede får vi historien om Michelets år som kontroversiell journalist og medlem av AKP (m-l). Han sto på barrikadene for revolusjon og kommunisme, og ble overvåka av de hemmelige tjenestene. Boka har et utall ramsalte historier om eventyr i ødemarken og livet som A-kjendis i Norge. Her er boksuksesser, familieidyll og berømmelse - men også samlivsbrudd, fylleslagsmål og skrivetørke. Jon Michelets liv faller sammen med overgangen fra syttitallsradikalisme til framveksten av en kommersiell kjendiskultur i Norge. Først 50 år etter tiden som dekksgutt kom Jon Michelet i havn. Med bøkene om En sjøens helt og skogsmatrosen Halvor Skramstad reiste Michelet et storslagent monument over norske krigsseilere. Samtidig ble han selv en folkets helt.

A brilliant, invigorating account of the great writers on both sides of the Iron Curtain who played the dangerous games of espionage, dissidence and subversion that changed the course of the Cold War. During the Cold War, literature was both sword and noose. Novels, essays and poems could win the hearts and minds of those caught between the competing creeds of capitalism and communism. They could also lead to exile, imprisonment or execution if they offended those in power. The clandestine intelligence services of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union had secret agents and vast propaganda networks devoted to literary warfare. But the battles were personal, too: friends turning on each other, lovers cleaved by political fissures, artists undermined by inadvertent complicities. In Cold Warriors, Harvard University’s Duncan White vividly chronicles how this ferocious intellectual struggle was waged on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The book has at its heart five major writers—George Orwell, Stephen Spender, Mary McCarthy, Graham Greene and Andrei Sinyavsky—but the full cast includes a dazzling array of giants, among them Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, John le Carré, Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Boris Pasternak, Gioconda Belli, Arthur Koestler, Vaclav Havel, Joan Didion, Isaac Babel, Howard Fast, Lillian Hellman, Mikhail Sholokhov —and scores more. Spanning decades and continents and spectacularly meshing gripping narrative with perceptive literary detective work, Cold Warriors is a welcome reminder that, at a moment when ignorance is celebrated and reading seen as increasingly irrelevant, writers and books can change the world.

These have been called the most famous and beloved letters of the past century. Rainer Maria Rilke himself said that much of his creative expression went into his correspondence, and here he touches upon a wide range of subjects that will interest writers, artists, and thinkers. This luminous translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's classic offers brilliant inspiration to all people who seek to know and express their inner truth. Letters to a Young Poet is a classic that should be required reading for anyone who dreams of expressing themselves creatively.

Letters to a Young Poet

Året er 1967. Verda står på kanten av ei ny tid. Eit tilfeldig møte i Brooklyn fører to unge menneske inn på ein livsveg med kunst og lidenskap. Patti Smith ville bli poet og kunstnar, og Robert Mapplethorpe ville utfordre fotokunsten. Bundne saman i uskuld og entusiasme reiste dei på kryss og tvers av byen, frå Coney Island til 42nd Street, og etter kvart til det berømte runde bordet på nattklubben Max's Kansas City, der Andy Warhol heldt hoff. I 1969 slo paret seg ned på Chelsea Hotel. Just Kids er ei varm og inderleg kjærleiksforteljing frå Smith til den elska vennen Mapplethorpe, men boka er også eit unikt tidsdokument. Smith gir ei levande skildring av New Yorks avantgardistiske og spennande kulturliv tidleg på 1970-talet. Her møter vi forfattarar, musikarar og kunstnarar som har påverka ein heil generasjon og sett avtrykk langt utanfor New Yorks grenser. I omgangskrinsen var Sam Shepard, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, William Burroughs og mange fleire. Til norsk ved Brit Bildøen.

One of the most accomplished and outspoken actors today chronicles the highs and lows of his life in this beautifully written, candid memoir. Over the past three decades, Alec Baldwin has established himself as one of Hollywood’s most gifted, hilarious, and controversial leading men. From his work in popular movies, including Beetlejuice, Working Girl, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Cooler, and Martin Scorsese’s The Departed to his role as Jack Donaghy on Tina Fey’s irreverent series 30 Rock—for which he won two Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards—and as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, he’s both a household name and a deeply respected actor. In Nevertheless, Baldwin transcends his public persona, making public facets of his life he has long kept private. In this honest, affecting memoir, he introduces us to the Long Island child who felt burdened by his family’s financial strains and his parents’ unhappy marriage; the Washington, DC, college student gearing up for a career in politics; the self-named ""Love Taxi"" who helped friends solve their romantic problems while neglecting his own; the young soap actor learning from giants of the theatre; the addict drawn to drugs and alcohol who struggles with sobriety; the husband and father who acknowledges his failings and battles to overcome them; and the consummate professional for whom the work is everything. Throughout Nevertheless, one constant emerges: the fearlessness that defines and drives Baldwin’s life. Told with his signature candor, astute observational savvy, and devastating wit, Nevertheless reveals an Alec Baldwin we have never fully seen before.

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.

""C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way."" — Anthony Burgess, New York Times Book Review Our moral consciousness and moral judgements are proof to the human race that a moral being exists—God. Mere Christianity explores the core beliefs of Christianity by providing an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. A brilliant collection, Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age. The book brings together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War II. Lewis discusses that everyone is curious about: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and kindness.

From one of the most important chroniclers of our time, come two extended excerpts from her never-before-seen notebooks–writings that offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary writer. Joan Didion has always kept notebooks: of overheard dialogue, observations, interviews, drafts of essays and articles Here is one such draft that traces a road trip she took with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, in June 1970, through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. She interviews prominent local figures, describes motels, diners, a deserted reptile farm, a visit with Walker Percy, a ladies' brunch at the Mississippi Broadcasters' Convention. She writes about the stifling heat, the almost viscous pace of life, the sulfurous light, and the preoccupation with race, class, and heritage she finds in the small towns they pass through. And from a different notebook: the "California Notes" that began as an assignment from Rolling Stone on the Patty Hearst trial of 1976. Though Didion never wrote the piece, watching the trial and being in San Francisco triggered thoughts about the city, its social hierarchy, the Hearsts, and her own upbringing in Sacramento. Here, too, is the beginning of her thinking about the West, its landscape, the western women who were heroic for her, and her own lineage.

“Mary Oliver would probably never admit to anything so grandiose as an effort to connect the conscious mind and the heart (that’s what she says poetry can do), but that is exactly what she accomplishes in this stunning little handbook.”—Los Angeles Times From the beloved, legendary poet, the ultimate guide to writing and understanding poetry. With passion and wit, Mary Oliver skillfully imparts expertise from her long, celebrated career as a disguised poet. She walks readers through exactly how a poem is built, from meter and rhyme, to form and diction, to sound and sense, drawing on poems by Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and others. This handbook is an invaluable glimpse into Oliver’s prolific mind—a must-have for all poetry-lovers.

“Roxane Gay is so great at weaving the intimate and personal with what is most bewildering and upsetting at this moment in culture. She is always looking, always thinking, always passionate, always careful, always right there.” — Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be? A New York Times Bestseller Best Book of the Year: NPR • Boston Globe • Newsweek • Time Out New York • Oprah.com • Miami Herald • Book Riot • Buzz Feed • Globe and Mail (Toronto) • The Root • Shelf Awareness A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched cultural observers of her generation In these funny and insightful essays, Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture. Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, coming from one of our most interesting and important cultural critics.

Edvard Munch (1863--1944) er den eneste norske maler med ubestridt verdensberømmelse. Dette er fortellingen om mannen bak kunsten. Historien om Edvard Munch er en skjønnlitterær biografi der Ketil Bjørnstad bygger på Munchs egne nedtegnelser. Det er en beretning om kampen mot en uforstående samtid, om styrke og sårbarhet og om et heftig bohemliv og kvinnene i hans liv. Boken baserer seg utelukkende på førstehånds kilder, brev eller skrifter og kaster et nytt lys over Munchs liv.Historien om Edvard Munch utkom første gang i 1993 og regnes som en klassiker i sin genre. "... en praktfull bok, en bragd, et storverk" Yngvar Ustvedt, VG "Ketil Bjørnstad har skrevet en bok som rusker opp og forandrer litt i livet til enhver som leser den. En bok som gjør oss litt mer fortrolig med et stort, gripende paradoks av et menneske." Eilif Straume, Aftenposten "Bjørnstad har verbalisert Munchs malerier, ikke ved å skrive OM dem, men ved å skrive SOM dem. Nervøst, glidende, repetetivt, og ved å bruke mange av Munchs egne tekster forsterker Bjørnstad vår opplevelse av å være tilstede i maleprosessen." Per Bang, Dagens Næringsliv

«Det året jeg fylte førtien kjøpte jeg et hus i landsbyen Roquebrun sørvest i Frankrike. Huset var bare mitt. Jeg kjøpte det til meg selv, for lånte penger.» Slik starter Kristin Vallas fortelling Egne steder. Inspirert av Virginia Woolfs klassiske essay Et eget rom legger Kristin Valla ut på en reise til Frankrike for å skaffe seg et sted å skrive. Med lånte penger og en uforløst roman kjøper hun et gammelt hus i en liten sørfransk landsby. Drømmen om et eget rom er beskrevet av en rekke betydningsfulle forfattere gjennom historien. For mange ble rommene og husene livsprosjekter som gikk hånd i hånd med forfatterskapet. I Egne steder møter vi forfattere som Amalie Skram, Agatha Christie, Suzanne Brøgger og Halldis Moren Vesaas, idet de renoverer, innreder og dikter. Under hvilke forutsetninger blir litteratur til? Hvor langt går forpliktelsene som mor og ektefelle, og hva slags forpliktelser har man ovenfor seg selv som individ og menneske? Egne steder er en fortelling om å skape rom for seg selv, om kreativitet, frihet, kjærlighet og estetikk.

What is more common than a pair of shoes? In a world where shoes have become an object of mass consumption, these accessories are now rid of any significance. The industry has accomplished its duty: producing a large quantity at a low price. But there was a time when the shoe symbolised the strength of the Roman legion, the power of the Medieval lords or the oppression of the Chinese woman. Its history is both vast and enthralling, as revealed by the author Marie-Josèphe Bossan. Supporting her analysis with an outstanding iconography, the author gives these commonplace objects a universal quality that sheds light on the whole of civilisation and elevates them to the rank of a work of art.

The Art of the Shoe

On a summer's day in 1858, in a garden behind Christ Church College in Oxford, Charles Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics, photographed six-year-old Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college dean, with a Thomas Ottewill Registered Double Folding camera, recently purchased in London. Simon Winchester deftly uses the resulting image--as unsettling as it is famous, and the subject of bottomless speculation--as the vehicle for a brief excursion behind the lens, a focal point on the origins of a classic work of English literature. Dodgson's love of photography framed his view of the world and was partly responsible for transforming a shy and half-deaf mathematician into one of the world's best-loved observers of childhood. Little wonder that there is more to ""Alice Liddell as the Beggar Maid"" than meets the eye. Using Dodgson's published writings, private diaries, and of course his photographic portraits, Winchester gently exposes the development of Lewis Carroll and the making of his Alice.

The Alice Behind Wonderland

Award-winning travel writer Nicholas Jubber journeys across Europe exploring Europe's epic poems, from the Odyssey to Beowulf, the Song of Roland to the Nibelungenlied, and their impact on European identity in these turbulent times. These are the stories that made Europe. Journeying from Turkey to Iceland, award-winning travel writer Nicholas Jubber takes us on a fascinating adventure through our continent's most enduring epic poems to learn how they were shaped by their times, and how they have since shaped us. The great European epics were all inspired by moments of seismic change: The Odyssey tells of the aftermath of the Trojan War, the primal conflict from which much of European civilisation was spawned. The Song of the Nibelungen tracks the collapse of a Germanic kingdom on the edge of the Roman Empire. Both the French Song of Roland and the Serbian Kosovo Cycle emerged from devastating conflicts between Christian and Muslim powers. Beowulf, the only surviving Old English epic, and the great Icelandic Saga of Burnt Njal, respond to times of great religious struggle - the shift from paganism to Christianity. These stories have stirred passions ever since they were composed, motivating armies and revolutionaries, and they continue to do so today. Reaching back into the ancient and medieval eras in which these defining works were produced, and investigating their continuing influence today, Epic Continent explores how matters of honour, fundamentalism, fate, nationhood, sex, class and politics have preoccupied the people of Europe across the millennia. In these tales soaked in blood and fire, Nicholas Jubber discovers how the world of gods and emperors, dragons and water-maidens, knights and princesses made our own: their deep impact on European identity, and their resonance in our turbulent times.

Epic Continent

This book consists of two titles: Mughal Empire - The Mughal Empire, also referred to as the Mogul or Moghul Empire, was one of the most powerful and influential early modern Islamic empires in South Asia. Established in the 16th century, it controlled vast regions for over two centuries, encompassing territories from the peripheries of the Indus basin in the west, extending to northern Afghanistan, Kashmir in the north, present-day Bangladesh in the east, and stretching as far south as the Deccan Plateau's uplands. Taj Mahal - The Taj Mahal stands as a breathtaking testament to Indo-Islamic architecture, celebrated as one of the most exquisite examples of this style in the world. Its origins are steeped in the emotional backdrop of its commission, reflecting the rich culture and history of the Mughal Empire, which wielded power over vast regions of India during the 16th and 17th centuries. The monument was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631. Her passing left an indelible mark on the emperor, inspiring him to create a monument that would embody his love and devotion.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2015 SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE A magisterial life of Ted Hughes – identified recently as the only English poet since the First World War with a claim to true greatness and one of Britain’s most important writers – to be published on National Poetry Day by prize-winning biographer Jonathan Bate. Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate, was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. He is one of Britain’s most important poets, a poet of claws and cages: Jaguar, Hawk and Crow. Event and animal are turned to myth in his work. Yet he is also a poet of deep tenderness, of restorative memory steeped in the English literary tradition. A poet of motion and force, of rivers, light and redemption, of beasts in brooding landscapes. With an equal gift for poetry and prose, and with a soul as capacious as any poet who has lived, he was also a prolific children’s writer and has been hailed as the greatest English letter-writer since John Keats. With his magnetic personality and an insatiable appetite for friendship, for love and for life, he also attracted more scandal than any poet since Lord Byron. At the centre of the book is Hughes’s lifelong quest to come to terms with the suicide of his first wife, Sylvia Plath, the saddest and most infamous moment in the public history of modern poetry. Ted Hughes left behind him a more complete archive of notes and journals than any other major poet, including thousands of pages of drafts, unpublished poems and memorandum books that make up an almost complete record of Hughes’s inner life, preserved by him for posterity. Renowned scholar Sir Jonathan Bate has spent five years in his archives, unearthing a wealth of new material. His book offers for the first time the full story of Ted Hughes's life as it was lived, remembered and reshaped in his art. It is a book that honours, though not uncritically, Ted Hughes’s poetry and the art of life-writing, approached by his biographer with an honesty answerable to Hughes’s own.

“Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to, and how they sometimes made idiots of . . . but read on!”—Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships returns with a fascinating, eye-opening take on the remarkable women at the heart of classical stories Greek mythology from Helen of Troy to Pandora and the Amazons to Medea. The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over. In Pandora’s Jar, the broadcaster, writer, stand-up comedian, and passionate classicist turns the tables, putting the women of the Greek myths on an equal footing with the men. With wit, humor, and savvy, Haynes revolutionizes our understanding of epic poems, stories, and plays, resurrecting them from a woman’s perspective and tracing the origins of their mythic female characters. She looks at women such as Jocasta, Oedipus’ mother-turned-lover-and-wife (turned Freudian sticking point), at once the cleverest person in the story and yet often unnoticed. She considers Helen of Troy, whose marriage to Paris “caused” the Trojan war—a somewhat uneven response to her decision to leave her husband for another man. She demonstrates how the vilified Medea was like an ancient Beyonce—getting her revenge on the man who hurt and betrayed her, if by extreme measures. And she turns her eye to Medusa, the original monstered woman, whose stare turned men to stone, but who wasn’t always a monster, and had her hair turned to snakes as punishment for being raped. Pandora’s Jar brings nuance and care to the millennia-old myths and legends and asks the question: Why are we so quick to villainize these women in the first place—and so eager to accept the stories we’ve been told? Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Pandora's Jar

"Fra det moderne Amerikas Aandsliv" er basert blant annet på de foredrag Knut Hamsun hadde holdt i USA i årene 1882-84 og 1886-88. Boken er et angrep på det amerikanske levesett, den amerikanske politikk og den amerikanske kunst – «Aandslivet».

Fra det moderne Amerikas åndsliv

Jane Austen levde fra 1775 til 1817. Lydboken er basert på hennes mangfoldige brevskriving, som gir et godt bilde av hennes liv og tette familiebånd. Hun skrev kun 6 romaner i løpet av sitt korte liv, men de har alle blitt populære symbol på livet i England på denne tiden. Flere av bøkene hennes er filmatisert, bl.a. Fornuft og følelser, Stolthet og fordom og Emma. Damms biografiserie forteller om livet og idéene til personer med en fremtredende rolle i verdenshistorien. Lydbøkene gir en kort og konsis innføring til personene og tidsepoken de levde i.

Ved siden av å være lyriker, kriminalforfatter, gjendikter og vitenskapsteoretiker, var André Bjerke en skarp polemiker som bidro i etterkrigstidens store kulturdebatter. I 2018 er det hundre år siden han ble født. Peter Normann Waages biografi tar for seg alle sider ved Bjerkes virksomhet. Fordi Bjerke var så tett på sin samtid, en samtid han ofte sto i opposisjon til, er boken også en kulturhistorie. André Bjerke var en stilsikker språkkunstner fra han var helt ung, og et talentfullt, humørfylt og lekende menneske som har satt sitt preg på norsk litteratur. Poesien er blitt folkelesning, kriminalromanene tilhører det ypperste innen sjangeren i Norge, og han har gledet flere generasjoner av barn med sin ABC og sine morovers. Denne første, omfattende biografien gir et levende bilde av både André Bjerke og den tiden han levde og virket i.

De magiske tankers år

Krigen er over, og livet skal tilbake til det normale. Men for noen er det normale noe annet enn det heteroseksuelle. Også i 1940- og 1950-årene lever folk skeive liv – i Oslo, Helsingfors, New York og Paris. På spøkelsessiden følger i fotsporene til et knippe kunstnere som alle bryter med datidens normer for kjønn og seksualitet. Tove Jansson forelsker seg i Vivica Bandler. Moune de Rivel synger på Le Club de Sauna. Inez Cavanaugh starter en av Paris’ heteste nattklubber. Gidske Anderson blir født på ny, mens James Baldwin strever med å skrive sin første roman. Og når våren kommer, svermer Gunvor Hofmo og Astrid Tollefsen på la rive gauche, Seinens venstre bredd, tilholdsstedet for spøkelser, kunstnere og bohemer. På spøkelsessiden er historier om utferdstrang og fellesskap, om venner, sex og kjærester, om jazzmusikk og sapfisk lengsel, og om friheten man kan oppleve i verdensbyen Paris. Siri Lindstad er skribent, litteraturkritiker og forfatter. Hun ga i 2010 ut boken Å fylle L-ordet med mening, om lesbiske miljøer og møteplasser i Norge 1970-2010.

Edvard Munch

Knut Hamsun var småkårsgutten som skrev seg frem til verdensberømmelse. Han påvirket flere generasjoner europeiske og amerikanske forfattere. Han var dikteren som skapte den nye, moderne romanen - og føreren som villedet sitt folk. Hamsuns liv rommer alt en romanforfatter kan drømme om: Et intenst familiedrama som aldri er blitt fortalt før, et politisk drama med mye ukjent stoff - og et drama om det kunstneriske geniets skjebne i Norge.

Hamsun

KNUT HAMSUN (1859-1952), norsk forfatter. Utga han en lang rekke romaner, noveller, essays og artikler. Blant hans mest kjente verker er Sult, Victoria og Markens grøde. Hamsuns politiske synspunkter var svært omstridt, men han fikk Nobelprisen i litteratur i 1920.

Hvem var Jens Bjørneboe? Hva var det ved denne skikkelsen som gjorde ham så myteomspunnet? Og hvordan endte skipsredersønnen fra Kristiansand til slutt opp som anarkist på øya Veierland – og med å ta sitt eget liv? Med annet bind av Tore Rems store biografi avsluttes fremstillingen av et helt usedvanlig mangfoldig og motsetningsfylt menneskeliv. I Født til frihet kommer fortellingen om den Jens Bjørneboe svært mange vil ha et sterkt forhold til. Det er i disse årene – fra han kaster seg inn i fengselsdebatten romjulen 1959 og til han dør i 1976 – at han blir ”Jens Bjørneboe”, slik han har levd videre. Som fortelling, som myte, som eksempel. Rem skildrer Bjørneboes utallige engasjementer, fra kriminalomsorg til ytringsfrihet, fra teaterarbeid til motstand mot Vietnam-krigen. Her er fortellingen om forfatteren som skrev Bestialitetens historie. Her er mannen som ble venstreradikaler, dømt som pornograf for Uten en tråd og som alltid støttet ungdommen i deres opprørstrang. Her er livsstilsrebellen og han som sist i livet skrev bestselgeren Haiene. Denne biografien rommer også de nære ting, portretter av ektemannen, elskeren, familiefaren og vennen. Av et varmt, nærværende, men ytterst rastløst menneske. Født til frihet er historien om det som etter hvert blir en rystende, personlig tragedie.

Facing Fear

Waylon Jennings. Willie Nelson. Kris Kristofferson. Three renegade musicians. Three unexpected stars. Three men who changed Nashville and country music forever. By the late 1960s, Nashville, Tennessee, was firmly established as the center of the booming country music industry and home to what was known as the Nashville Sound, characterized by slick production and adherence to an increasingly overused formula. But the city was changing. Young people from all over the country were streaming into the bohemian West End and colliding with three trailblazing artists who would soon rock the foundations of Nashville's music business. Surrounded by the street vibes of the West End's burgeoning underground scene and the outlaw protest tradition of Nashville's unlikely civil rights leaders and antiwar protestors, Waylon, Willie, and Kris began resisting the unspoken rules of Nashville's music-making machine and instead forged their own creative paths. Their music, personal and not easily categorized, was more in the vein of rock acts like the Allman Brothers and Bob Dylan, and it communi-cated a stark rawness and honesty that would influence artists of all genres for decades to come. Studded with a diverse secondary cast including Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Kinky Friedman, Billy Joe Shaver, and others, Streissguth's new book brings to life an incredible chapter in musical history and reveals for the first time a surprising outlaw zeitgeist in Nashville. Based on extensive research and probing interviews with key players, what emerges is a fascinating glimpse into three of the most legendary artists of our times and the definitive story of how they changed music in Nashville and everywhere.

Outlaw

Holbein has drawn the character and written the history of Henry on the canvas of his great picture. Masterful, cruel, crafty, merciless, courageous, sensual, through-seeing, humorous, mean, matter of fact, worldly-wise, and of indomitable will, Henry the Eighth is perhaps the most outstanding figure in English history. The reason is not far to seek. The genial adventurer with sporting tendencies and large-hearted proclivities is always popular with the mob, and "Bluff King Hal," as he was called, was of the eternal type adored by the people. He had a certain outward and inward affinity with Nero.

Henry the Eighth and His Court

Isaac Levitan was one of the greatest landscape painters of the nineteenth century not only in Russian, but in European art as well. He created works of undying artistic merit. His art is for all time and for all people because it absorbed into itself the woes, the joys and the social realities of its age, because it converted that which men lived by into sublime works of art and translated the author’s emotions into lyrical images of his native land. At the end of the nineteenth century the landscape was one of the foremost genres in Russian painting. It was this influence that shaped Levitan’s art, an art fully and by right symbolic of the finest achievements of Russian landscape painting.

The art of Siberia is a fascinating subject, and the artifacts discovered in the hidden archives of the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg are nothing less than extraordinary. Artwork, day-to-day subjects and photos dating from the turn  of the century all represent the testimonies of the Siberian people who refused to yield to the hegemony of a modern world.

New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman delivers the definitive story of the life and artistic legacy of David Letterman, the greatest television talk show host of all time and the signature comedic voice of a generation. In a career spanning more than thirty years, David Letterman redefined the modern talk show with an ironic comic style that transcended traditional television. While he remains one of the most famous stars in America, he is a remote, even reclusive, figure whose career is widely misunderstood. In Letterman, Jason Zinoman, the first comedy critic in the history of the New York Times, mixes groundbreaking reporting with unprecedented access and probing critical analysis to explain the unique entertainer’s titanic legacy. Moving from his early days in Indiana to his retirement, Zinoman goes behind the scenes of Letterman’s television career to illuminate the origins of his revolutionary comedy, its overlooked influences, and how his work intersects with and reveals his famously eccentric personality. Zinoman argues that Letterman had three great artistic periods, each distinct and part of his evolution. As he examines key broadcasting moments—""Stupid Pet Tricks"" and other captivating segments that defined Late Night with David Letterman—he illuminates Letterman’s relationship to his writers, and in particular, the show’s co-creator, Merrill Markoe, with whom Letterman shared a long professional and personal connection. To understand popular culture today, it’s necessary to understand David Letterman. With this revealing biography, Zinoman offers a perceptive analysis of the man and the artist whose ironic voice and caustic meta-humor was critical to an entire generation of comedians and viewers—and whose singular style ushered in new tropes that have become clichés in comedy today.

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.
