1000 tulosta hakusanalla Jonathan Eig
Martin Luther King jr. er et av det 20. århundres største ikoner. Men hvem var han egentlig, pastoren, borgerrettsaktivisten og ikkevoldsforkjemperen som bare 35 år gammel mottok Nobels fredspris, for så fire år senere å bli skutt og drept? I King: Et liv kaster den prisvinnende biografen Jonathan Eig nytt lys over Kings bemerkelsesverdige liv og karriere. Nylig nedgradert FBI-dokumenter viser hvordan sterkt rasistiske holdninger preget den amerikanske regjeringens forsøk på å bringe King til taushet. Boken er basert på hundrevis av intervjuer og hittil utilgjengelige kilder. Den går bak fasaden og viser oss King som et feilbarlig menneske, men også en skarp tenker og briljant strateg – en mann som ledet en av historiens største frihetsbevegelser, og som for alltid vil bli husket for ordene: «Jeg har en drøm!» VINNER AV PULITZERPRISEN 2024 NOMINERT TIL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2023 NOMINERT TIL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD 2023 EN AV BARACK OBAMAS FAVORITTBØKER I 2023 EN AV ÅRETS BESTE BØKER I THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, CHICAGO TRIBUNE OG TIME «Like spennende som en thriller … Den mest fengslende fortellingen om Kings liv på veldig lenge.» – The Washington Post
Martin Luther King Jr. var den modige leder af den amerikanske borgerrettighedsbevægelse, men i dag er det kun de færreste, der kender mere til ham end hans fire simple ord: “I have a dream”. Som det så ofte sker, når vi kommer til at gøre virkelighedens helte til superhelte og forenkler betydningsfulde mænd og kvinders liv i et forsøg på at sammenfatte den lektie, de forsøgte at lære os, så mister vi deres storhed af syne. Så formår vi ikke at ære dem som virkelige mennesker, der opnåede virkelige resultater. Denne fejl er vi så småt ved at begå med Martin Luther King. Tiden er derfor helt rigtig til at kaste et friskt blik på hans liv, og behovet for det er presserende: Tusinder af tidligere ukendte dokumenter har set dagens lys, og mange af Kings venner, følgere og fortrolige har været ivrige efter at fortælle. Og dem, som stadig kan give førstehåndsberetninger, nærmer sig det punkt i deres liv, hvor de skal høres nu, hvis ikke deres historier skal være tabt for altid.Bogen om King er et omfattende portræt af den ikoniske figur, der dykker ned i og yder retfærdighed til nogle af hans radikale visioner og den betydning han har haft. Bogen kaster ikke blot nyt lys over Kings bemærkelsesværdige karriere, men humaniserer ham på en måde, der gør ham til mere end blot et symbol på håb og trods, men også til en fejlbarlig mand, en humoristisk mand, en familiefar og en ægtemand.
PulitzerprisvinnareI den här storslagna biografin skildrar Jonathan Eig medborgarrättsikonen Martin Luther King Jr. som en stor tänkare, en skicklig strateg och aktivist som ledde en av historiens största rörelser, och vars krav på etnisk och social rättvisa är lika aktuella idag som under hans livstid.Författaren ger oss en inblick i en modig och ofta känslomässigt plågad persons liv. En pastor som brottades med egna svagheter och mörka tankar, en medborgare som jagades av sin regering och en man som var beredd att kämpa för rättvisan även om det visade sig bli en kamp på liv och död.Med gedigen research har Jonathan Eig på ett lättillgängligt och levande sätt skrivit den första stora biografin på flera årtionden om Martin Luther King Jr., och den första med nyligen offentliggjorda FBI-handlingar. År 2024 tilldelades Eig Pulitzerpriset för King: Ett liv.
An incredible memoir about one man's journey to heal from trauma through chosen family, friendship, and nature. AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER Banning Lyon was an average 15-year-old, living in Dallas, TX. He enjoyed skateboarding, listening to punk rock, and even had a part-time job. But in January 1987 his life quickly changed after a school guidance counselor falsely believed he was suicidal after giving away his skateboard. Days later he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and what he was told would be a two-week stay turned into 353 days that would change his life forever. Banning takes readers through his fraught relationship with his family, the mistreatment he suffered at the hospital, the lawsuit against the owners of the facility, and his desire to make sense of what happened to him. We witness Banning navigate the difficult landscape of trauma and his daily battle to live a normal life. After years of highs and lows that include being adopted by his attorney and mentor, falling in love and grieving the death of his fianc e, and being sued by the same doctors who mistreated him, Banning decides to take control of his life and finds hope in the backcountry of Yosemite National Park, where he discovers new purpose in being a backpacking guide. Through friendship, nature, and eventually giving therapy another chance, Banning summons the courage to keep moving forward. The Chair and The Valley is a raw, gut-wrenching, and amazing story about healing from trauma and starting over. It is a testament to the importance of chosen family, the restorative power of nature, and the strength it takes to build a new life in the face of fear and doubt.
A little over a year ago, Darcy Wakefield was a single, 33-year-old, athletic, workaholic English professor, a vegetarian who had never had a serious health problem or injury. Then she was diagnosed with ALS, and her world turned upside down. I Remember Running is Darcy's story of change and loss and challenges during her first year with ALS, as she struggles to make sense of her diagnosis and redefine herself in the face of this terminal illness. With unflagging courage, wit, and eloquence, Darcy shares what she calls her "fast-forward" life, a life in which she applies for disability, leaves her job, and plans her own funeral as well as meets and moves in with her true love, buys a house, and gives birth to her first child in less time than it takes most of us to accomplish even one of these things. Beautifully written and wholly inspiring, I Remember Running proves that it is possible to live a rich, meaningful life after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. This book will move readers to see the world in a different light.

Jonathan Swift lived through a period of turbulence and innovation in the evolution of the book. His publications, perhaps more than those of any other single author, illustrate the range of developments that transformed print culture during the early Enlightenment. Swift was a prolific author and a frequent visitor at the printing house, and he wrote as critic and satirist about the nature of text. The shifting moods of irony, complicity and indignation that characterise his dealings with the book trade add a layer of complexity to the bibliographic record of his published works. The essays collected here offer the first comprehensive, integrated survey of that record. They shed new light on the politics of the eighteenth-century book trade, on Swift's innovations as a maker of books, on the habits and opinions revealed by his commentary on printed texts and on the re-shaping of the Swiftian book after his death.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
