Hur blir livet för en man när hans pappa dör? Malin Tyberg har samlat ett tjugotal berättelser skrivna av män i åldrarna sexton till sjuttio år. Boken beskriver upplevelser, tankar och känslor om att leva kvar när en pappa har dött. Den tar upp allt från komplicerade relationer, sådant som aldrig blev sagt och hur snårigt det kan vara att ta sig vidare från en förlust. Några av männen förlorade sina pappor redan som barn, andra när de var äldre. För vissa kom döden oväntat, genom olyckor eller suicid, för andra efter längre tids sjukdom eller av ålderdom. Socionom Johan Andersson skriver i efterordet om upplevelsen av att som man mista sin far och hur sorg bearbetas på olika sätt av olika män. Malin Tyberg var en av medförfattarna till boken När mammor dör (Ordberoende Förlag, 2020). Då skrev hon och 31 andra kvinnor om att mista en mor. Hon förlorade även sin far då hon var åtta år. Recensioner:"I bokens första del berättar söner som förlorat sina fäder redan som barn, i andra delen återfinns berättelser om attförlora sin far innan man själv fyllt fyrtio. Den avslutande delen handlar om att mista sin far som vuxen ochefter fyrtio. Författarna är personer med skiftade yrken och livsberättelser. Några av författarna hade starkaband till sina fäder, andra inte. Dödsorsaker och sorgeprocesser i berättelserna skiftar. Gemensamt för allabokens berättelser är att författarna generöst delar med sig av tankar och känslor både personligt och gripande.Berättelserna är sorgtyngda, men förmedlar också hopp om att livet går vidare. Att förlora en far lyfter ettviktigt ämne, är välskriven och mycket bra. Boken bör läsas av många, men i första hand av män som förloratsin far.Helhetsbetyg: 4 Mycket bra." BTJ - Bibliotekstjänst

NEW ISLAND BOOKS

St Patrick is one of the most famous saints of all time. Thousands of people with no direct Irish connection celebrate St Patrick’s Day, parading along the streets of New York, Boston, Chicago, San Antonio, Texas and Sydney, where St Patrick’s Day is a national holiday. These celebrations are the latest version of the cult of St Patrick, which has persisted in different forms since his death on 17 March, 462AD. But who was St Patrick, and how much of what we know about him is fact, how much legend? This book looks at the historical man and the evidence of his writings, the myths and the apocryphal stories, and describes the social changes that led in the 18th century to his emergence as a symbol of Irish nationalism. Patrick: From Patron Saint to Modern Influencer is a fascinating and lively portrait of the man who converted pagan Ireland to Christianity – a fresh, sometimes startling examination of the folklore and traditions that have developed around the saint through the ages. First published in 1989 in the UK and USA, this fully updated edition features new photographs and illustrations and will be an indispensable companion for anyone seeking to understand the role of St Patrick in forging modern Irish identity.

Patrick O’Brian

Nikolai Tolstoy

William Collins
2020

An intimate portrait of Patrick O’Brian, written by his stepson Nikolai Tolstoy. Patrick O’Brian was one of the greatest British novelists of the twentieth century, securing his place in literary history with the bestselling Aubrey–Maturin series, books that have sold millions of copies worldwide and been hailed as the best historical fiction of all time. An exquisite novelist, translator and biographer, O’Brian moved in 1949 to Collioure in the south of France, where he led a secluded life with his wife Mary and wrote all his major works. The twenty books that make up the beloved Aubrey–Maturin series earned O’Brian the epithet ‘Jane Austen at sea’ for their authentic depiction of Nelson’s navy, and the relationship between Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend and ship’s surgeon Stephen Maturin. Outside his triumphant popularity in fiction, O’Brian also wrote erudite biographies of both Pablo Picasso and Joseph Banks, as well as publishing translations of Simone de Beauvoir and Henri Charrière. In A Very Private Life, Nikolai Tolstoy draws upon his close relationship with his stepfather, as well as his notebooks, letters and photographs, to capture a highly researched but intimate account of those fifty years in Collioure that were the richest of O’Brian’s writing life. With warm and honest reflection, this biography gives insight into the genius of the little-known man behind the much-loved writing. Tolstoy also tells how, through a sad irony, unjust attacks on O’Brian’s private life destroyed much of the happiness he had gained from his achievement just as his literary career attained greater acclaim.
