    114,95 - 222,95 kr.

    Martha Hall Kelly har skrevet endnu en medrivende historisk roman inspireret af virkelige levede liv, denne gang under den amerikanske borgerkrig. Georgeanna ”Georgey” Woolsey er ikke skabt til en verden af overdådige fester, hvor det forventes, at en kvinde i hendes position er duknakket og ærbødig. Så da den amerikanske borgerkrig bryder ud og antænder hele nationen, ser Georgey sit snit og vælger at forfølge sin lidenskab for sygepleje - i en tid, hvor kvinder er uønskede ved fronten. Men Georgey og hendes søster Eliza vil modbevise de onde tunger, og de vover sig ud på en rejse fra New York til Washington D.C. og Gettysburg, hvor de bliver førstehåndsvidner til slaveriets og krigens rædsler.I sydstaterne møder vi Jemma, som er slavegjort på Peeler-plantagen i Maryland, hvor hun bor med sin mor og far. Hendes søster, Patience, lider samme skæbne på naboplantagen, og begge lever de i frygt for plantagelederen, LeBaron. Da Jemma sælges til den grusomme mrs. Anne-May, mens unionshæren marcherer igennem landet, øjner Jemma chancen for at flygte, selvom hun må sige farvel til sin elskede familie.Georgeys kald som unionssygeplejerske medvirker til, at hun krydser veje med Jemma, og herfra fremskrives et levende og detaljerigt portræt af borgerkrigsoplevelsen; fra de barbariske og umenneskelige plantager, til et krigshærget New York og slagmarkens rædsler.Georgey er en fjern forfader til Caroline Ferriday, som Kelly introducerede i sin bestseller Blomstrende syrener, og Solsikkesøstrene er inspireret af virkelige begivenheder.

    Die letzte Generation eines amerikanischen Clans mit indigenen, afrikanischen und europäischen WurzelnSeit 1997 arbeiten die Journalistin Leslie Tucker und der Fotograf Henry Horenstein an ihrem gemeinsamen Projekt über die Wesorts in Maryland, USA, ein geheimnisvoller Clan mit indigenen, afrikanischen und europäischen Wurzeln: »We sorts are different from you sorts.« Das Projekt began als genealogische Untersuchung einer Famile, die auf die erste katholische Kolonie zurückgeht und entwickelte sich zu einer detektivischen Arbeit über die Ursprünge unterschiedlicher ethnischer Gruppen in Amerika. Schließlich wurde es zu einem Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, da die Wesorts allmählich aussterben. Während Horenstein die letzte Generation der Familie Proctor und ihre verschwindende Welt fotografierte, zeichnete Tucker ihre Gespräche mit den alten weisen Frauen der Familie auf. Es entstand ein lebendiges Archiv, das das Leben der Wesorts in ihren eigenen Worten und aus ihrer Sicht schildert.

    "In this unprecedented deep dive into inner-city gang life, Mark Bowden takes readers inside a Baltimore gang, offers an in-depth portrait of its notorious leader, and chronicles the 2016 FBI investigation that landed eight of its members in prison.

Drug deals dominate street corners, and ruthless, casual violence abounds. Montana Barronette grew up in the center of it all.

After a string of murders are linked to TTG, each with dozens of witnesses too intimidated to testify, three detectives set out to put Tana in prison for life. For them, this was never about drugs: it was about serial murder. An acclaimed journalist who spent his youth in the white suburbs of Baltimore, Mark Bowden returns to the city with exclusive access to key FBI files and unprecedented insight into one of the city's deadliest gangs and its notorious leader.
