Frida Kahlo (1907-54) er en af det 20. århundredes mest markante malere. Hendes liv og skæbne og ikke mindst hendes selvportrætter har gjort Kahlo til et ikon. Selvportrætterne er karakteriseret ved skarpe farver og kraftige symboler, der bærer vidne om hendes forbindelse til hjemlandet Mexico.Kahlos liv var kort men begivenhedsrigt. Et af det afgørende vendepunkter for Kahlo, var da hun kom ud for en trafikulykke, så hun resten af livet må kæmpe med svære smerter. Paradoksalt nok er det dog ulykken, som får Kahlo til at søge i retning af billedkunsten. I 1929 gifter Kahlo sig med Diego Rivera. Rivera er på daværende tidspunkt en af Mexicos største malere – og desuden 20 år ældre end Kahlo. Deres ægteskab er stormfuldt og præget af utroskab fra begge sider. Kahlo, som er gløende kommunist, indleder en affære med Lev Trotskij. Rivera er langt fra uskylden selv, da han forfører sin hustrus yngre søster. Dette er naturligvis til stor sorg for Kahlo. Livet og kærligheden,kunsten og smerten. Dagene før sin død skriver den syge Frida Kahlo "Jeg ser frem til min afgang – og håber aldrig mere at vende tilbage". I ’Jeg maler mit liv’ behandler og fortolker Ester Bock Frida Kahlos liv i romanform. Bogen er derfor både en kunstnerisk bearbejdelse og en biografisk skildring af kvinden og kunstneren Frida Kahlo. Ester Bock (f.1936) er en dansk forfatter, der har skrevet både romaner, lyrik, tv-spil og børnebøger. Bock debuterede i 1971 med børnebogen 'Lea får en lillebror'. Sidenhen er fulgt mere end 20 udgivelser. Beck har tillige modtaget fire arbejds- og rejselegater bl.a. fra Statens Kunstfond og Litteraturrådet.

Livet giver hende voldsomme ar på både krop og sjæl, og Frida må sande, at lykken kun er til låns. Men ikonet Frida Kahlo står for evigt.Frida Kahlo og livets farver er en storslået fortælling i serien STÆRKE KVINDERS SKÆBNER, der kaster lys over historiens mest ukuelige kvinder, deres revolutionerende kærlighedsliv og de skæbner, der ikke bare formede dem, men også forandrede historien.

For 500 år siden blev den storslåede aztekiske hovedstad, Tenochtitlan, erobret af spanske conquistadorer og deres indianske allierede. Snart efter lå dette drømmesyn af en by i ruiner. I dag ligger Tenochtitlan begravet under Mexico City – som en by under byen og et stærkt vidnesbyrd om Mexicos fascinerende historie.Overalt i det centrale og sydlige Mexico findes ruinbyer, tempelpyramider og paladser med vægmalerier og rige grave fra en lang række af de højt udviklede kulturer, der tilsammen udgjorde den mesoamerikanske civilisation.I Landet under landet rejser vi til syv af de mest berømte og storslåede af disse ruinbyer, herunder Teotihuacan og Palenque. Undervejs fortælles ikke blot historien om fortidens byliv, religionsdyrkelse, krige og vidtstrakte handelsnetværk, men også om nutidens Mexico og mødet med den fascinerende mexicanske geografi og natur krydret med oplevelser fra mange års forskning og feltarbejde.500 års spansk kolonisering har udryddet store dele af den mesoamerikanske kulturtradition, men den findes endnu – hvis man ved, hvor man skal kigge. Bogen fortæller om en stærk indiansk kultur i Mexico og viser, at disse nutidige folks verdensopfattelse og sprog kan være en vej til bedre at forstå den præcolumbianske fortid.

"A cookbook celebrating the cuisines and cultures of all twenty-one Latin American countries"--

Fear keeps them running. Hope keeps them alive. Vivid, visceral, utterly compelling, American Dirt is the first novel to explore the experience of attempting to illegally cross the US-Mexico border. Described as 'A Grapes of Wrath for our times' (Don Winslow) it is a story that will leave you utterly changed. - Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop. Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist. Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world. Today, her eight-year-old son Luca is all she has left. The afternoon of her niece's fifteenth birthday party, all Lydia's worst nightmares come true. As she and her son Luca cower in a bathroom shower stall, the rest of her family is gunned down by members of Acapulco's most notorious drug cartel, to make an example of her journalist husband. Lydia's survival instincts kick in immediately, and before the bodies of her family have cooled on the patio, she and Luca are fleeing for their lives. Such is the reach of the cartels, with roadblocks on every highway and the police in their pay, that Lydia quickly realises two things: that they must cross the US/Mexico border as quickly as possible, and that they cannot risk travelling by road. For Lydia and Luca, the most dangerous route is the only route - riding illegally atop the freight trains, known as la bestia, hidden amongst the thousands of migrants who will risk everything in the desperate hope of a new start in the United States. American Dirt is the most heartstopping story of a mother and son on the run since Emma Donoghue's Room, a novel that brings an unforgettably human face to the story of the Mexico/US Border.

" Il y avait autrefois, au pays de Tango, une bourgade du nom de Mizunoé. Dans cette bourgade vivait un pêcheur, qui s'appelait Ourashima Taro. C'était un homme vertueux, au coeur sensible et bon qui, de sa vie, n'avait jamais fait ni souhaité de mal à personne. Taro revenait un soir de la pêche. La prise ayant été abondante, il rentrait satisfait et joyeux. Sur le rivage, il aperçoit une bande de petits garçons, qui semblaient prendre un malin plaisir à tourmenter une petite tortue, trouvée sur le sable. Taro n'aimait pas qu'on fît souffrir les bêtes. Il eut pitié de la tortue. S'approchant des enfants, et s'efforçant de donner à sa voix un ton impérieux: - Quel mal vous a donc fait, dit-il, cette innocente créature, pour la tourmenter de la sorte ? Ignorez-vous que les dieux punissent les enfants qui maltraitent les animaux ? - Mêlez-vous donc de ce qui vous regarde, répond insolemment le plus âgé de la troupe. Cette tortue n'appartient à personne. Nous sommes libres de la tuer si cela nous fait plaisir. Vous n'avez rien à y voir. Le pêcheur comprend qu'aucun raisonnement n'aura de prise sur ces coeurs sans pitié. Il change de tactique et, d'un ton plus radouci: - Allons, ne vous fâchez pas ainsi, mes enfants ! je n'avais pas l'intention de vous gronder. Je voulais vous proposer un marché. Voulez-vous me vendre cette tortue ? Je vous en donne vingt sous. Cela vous va-t-il ? Vingt sous ! C'était une fortune pour ces marmots. Ils acceptent sans hésiter; Taro leur donne donc deux petites pièces blanches; aussitôt ils courent au village acheter des gâteaux."
