    Alt hvad vi var er den dramatiske fortælling om hvordan kærlighed og kunst kan forandre verdenen. Den stærke fortælling med afsæt i historiske begivenheder, danner grundlag for skæbnefortællinger med stærke kvinder i centrum.I Sovjetunionen i 1949 bliver den berømte forfatter Boris Pasternak stemplet af myndighederne som systemkritisk og senere ekskluderet, inden hans manuskript om den nye kærlighedsroman Doktor Zjivago, når at blive udgivet. Olga Ivinskaja, der er en nær ven og elskerinde til forfatteren Boris Pasternak, bliver herefter sendt i arbejdslejr. Forfatterens manuskript bliver smuglet ud af landet, og romanen formår at blive en verdenssensation. CIA planlægger i 1956 at bruge den verdenskendte roman som et våben i Den Kolde Krig, hvor de to agenter som bliver bragt i spil, ikke er som de fleste andre. Her står den erfarne og charmerende spion Sally og den lovende nybegynder Irina over for deres livs udfordring. Opgaven er skræmmende svær, da de skal smugle den meget omtalte roman tilbage ind i Sovjetunionen, koste hvad det vil.

    Inspireret af en sand historie har Jamie Ford skrevet en vidunderlig bittersød roman om at finde kærligheden i en verden, hvor alt – også mennesker – er til salg.Seattle 1909. For den halvkinesiske børnehjemsdreng Ernest virker tilbuddet om at besøge den store verdensudstilling som noget af en gave, men midt i al hurlumhejet med eksotiske udstillinger, fyrværkeri og pariserhjul opdager han, at det i virkeligheden er ham, der er gaven. Dagens store begivenhed er bortlodningen af 'en sund og rask dreng til et godt hjem' – ham!Vinderloddet viser sig at tilhøre den flamboyante Madam Flora, der driver et bordel for byens bedre borgerskab og bryster sig af at tage sig godt af sine piger. Her får Ernest job som stikirenddreng og får for første gang nogensinde noget, der minder om et hjem og en familie.I 1962, godt halvtreds år senere, er der igen verdensudstilling i byen. Ernest er nu en ældre mand, og hans datter Juju, der er journalist på den lokale avis, stiller nysgerrige spørgsmål til den første verdensudstilling. Der er minder fra den tid, Ernest helst ikke vil genbesøge, og gamle hemmeligheder, der ikke må se dagens lys, men samtidig må Ernest måske åbne lidt op, hvis han også skal hjælpe sin syge kone med at få hukommelsen tilbage.”En stemningsfuld, inderlig og smuk fortælling … Det er Ford, når han er bedst.”– Kristin Hannah, forfatter til NattergalenPressen skriver:»Dette er en fremragende roman, bygget på en sand historie, og en af den slags bøger, der åbner døre til verdener, man ikke vidste, man havde brug for at kigge ind i.«***** – Femina»Romanen rammer lige i hjertekulen med sin dybt rørende kærlighedshistorie og sin beskrivelse af et miljø, der på overfladen ser flot ud, men som i virkeligheden er manipulerende og falskt, og som kommer til at koste hovedpersonerne dyrt og sætter dybe spor hele livet.«***** – Familie Journal»Historien fortælles i et mættet og sanseligt sprog, og man ser scenerne for sig, efterhånden som de ruller frem.«***** – Søndag»Historien er velfortalt, sproget er let og strømmende, fyldt med farver og liv, og det er en absolut læseværdig bog … en god og gribende historie, som vil blive hos dig længe.« – Skriv for livet

    Krabbefiskeren Fox Thornton har ry for at være en sexet, skødesløs elsker. Lige indtil han møder Hannah Bellinger.

  • - Beretninger fra klimafronten
    af Robert Zola Christensen & Sebastian H. Mernild
    118,95 - 160,95 kr.

    Gennem mere end 10 år har forfatteren Robert Zola Christensen rejst i hælene på den kendte danske klimaforsker Sebastian H. Mernild. Sammen har de to været på ekspedition til nogle af verdens mest fjerne egne for at dokumentere, hvad det forandrende klima gør ved vores klode. For der hersker ingen tvivl. Klimaet er under enorme forandringer. Der bliver målt stigende vandstande mange steder, det er blevet varmere, og isen smelter på polerne. Konsekvenserne er enorme.I Da kulden forsvandt tager Sebastian H.  Mernild og Robert Zola Christensen os med ud på Indlandsisen for at bore efter is i flere kilometers dybde, vi er fanget i en snestorm højt oppe i Andesbjergene, og så møder vi de mennesker, der må forlade deres hjem, fordi klimaet tvinger dem væk.Bogen er en barsk og samtidig livsbekræftende reportagerejse til klimafronten, hvor to venner – naturvidenskabsmanden og humanisten – dokumenterer den brutale og uundgåelige udvikling, vi alle er vidne til, og sammen reflekterer de to over, hvad der skal til for at fylde fremtiden med håb.

  • af Kimberly Jensen
    268,95 - 964,95 kr.

    "In the era of the First World War and its aftermath, the quest to identify, restrict, and punish internal enemy "others," combined with eugenic thinking, severely curtailed civil liberties for many people in Oregon and the nation. In Oregon's Others, Kimberly Jensen analyzes the processes that shaped the growing surveillance state of the era and the compelling personal stories that tell its history. The exclusionary and invasive practices ranged from multiple wartime registrations for women and the registration of "enemy aliens" to the incarceration of women with sexually transmitted diseases, the use of deportations, and forced sterilization at the Oregon State Hospital and other institutions. But some Oregonians resisted the restrictions and challenges to their civil liberties. Their fierce determination to maintain their rights and freedoms fueled movements for human rights, social justice, and dissent that still reverberate today. Oregon's Others examines the collision of civil liberties and persecution through the lens of gender, gender identity and presentation, ability, race, ethnicity, and class"--

    In the quaint town where silence whispers secrets, young Caleb's life is rooted in ordinary days, until the new girl of the village steps into his world. Her presence is a mystery, her past a shadow, yet the allure of love draws Caleb into the unknown, unravelling his existence in ways unimaginable. As sinister forces emerge from the gloom, their tranquil town morphs into a playground of unseen malevolence. With an evil unknown chasing their shadows, they find themselves on a perilous run, a chase that leads them through a portal into realms veiled from human eyes. Now in a dimension where evil reigns with a dark hand, they face a malevolent force that thrives in the abyss. Battling a terror they barely comprehend, the stakes are life and death, with love being their only shield. Will they win this fight? Is it really love? Or will they die for each other? In this dangerous quest for victory, will love conquer all, or will it be their downfall?

One morning on his daily walk he encounters a confused elderly woman lost in a market and returns her to the senior centre that is her home. Hoping to fill the void he's known since retiring, Bob begins volunteering at the center. Here, as a community of strange peers gathers around Bob, and following a brush with a painful complication from his past, the events of his life and the details of his character are revealed. Behind Bob Comet's straight man facade is the story of an unhappy child's runaway adventure during the last days of the Second World War, of true love won and stolen away, of the purpose and pride found in the librarian's vocation, and the pleasures of a life lived to the side of the masses.

    Stunning photography of wood and argillite carvings by over a hundred Indigenous women artists on the Northwest Coast.Though women of the Northwest Coast have long carved poles, canoes, panels, and masks, many of these artists have not become as well known outside their communities as their male counterparts. These artists are cherished within their communities for helping to keep traditional carving practices alive, and for maintaining the dances, songs, and ceremonies that are intertwined with visual art production. This book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Audain Art Museum, gathers a range of sculptural formats by Indigenous women over the past seventy years in order to expand the discourse of carving in the region.Both the exhibition and publication are co-curated by Dana Claxton, artist, filmmaker and head of the University of British Columbia’s Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory; and Dr. Curtis Collins, the Audain’s Director & Chief Curator. Texts include an introduction by Skeena Reece, an essay by Claxton, and interviews with Dale Campbell and Mary Anne Barkhouse. Over one hundred artworks from public and private collections across North America are shown, including several newly commissioned pieces.Featured artists include: Ellen Neel (Kwakwaka'wakw, 1916–1966)Freda Diesing (Haida, 1925–2002)Susan Point (Musqueam, b. 1952)Dale Campbell (Tahltan, b. 1954)Marianne Nicolson (Kwakwaka’wakw, b. 1969)Arlene Ness (Gitxsan, b. 1970s) Skeena Reece (Tsʼmsyen/Gitxsan and Cree, b. 1974)Melanie Russ (Haida, b. 1977)Morgan Asoyuf (Ts’msyen, b. 1984)Cori Savard (Haida, b. 1985)Stephanie Anderson (Wetsuwet’en, b. 1991)Veronica Waechter (Gitxsan, b. 1995)

    Was the poet, William Wordsworth, right when he wrote "the child is the father of the man"? That is the question Jane Meyer asks Ruth Lucas in a letter. Best friends since high school, and now in their early thirties, Ruth and Jane keep in close touch through letters, phone calls, and when they can, visits.When Ruth gets Jane's letter with this question about Wordsworth's line, she decides to review what stood out in her childhood and ask herself if those times informed and shaped the woman she became. This process takes her weeks and traverses early family memories, her college years, a job in Washington, her first lover, and other experiences on her way to becoming her own woman. Her answer to Jane's question is Love, Ruthie.

    In modern-day Seattle, Cole paces through the mundane, counting down the minutes until he can see his fiancée, Beth, to celebrate his 26th birthday. However, they did not celebrate when an emergency telecast took over every screen in the country to announce the impending nuclear doom, flying toward every major city in the United States. The city fell into chaos while Cole and Beth fought their way home to simply enjoy their last night alone and make peace with the sun about to set on their lives. It was when they woke up the next morning that they thought themselves the lucky ones. Only time would educate them on how unlucky they truly were.What would be universally referred to as The Fall, by survivors across the continent had far worse things in store than nuclear warfare. We watch the world unravel through the eyes of two desperate survivors, who are by no means heroes. In a world where cities become the home to creatures that stalk the night and mankind teeters on the brink of extinction, we see what true desperation really looks like. What people will do when they look death in the eye every single day when there is no room for honor or peace.We see what mankind is really capable of at its core and why it might very well be the worst parasite to plague the earth.
