Sande fortællinger: heltemod, udholdenhed og overlevelse

En kæmpe ildsøjle oplyste 23. november 1951 den københavnske nattehimmel og blev efterfulgt af et øredøvende brag fra flådestationen på Holmen. Hvad der var begyndt som en uskyldig brand i et træskur, udviklede sig til en katastrofe, fordi skuret var et armeringsværksted, der indeholdt 11 søminer. De stakkels brandfolk, der var blevet tilkaldt af flådestationen og var i færd med at slukke branden, var ikke blevet advaret om eksplosionsfaren, og de var chanceløse overfor den voldsomme eksplosion, som branden udløste.11 brandfolk, tre falckreddere og to mand fra søværnet måttelade livet. Holmenkatastrofen er den værste ulykke i Københavns Brandvæsenshistorie, men det er også historien om et fattigt dansk forsvar, der pludselig skulle omstille sig til at være en del af NATO. Det indebar blandt andet, at søværnet skulle modtage store leverancer af søminer fra USA. Travlheden og knapheden på ressourcer skabte ideelle betingelser for katastrofen. Hvad var årsagen og hvem havde ansvaret for Holmenkatastrofen? Disse spørgsmål forsøger bogen også at besvare.

Dansk debut forfatter springer ud internationalt med den første biografipå engelsk om den latinamerikanske legende, Mercedes Sosa.Som en hyldest til den legendariske argentinske folkesanger, aktivist, ogmenneskerettighedsforkæmper, Mercedes Sosa, i folkemunde også kaldt ”La Negra”,lancerer den danske forfatter, Anette Christensen, Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope.Christensen hørte om Mercedes Sosa for førte gang den 4. oktober 2009, dagen hvorkunstnerens død blev annonceret i de danske nyheder. Alligevel ændrede mødet medMercedes Sosa forfatterens liv og Christensen har lige siden fordybet sig i MercedesSosa's musikalske og personlige univers.Udover at være den mest succesfulde argentinske sanger nogensinde er Mercedes Sosaogså kendt for budskabet om fred og solidaritet og blev ved hjemkomsten fra sit 3 årigeeksil i Europa Sydamerikas symbol på demokrati. For Christensen, er Mercedes Sosa ikkebare Latinamerikas ”Pachamama”, men Sydamerikas svar på Nelson Mandela. Da derikke fandtes en biografi om legenden på engelsk, valgte forfatteren at dedikere sig tilopgaven. "Sosa er en rollemodel, der bevidstgør os og revolutionerer vores hjerter ogvores samvittighed. Hun inspirerer os til at gøre verden til et bedre og mere retfærdigt stedfor alle," siger Christensen.Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope, kortlægger Sosa's ekstraordinære liv og karriere ogtegner en psykologisk profil, der afslører, hvordan Sosa’s opdragelse i en fattigarbejderklassefamilie, det politiske miljø i Argentina under diktaturet i 70’erne samtpersonlige trængsler formede hende som menneske og som kunstner.Christensen lægger ikke skjul på at hun befandt sig i en større livskrise da hun hørte omMercedes Sosa første gang og at mødet med Sosa forandrede hendes liv. Som LeonardCohen synger i sangen, Anthem, ’There is a crack in everything, that is how the light getsin’, blev Mercedes Sosa det lys der fandt vej til forfatteren i en mørk tid. Christensensnysgerrighed efter at forstå hvorfor Mercedes Sosa gjorde så stort et indtryk på hende, harværet drivkraften til at skrive biografien. Med udgangspunkt i sit livsforvandlende mødemed Sosa udforsker Christensen, hvorledes vores dybeste relationer, kan have engenoprettende virkning på både krop og sjæl. Christensen har været i tæt samarbejdemed et hold af førende terapeuter på New Zealand for at få neurovidenskabelig belæg forteorien om at positive relationer kan sætte skub i vores personlige udvikling og medvirke tilat læge trauma, der går helt tilbage til barndommen. Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hopeer et direkte produkt af forfatterens personlige rejse. Den åbner en ny dør til selvudviklingsom er let tilgængelig for alle.Med sin ærlige og ligefremme fortællestil inspirerer Christensen læseren til at bevæge sigfremad på sin personlige rejse! Dette er en fortælling, der kalder på at få det bedste frem ios alle – den kalder på ægthed, empati og medfølelse. Du kan forandre verden ved atvære dig selv, det er Mercedes Sosa’s liv et eksempel på”, afslutter Christensen. Christensen har i de seneste år haft løbende kontakt til Mercedes Sosa’s familie ogMercedes Sosa Fonden i Argentina, som har givet bogen sine anbefalinger. MercedesSosa – The Voice of Hope, udkom på spansk i Latinamerika i december 2018.

A Promise Too Big is a captivating memoir that speaks to the indomitable human spirit of never giving up. It is an inspiring story of how a young man, against all odds, found ways to overcome overwhelming adversities to fulfil a precious promise. At 13 years old in 2010, Josues settled in a council estate in a small town in County Kildare with no English. He moved to Ireland with his brother, Chris (15 years old at the time) to join their family. He made a promise to his mother and grandmother that he will one day hold a university degree at all cost, as he left them at the airport in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 2015, he discovered he had been abandoned, made homeless and left to fend for himself with just ¿65 to his name. Chris became homeless in 2014 when he was kicked out of their home. The brothers told themselves that they couldn't afford to fail. They picked themselves up and relied on those around them including strangers for support in their pursuit of higher education.In his pursuit of his third level education, he found refuge among drug and alcohol addicts in Dublin's inner city, impoverished areas of Dublin. He found place of solace among those rejected by society. In order to stay financially afloat, he desperately searched for job opportunities. The turning point in his life occurred when he was contacted by McDonald's for an interview, marking the beginning of a new chapter. However, with the sudden loss of his university grant, he had to rely on the income from his job at McDonald's to sustain himself as well as finance the last two years of his university education by himself. Despite the demands of pursuing full-time studies, he balanced a full-time job alongside his academic commitments.In 2019, Josues graduated with a first-class honours in Microbiology from University College Dublin.

In 2023, he joined Apple, one of the largest company in the world by market cap, as an indirect tax analyst.The story is an ode to the power of hope and perseverance, and how the smallest opportunities can change one's life. It is a story of unwavering determination and resilience where one's aspirations are pursued through countless sacrifices and unyielding hard work, but begs the question: at what cost?This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster and leave you inspired.

A 2021 Daily Telegraph Book of the YearWinner of the Overseas Press Club of America's Cornelius Ryan Award ?Everyone should read the testimonies of the Chibok girls who survived the capture. We need to help with efforts to liberate all of them and become more responsible for women and girls' protection in conflicts.? ? Malala YousafzaiWhat happens after you click Tweet? The heart-stopping definitive account of the mission to rescue hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls whose abduction ignited a global social media campaign and a dramatic worldwide intervention. In the spring of 2014, millions of Twitter users, including some of the world's most famous people, unwittingly helped turn a group of 276 schoolgirls abducted by a little-known Islamist sect into a central prize in the global War on Terror by retweeting a call for their release: #BringBackOurGirls. With just four words, their tweets launched an army of would-be liberators. Soldiers and drones, spies, mercenaries, and glory hunters descended into an obscure conflict that few understood, in a remote part of Nigeria that had barely begun to use the internet. When hostage talks and military intervention failed, the schoolgirls were forced to take survival into their own hands. As their days in captivity dragged into years, the young women learned to withstand hunger, disease, and torment, and became witnesses and victims of unspeakable brutality. Many of the girls were Christians who refused to take the one path offered them?converting to their captors' fundamentalist creed. In secret, they sang hymns, and kept a diary, relying on their faith and friendships to stay alive.Bring Back Our Girls unfolds across four continents, from the remote forests of northern Nigeria to the White House; from clandestine meetings in Khartoum safe houses to century-old luxury hotels on picturesque lakes in the Swiss Alps. A twenty-first century story that plumbs the promise and peril of an era whose politics are fueled by the power of hashtag advocacy, this urgent and engrossing work of investigative journalism reveals the unpredictable interconnectedness of our butterfly-wings world, where a few days of online activism can bring years of offline consequences for people continents away.

Nepal, c. 1900: The single deadliest animal in recorded history began stalking humans, moving like a phantom through the lush foothills of the Himalayas. As the death toll reached an astonishing 435 lives, a young local hunter was dispatched to stop the now-legendary man-eater before it struck again. One part pulse-pounding thriller, one part soulful natural history of the endangered Royal Bengal tiger, acclaimed writer Dane Huckelbridge's No Beast So Fierce is the gripping true account of the Champawat Tiger, which terrified northern India and Nepal from 1900 to 1907, and Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter who pursued it. Huckelbridge's masterful telling also reveals that the tiger, Corbett, and the forces that brought them together are far more complex and fascinating than a simple man-versus-beast tale. At the turn of the twentieth century, as British rule of India tightened and bounties were placed on tiger's heads, a tigress was shot in the mouth by a poacher. Injured but alive, it turned from its usual hunting habits to easier prey?humans. For the next seven years, this man-made killer terrorized locals, growing bolder with every kill. Colonial authorities, desperate for help, finally called upon Jim Corbett, a then-unknown railroad employee of humble origins who had grown up hunting game through the hills of Kumaon. Like a detective on the trail of a serial killer, Corbett tracked the tiger's movements in the dense, hilly woodlands?meanwhile, the animal shadowed Corbett in return. Then, after a heartbreaking new kill of a young woman whom he was unable to protect, Corbett followed the gruesome blood trail deep into the forest where hunter and tiger would meet at last.Drawing upon on-the-ground research in the Indian Himalayan region where he retraced Corbett's footsteps, Huckelbridge brings to life one of the great adventure sagas of the twentieth century. And yet Huckelbridge draws a deeper, more complex story into focus, placing the episode into its full context for the first time: that of colonialism's disturbing impact on the ancient balance between man and tiger; and that of Corbett's own evolution from a celebrated hunter to a principled conservationist who in time would earn fame for his devotion to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat. Today the Corbett Tiger Reserve protects 1,200 km of wilderness; within its borders is Jim Corbett National Park, India's oldest and most prestigious national park and a vital haven for the very animals Corbett once hunted.An unforgettable tale, magnificently told, No Beast So Fierce is an epic of beauty, terror, survival, and redemption for the ages.

Prisoner of the OGPU, first published in 1935, is a firsthand account of the author's 4 years in the Soviet gulag (1928-32) at the hands of the Soviet secret police (known as the OGPU at the time, later renamed the NKVD, MGB, and KGB). At the time of his arrest, George Kitchin, a Finnish citizen, was working in Russia as a representative for an American firm. He was charged with violating an obscure regulation, held in prison, and then sent to a labor camp located in northern Russia where he describes the brutalities he endured and witnessed. The book also offers excellent insights into the running of the camps as Kitchin was able to work in the camp's administration offices (in addition to sometimes being sent to work on the timber-cutting and road-building labor crews).The OGPU was one of several in a succession of state security agencies created by the Soviets. the first group was the Cheka, created by Vladimir Lenin on December 20, 1917. The main task of the Cheka was to combat counter-revolutionary activity, which included arresting, torturing, and executing thousands. Soldiers belonging to the Cheka were tasked with: policing labor camps, running the Gulag system, subjecting political opponents to arrests, detention, torture and execution, and subduing rebellions or riots by the workers or peasants. The Cheka was followed by the GPU, the State Political Directorate, in 1922. The GPU was renamed again in 1923 to the OGPU, the United State Political Administration.

Denne bog handler om konsekvenserne af tvivlsomme anbringelser af grønlandske børn, som stod på i tiden op til indførelsen af Grønlands Hjemmestyre i 1979. Det grønlandske fænomen gavebørn – en slags midlertidig adoption uden myndigheders indblanding – blev gennem tre årtier “koloniseret” af danske gæstearbejdere i Grønland, og stribevis af grønlandske børn blev sendt i pleje i danske familier, ofte uden deres forældres formelle samtykke.I dag er gavebørnene voksne – og flere er mærket af traumatiske opvækstvilkår. I Danmark var de eksotiske indslag. I Grønland var de paria, fordi de ikke talte deres eget sprog.

"Extraordinary storytelling about unfathomable horror." - Library Journal (starred review)"[A] worthy tribute to the extraordinary bravery of a remarkable woman." -- Publishers WeeklyIn World War II's Poland, thirty year old Zofia Sterner and her husband Wacek refuse to be classified as Jews destined for extermination.Instead, they evade the Nazis and the Soviets in several dramatic escapes and selflessly rescue many Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto and a labor camp, later becoming active participants in the Warsaw Uprising where they are taken prisoner. This retelling, captured through diaries, interviews, war crime trial testimonies, and letters, detail the Sterners' heroic rescues, escapes, and ultimate survival. A true story of hope amid horrifying tragedy, How We Outwitted and Survived the Nazis illustrates how war brings out the worst and the best in people, and how true humanity and heroism of ordinary people are revealed by their willingness to risk everything and help others. This story is about being human under the most inhumane conditions.

Born in the Old City of Sana'a, Yemen, Mohammed Al Samawi was raised a devout Muslim and taught to think of Christians and Jews as his enemies. But when Mohammed secretly received a copy of the Bible, what he read cast doubt on everything he'd previously believed. After connecting with Jews and Christians on social media and at international interfaith conferences, Mohammed became an activist, making it his mission to promote dialogue and cooperation in Yemen.Then came the death threats: first on Facebook, then through terrifying anonymous phone calls. To protect himself and his family, Mohammed fled to the southern port city of Aden. Yet his new home was about to become the heart of a brutal north-south civil war that has turned Yemen into one of the twenty-first century's worst humanitarian crises. As gunfire and grenades exploded outside his window, Mohammed hid in the bathroom of his apartment and desperately appealed to his contacts on Facebook.Remarkably, a handful of people he barely knew responded. Over thirteen days, four ordinary young people with zero experience in diplomacy or military exfiltration worked across six technology platforms and ten time zones to save this innocent young man trapped between deadly forces. A thrilling page-turner that deeply affirms the human spirit, The Fox Hunt reminds us that goodness can triumph even in the darkest circumstances.
