“Hvad skal jeg læse på min næste rejse?” Det er spørgsmålet Turen går til bøgernes Verden svarer på. Bogen indeholder omtaler af skønlitteratur og rejsebeskrivelser fra en række populære og mindre populære destinationer. Det er berigende at opleve destinationen gennem bøger, der udspiller sig netop dér, hvor man befinder sig. Litteratur lægger nye dimensioner til oplevelsen af rejsemålet, fra Paul Austers New York til Orhan Pamuks Istanbul. En anderledes guidebog, der stimulerer lysten til at rejse – og til at læse. TUREN GÅR TIL har eksisteret siden 1952 og er blandt verdens hyppigst opdaterede rejsebogsserier. Serien dækker hele verden fra Nordatlanten til Australien. Bøgerne skrives på dansk af forfattere og journalister med et særligt indgående kendskab til de enkelte destinationer. Med nøje udvalgte attraktioner, herunder spisesteder, viser vi vej til de største oplevelser. Kathrine Tschemerinsky (f. 1988) er uddannet antropolog på Columbia University i New York, men har også boet i San Francisco, Jerusalem, Paris og Berlin. Hun har tidligere arbejdet for Politikens Boghal samt ATLAS Magasin og var i 2015 med til at lancere ATLAS Bogtillæg. I dag arbejder hun som redaktør for Politikens Rejsebøger og er desuden fast bidragsyder til Weekendavisens Bøger.

At læse romaner er ikke virkelighedsflugt. Litteraturen inspirerer os til at få noget godt og stærkt ud af tilværelsen, til at stille krav om væsentlighed i livet. Vi får trænet forestillingsevnens muskel og lærer andre menneskers verdener at kende. Dette er fortælleren, præsten, forfatteren og læseren Flemming Kloster Poulsens lidenskabelige kærlighedserklæringtil litteraturen. I bogen viser han, hvordan man i selskab med romaner af bl.a. Dostojevskij, Ida Jessen, Jens Christian Grøndahl og Kerstin Ekmann kan tage livtag med tilværelsen og få greb om, hvad meningen med det hele er: "Aldrig har vi haft så mange informationer, aldrig har vi haft så store mængder viden om snart sagt hvad som helst. Alligevel er vi ikke blevet klogere på os selv. Alligevel er den mest udbredte sygdom i dag mangel på mening. Den viser sig som fravær af lidenskab og engagement, som kedsomhed, angst og depression ... Jeg tror på, at den gode fortælling har betydning i ethvert menneskes liv. Den er med til at give oplysning om det at være menneske, livsvejledning og mening i tilværelsen," skriver Flemming Kloster Poulsen i sit efterord.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) er en af det tyvende århundredes mest indflydelsesrige forfattere. Han, der var både rig og feteret, og så let som ingenting kunne have gjort livet bekvemt for sig selv, ofrede sig fuldkommen for sit romanværk À la recherche du temps perdu (1913-27).Med denne bog får man for første gang mulighed for at læse om Proust i Danmark – gennem 100 år – og en enestående introduktion til forfatteren og værket.Proust i Danmark byder på et stykke dansk litteraturhistorie om modtagelsen af Proust og hans roman. Her er desuden oversættelseshistorien og beskrivelser af de danske anmelderes, kritikeres, skønlitterære forfatteres og forskeres forhold til Proust – fra Christian Rimestad over Jacob Paludan og Margrethe Møller til Søren Ulrik Thomsen, Jens Christian Grøndahl, Henning Goldbæk, Bjørn Bredal, Kirsten Thorup og Suzanne Brøgger. Dette er 2. stærkt reviderede udgave – med N.A.C. Things afhandling I dialog med Proust (Lunds Universitet, 2015) indlejret. Det bibringer læseren indsigt i det forskningsmæssige grundlag for den passionerede receptionsundersøgelse.

Mikkel Fønsskov og Anders Magelund har interviewet ni af landets absolutte topledere og en kendt og elsket forfatter. Resultatet er en inspirerende bog, der ikke alene stimulerer læselysten, men også blotlægger, hvorfor læsning af skønlitteratur er det mentale brændstof, som driver disse ledere.I Hvem er bange for Moby Dick? hører vi fra lederne selv, hvorfor de til hver en tid hellere læser en god roman end en ledelsesbog – hvordan det styrker deres empati, gør dem bedre til at kommunikere og motivere, og hvordan skønlitteratur lærer dem at træde i karakter.Det er de gode historier, der gør dem klogere på værdier, trends, og hvad der egentlig driver mennesker og medarbejdere, og på hvordan man leder gennem store transformationer og forløser potentialer.Hvem skulle have troet, at nogle af Danmarks vigtiste topledere baserer deres lederskab på Karen Blixen, John Steinbeck og Henrik Pontoppidan?Samtalepartnere:Knud Bartels, Marianne Dahl, Mette Frederiksen, Christian Jensen, Morten Hesseldahl, Hanne-Vibeke Holst, Henrik Mulvad, André Rogaczewski, Sine Sunesen og Margrethe Vestager

I Min bogverden deler den svenske forfatter Kerstin Ekman, f. 1933, ud af de både personlige og stærke oplevelser, som litteraturen har beriget hende med.Hun fortæller om bøger, hun er kommet til at elske, bøger, der blev bedste venner, og bøger, som gav trøst – og om hvordan læsning og skrivning hænger uløseligt sammen.Min bogverden er læsninger fra en af nordens største forfattere af blandt andre Philip Roth, Herman Bang, Emily Brontë, Thomas Mann og Henrik Ibsen. En sanselig odysse gennem et langt læseliv, hvor de mest fortrolige venner står i hyldemeter.

History Hub presents a complete biography of Winston Churchill from start to end, whose remarkable story inspires us even today. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill lived an incredible and meaningful life. At a young age, it already became evident that he's going to make a name when he grows up. He had some struggles and challenges as years went by, and as he tried to achieve his goals, and to overcome them one by one. Indeed, failing did not stop him from trying. With little supervision from his parents, he worked hard and met his wife along the way, who became his companion through thick and thin. His wife, Clementine Hozier, stayed and supported him in everything he did. He marvelled that he wouldn't know what to do without her by his side. Churchill also explored different careers all at the same time. As a statesman, he led Britain into war from 1940 to 1945. He was also a historian, a biographer and a prolific painter who created 500 murals in his later years. Finally, he was a celebrated writer whose books are still being read and studied until today.

Værsgo! Læseinspiration til børn og unge – og ikke mindst deres voksne og da også gamle – fra en af Danmarks mest garvede anmeldere:”Den første bog jeg tændte på, var Robin Hood. Min mor gav mig lov til at pjække fra skole, fordi jeg måtte læse bogen færdig. Siden er jeg blevet tændt af mange bøger. Det er ikke nødvendigvis de allerbedste. Men de har tændt mig. Sådan er det med bøger. Så her er min helt egen pjækkebogliste,” skriver Steffen Larsen i bogens forord.Undervejs møder læseren hundredvis af forfattere og tegnere med alle deres frit flyvende fantasier. Men Harry Potter eller Alice møde man ikke, ligesom brødrene Løvehjerte også rider udenom. Dem kender man sikkert i forvejen. Til gengæld er her 79 nedslag i historier for børn og unge (og alle andre) om skønhed, sorg og salighed. En redningskrans til tiden. Mens tid er. Et lærketræ. Et vibeskrig. En lille sang om frihed.

El libro estudia la relación de la literatura con distintos conceptos de desplazamiento. Así, trata sobre autores, como George Steiner, que por circunstancias históricas deben abandonar su lugar de origen, aunque vuelven siempre a él mediante la lectura de sus clásicos. También estudia obras escritas en una lengua distinta a la materna porque están destinadas a un público externo (los libros de escritoras árabes que publican en inglés). Igualmente un trabajo, dedicado a una poeta social española, analiza la presencia de personajes desplazados. También se incluyen dos capítulos sobre literatura de viajes, en género lírico (los Cuadernos de Rusia de Ridruejo) y en narrativa (testimonios de viajeros alemanes por Extremadura).

The giant of literary theory analyzes the novel: Conrad, James, Atwood, Oe, Mailer, Grass, Grossman, Garcia Márquez, Gibson, Knausgaard and more

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A small masterpiece. There is something funny, notable or awe-inspiring on every single page' Jenny Colgan, SpectatorA joyful celebration of books the perfect gift for bibliophiles, word lovers and anyone who's ever wondered, should you judge a book by its cover? We love the words in books but what about the words on them? How do they work their magic? Here is a book about the ways books entice us to read them: their titles, quotes, covers and, above all, blurbs via authors from Jane Austen to Zadie Smith, writing tricks, classic literature, bonkbusters, plot spoilers and publishing secrets. It's nothing less than the inside story of the outside of books.And it answers questions like: Why do some authors hate blurbs so much they burn their own books? Should all adjectives be murdered? Is blurbing sometimes maybe lying? Is it true that (checks jacket) you need an animal on a book's cover to make it a bestseller? What are the most terrible blurbs of all time? Join Penguin publishing word wizard Louise Willder five thousand blurbs written, mostly avoiding the phrase ';unputdownable tour-de-force' to discover why we should judge a book by its cover. Even this one. (It's an unputdownable tour-de-force.)';The bookiest book about books you'll ever read I loved it' Lucy Mangan ';Truly delightful...I couldn't have had more fun' Benjamin Dreyer ';Very funny, erudite and profound.

This wide-ranging encyclopedia covers all the characters, places and objects included in the seminal book that first introduced the world of Middle-earth, highlighting the legendary sources from which Tolkien took inspiration.

This volume is a collection of scholarly, editorial, and personal commentaries (Chapters) on "schizophrenia" with special attention directed toward the consequences of "imprecision" in professional and scientific thought and practice because of our failure to accept "schizophrenia" is a construct. A construct is a term, word, concept subject to denotative and connotative semantic abuses and limitations.The reification of a construct in the absence of substantial research confirmation, leads to disorders in our professional and scientific thought and practice, which scholars have termed "epistemopathologies."This is the irony and the tragedy, as "schizophrenia" has acquired widespread acceptance and use as a medical/psychiatric/political diagnostic label. The label serves a mental health industry, but does little to explain or describe the etiology, expressions, and care of individuals assigned the "term."A central issue is the commitment to "reductionism" as a conceptual and methodological pillar for the "mental health industry." Reductionism is an ideology, legitimizing medical solutions for critical widespread social, political, economic, and moral problems.The ideology is apparent in the construct of "schizophrenia," where " utility" arguments for the continued medical diagnoses, treatments, and professional roles, deny issues of validity. This volume explores historical, conceptual, and cultural sources of our continuing use and abuse of the construct of "schizophrenia" as a questionable foundation for a mental health industry, perpetuating and tolerating "imprecision."
