Terry Pratchett- A Life With Footnotes Bok
<p><b>WINNER OF THE BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR BEST NON-FICTION</b><br/><br/>'Always readable, illuminating and honest. It made me miss the real Terry.' <i>- </i><b>Neil Gaiman</b><br/><br/>'Sometimes joyfully, sometimes painfully, intimate . . . it is wonderful to have this closeup picture of the writer's working life.' - <b>Frank Cottrell-Boyce, <i>Observer</i></b><br/><br/>--------<br/><br/><b>At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet - his own.</b><br/><br/>The creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, Terry Pratchett was known and loved around the world for his hugely popular books, his smart satirical humour and the humanity of his campaign work. But that's only part of the picture.<br/><br/>Before his untimely death, Terry was writing a memoir: the story of a boy who aged six was told by his teacher that he would never amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him wrong. For Terry lived a life full of astonishing achievements: becoming one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved writers, winning the prestigious Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood.<br/><br/>Now, the book Terry sadly couldn't finish has been written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the Pratchett literary estate. Drawing on his own extensive memories, along with those of the author's family, friends and colleagues, Rob unveils the full picture of Terry's life - from childhood to his astonishing writing career, and how he met and coped with what he called the 'Embuggerance' of Alzheimer's disease.<br/><br/><b>A deeply moving and personal portrait of the extraordinary life of Sir Terry Pratchett, written with unparalleled insight and filled with funny anecdotes, this is the only official biography of one of our finest authors.</b><br/><br/>--------<br/><br/>'Spins magic from mundanity in precisely the way Pratchett himself did.' - <i><b>Telegraph</b></i><br/><br/>'As frank, funny and unsentimental as anything its subject might have produced himself.' - <i><b>Mail on Sunday</b></i></p>

The Extraordinary Life Of An Ordinary Man Bok
<p><b>As seen in <i>The Last Movie Stars </i>documentary - t</b><b>he raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, Tom Cruise and many others.</b><br/><br/>In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman's family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor's life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years.<br/><br/>The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman's voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices - from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston - that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling.<br/><br/>Newman's often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Brando and Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward - their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually.<br/><br/>THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF AN ORDINARY MAN is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.<br/><br/><b>Praise for Paul Newman</b><br/>'One of the greatest screen actors of all time and a beautiful man.' <b>Daniel Craig</b><br/><br/>'He set the bar too high for the rest of us. Not just actors, but all of us.' <b>George Clooney</b><br/><br/>''He was my hero.' <b>Julia Roberts</b><br/><br/>'Paul was an American Icon.' <b>President Bill Clinton</b><br/><br/>'The ultimate cool guy, who men wanted to be like and women adored. He was an American icon, a brilliant actor, a Renaissance man and a generous but modest philanthropist ... Newman entertained millions in some of Hollywood's most memorable roles ever, and brightened the lives of amny more, especially seriously ill children, through his charitable works.' <b>Arnold Schwarzenegger</b><br/><br/>'Sometimes God makes perfect people and Paul Newman was one of them.' <b>Sally Field</b><br/><br/>'One of the very finest screen actors of our time. Newman spanned the gap between the golden days of Hollywood, the 40s and 50s with actors like Cary Grant and James Stewart and Clark Gable, and the present lot represented by Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise' <b>Sir Michael Parkinson</b><br/><br/>'Newman was a fine driver, who was famous in Hollywood for doing his own stunt driving as often as not.' <b>Ron Dennis, Formula 1's McLaren Chief</b><br/><br/>'To say he was an extraordinary man would be an understatement. he saw himself as a working actor, not a movie star, and insisted that everyone else did the same. There was no ego, no entourage, no hangers on. Only Paul, his script and his incredible spirit. One can say this about very few people, but he was a truly great man. It seems to me to be one of the great 20th-century lives: he was famously generous, with his extraordinary and unstinting work for his charities, he was a shining example of how to use global fame for the greater good, and most of all he was one of the great movie actors of this or any other age. [Directing Newman] was the highlight of my professional life.' <b>Sam Mendes</b></p>

Resor Med Björn Lénberg Bok
Björn Lénberg är företagaren som sålde företaget och istället blev evangelist med Gud som arbetsgivare. När han konkret valde att följa Jesus blev det ändring i livet. Nu var det inte längre fokus på pengar, utan på att hjälpa människor.<br/>Sedan dess har det blivit många, många resor över hela världen i hans begagnade SJ-buss. Sammanlagt blir det 78 länder som Björn besökt, fler än 100 gånger bara i det forna Sovjetunionen.<br/><br/>I den här utmanande och inspirerande boken får vi följa med Björn till Burma, Kina, Ukraina, Etiopien, Israel och många fler länder. Vi får höra om de märkliga och förunderliga ting som Gud gör runt världen när en människa gör sig villig att tjäna. Förundrade får vi läsa om helanden, mirakel och under som Gud har gjort längs vägen för att bereda väg för sitt evangelium.<br/><br/>Björn Lénberg hade 1984 en stark andlig upplevelse som helt förändrade hans liv. De senaste 28 åren har han ägnat åt evangelisation och hjälp till olika länder. På senare år har han särskilt engagerat sig i att hjälpa de fattiga i Etiopien.

Vägar Jag Inte Visste Fanns - Vägar Jag Inte Visste Fanns Bok
Den här boken berättar om Guds närvaro i livets upp- och nedgångar. Ibland har den närvaron tagit sådana former att den satt spår för livet. Så var det med en kyrkoherdes profetiska budskap som senare länkades samman med en gammal mormors böner. Berättelsen handlar om vägval och återvändsgränder och om kampen mellan tvivel och tro.Men också om hur den väg äventyrens Gud öppnar visar sig vara den mest spännande. Med både allvar och humor ges en bild av hur det var att växa upp i en svensk frikyrkomiljö på 50- och 60-talen. Här berättas också dramatiska upplevelser från tio år av bibelsmuggling i Östeuropa och Sovjet då den kommunistiska järnridån fortfarande gick genom Europa. Erfarenheter och lärdomar från kulturmöten är en viktig del av boken. Roland och Lena har bott och arbetat i fyra afrikanska länder, Liberia, Burundi, Tanzania och Kamerun. I mellanperioderna har Roland ansvarat för missionskurser på två olika folkhögskolor i Sverige och lett många långa resor med elever till Indien, Bangladesh och Östafrika. De var inspirerande upplevelser. Men ibland kunde sanslösa saker hända. Missionskurserna i Tanzania och Uganda har haft deltagare från Sverige, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Kenya, Etiopien, Zambia och Burundi.

<p>'An entertaining first-hand account of pure rock 'n' roll madness.' <i>The Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/>'Hundreds of exclusive photos and brilliant one-liners make for a sensational read.' <i>the Sun</i><br/><br/>'We are the biggest band in Britain of all time, ever. The funny thing is, all that fucking mouthing off three years ago about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world - we actually went and did it.' Noel Gallagher<br/><br/>Oasis are one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. Here, in <i>Supersonic, </i>they tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.<br/><br/>With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.</p>

Trots att vara Autodidaktisk har han inte tappad mod att skriva vidare.
