Memoarer & Biografier

Det blir en världsnyhet när Stefan Eriksson i 345 km/tim kraschar sin Ferrari Enzo mot en elstolpe i Malibu. Bilen klyvs på mitten - Stefan kliver ur vraket barfota med en sprucken läpp. Plötsligt känner hela världen till den svenske maffialedaren "Tjock-Steffe" och en makalös livshistoria rullas upp. <br/><br/>Om den lilla grabben på knattecrossen i Uppsala som blev en av grundarna till IT-fenomenet och miljardföretaget Gizmondo, uppfyllde pojkdrömmen att köra 24-timmarsloppet i Le Mans, svors in som polis i USA och blev vän med knarkkungen Pablo Escobar. <br/><br/>Bakom den glittrande fasaden döljer sig en komplex man, präglad av ett sökande efter det som inte går att köpa för pengar. I denna fängslande självbiografi berättar Stefan Eriksson för första gången hela den osminkade sanningen om det som hänt. <br/><br/>Det blir en resa genom ett liv fyllt av extrema höjder och djupa dalar. En värld av maktspel, förräderi och en komplex inre kamp. Det är en berättelse som utforskar de psykologiska djupen hos en man som alltid har strävat efter mer, men som i grunden söker något enklare: en plats att kalla sitt hem.

<b>The extraordinarily powerful and unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who stood up and spoke out about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell</b><br/><br/>The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words-until now.<br/><br/>In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody's Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.<br/><br/>Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell's grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The narrative of Nobody's Girl preserve her voice-and her legacy-forever.<br/><br/>Nobody's Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre's unshakable will-first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.

Nobody's Girl [Bok / Inbunden]

<strong>The long-awaited memoir by Cameron Crowe-one of America's most iconic journalists and filmmakers-revealing his formative years in rock and roll and bringing to life stories that shaped a generation, in the bestselling tradition of Patti Smith's <em>Just Kids</em>. If you've seen <em>Almost Famous</em>, you may think you know this story, but you don't.</strong> <br/><br/>'His clarity of observation and memory, his choice words, his people - Cameron Crowe, wonderfully, continues to serve us' <strong>WES ANDERSON</strong> <br/><br/>Cameron Crowe was an unlikely rock and roll insider. Born in 1957 to parents who strictly banned the genre from their house, he dove headfirst into the world of music. By the time he graduated high school at fifteen, Crowe was contributing to <em>Rolling Stone</em>. His parents became believers, uneasily allowing him to interview and tour with legends like Led Zeppelin; Lynyrd Skynyrd; Bob Dylan; Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young; and Fleetwood Mac. <br/><br/>Crowe spends his teens politely turning down the drugs and turning on his tape recorder. He talks his journalism teacher into giving him class credit for his road trip covering Led Zeppelin's 1975 tour. He earns the trust of icons like Gregg Allman and Joni Mitchell who had sworn to never again speak to <em>Rolling Stone</em>. He embeds with David Bowie as the sequestered genius transforms himself into a new persona: <em>The Thin White Duke.</em> Why did Bowie give Crowe such unprecedented access? 'Because you're young enough to be honest,' Bowie tells him. <br/><br/>This intimate family drama charts the path that leads Crowe to writing and directing some of the most beloved films of the past forty years, from <em>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</em> and <em>Say Anything</em> to <em>Jerry Maguire</em> and <em>Almost Famous</em>. With its vivid snapshots of a bygone era and a celebration of creativity and connection, <em>The Uncool</em> is an essential read for music lovers or anyone chasing their wildest dreams.

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg--<i>Back to the Future</i>. Sitcom during the day, movie at night--day after day, for months.<br/><br/>Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<br/><br/>In <i>Future Boy</i>, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time--a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

Detta är en självbiografisk berättelse om Jasna en ung flicka som saknar ord för att uttrycka sin rädsla över att vara ensam hemma med sin far. Hon växer upp i en destruktiv familjedynamik som på ytan verkar normal. Utåt betraktas fadern som en kompetent man, och de som anar något väljer att tona ner det. I stället är det Jasnas kropp som visar att allt inte står rätt till men ingen förmår tyda signalerna. <br/><br/>En dag ser Jasna en kvinna på teve. Till sin förvåning känner hon igen sig i kvinnans ord, trots att hon befinner sig på andra sidan jordklotet. Jasna bestämmer sig för att minnas hennes ansikte och mot alla odds kommer deras vägar att korsas i framtiden. <br/><br/>Berättelsen är både aktuell och tidlös. Den visar hur känslomässiga band till omsorgspersoner kan påverka barn långt in i vuxenlivet. Här synliggörs olika former av övergrepp mot barn och hur det outsagda påverkar individen, familjen och syskonrelationerna. Samtidigt är det en berättelse om mod, beslutsamhet och styrka om att förstå, bearbeta och till slut våga bryta tystnaden. <br/><br/>Första delen utspelar sig i det forna Jugoslavien, vilket ger berättelsen en stark historisk förankring.
