Voices - Le Guin Ursula K. Le Guin - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

In this second novel in the Annals of the Western Shore trilogy, Ursula K. Le Guin brings readers a haunting and gripping coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of violence, intolerance, and magic. Ansul was once a peaceful town filled with libraries, schools, and temples. But that was long ago, and the conquerors of this coastal city consider reading and writing to be acts punishable by death. And they believe the Oracle House, where the last few undestroyed books are hidden, is seething with demons. But to seventeen-year-old Memer, the house is a refuge, a place of family and learning, ritual and memory—the only place where she feels truly safe. Then an Uplands poet named Orrec and his wife, Gry, arrive, and everything in Memer''s life begins to change. Will she and the people of Ansul at last be brave enough to rebel against their oppressors? Voices is a novel that readers will not soon forget. “Le Guin''s crystalline prose and her ability to dramatise political and spiritual issues of our time are unequalled.” —Amanda Craig, London Times “As always, Le Guin''s language is as airy and sensuous as her concerns are weighty and abstract, every sentence as precise as a spade cut.” —Elizabeth Ward, The Washington Post “ Barbarians-versus-brainiacs may be well-trod turf, but Le Guin sure-footedly makes it new. She creates a protagonist with obvious appeal to her intended audience: a geeky girl with bad hair but a quick intelligence, who nurses a seething contempt for the illiterate thugs who run everything." —Anne Boles Levy, Los Angeles Times The Annals of the Western Shore Trilogy includes: - Gifts - Voices - Powers

Taking le Tiss - Matt Le Tissier - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Taking le Tiss - Matt Le Tissier - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The fascinating, insightful and at times hilarious memoirs of one of the most gifted and enigmatic British footballers of the last 25 years.Nicknamed "Le God" by the Southampton faithful, Matt Le Tissier was not cast from the same mould as 99% of other professional footballers. A real "one-off" if every there was one, he was a one-club man in a 16-year career that brought little in the way of trophies but countless plaudits from footballs fans and commentators alike.To the old school brigade he was a "luxury player", someone with a less than ideal work rate and waistline who simply wouldn''t conform to the blueprint of a typically hard-working, unsophisticated British player. Terry Venables and Glenn Hoddle found it all too easy to leave him out of their England squads.But to the vast majority Le Tissier was a maverick to be treasured, a flair player who lit up every match he played in and delighted fans with his sumptuous technique and élan for the beautiful game. In fact, the kind of skilful, inventive player and scorer of wonderful goals this country produces all too rarely.Did he simply enjoy the comfort zone of being a big fish in a small pond? Or did he display commendable loyalty in staying with Southampton for his entire career? Did he shun opportunities to move on? Were England managers right not to pick him so many times? Would Fabio Capello pick him for England now? Does the British game discourage his style of play? And how much would he be worth in today''s transfer market?Taking Le Tiss is the great man''s first chance to answer all these questions and many more. It is also a delightfully self-deprecating and witty story from a player who was more of a Big-Mac-and-fries than a chicken-and-beans man.

Rumhejren - Ursula K. Le Guin - Bog - Tredje september - Plusbog.dk

Rumhejren - Ursula K. Le Guin - Bog - Tredje september - Plusbog.dk

Ursula K. Le Guins essay "Rumhejren" om overgangsalderen og de tabuer, der klistrer til den, fremstår lige så relevant i dag, som da det udkom i 1976. I sin særegne kombination af humor, polemik, varme og fortælling kredser Le Guin om emnet, og former en tekst, der er lige så klog og belæst, som den er legesyg. Midt i alt dette træder et livsperspektiv frem, som ofte overses: det gamle menneskes. Le Guin insisterer på skønheden, visdommen og styrken i en livsfase, der har et dårligt ry: livet efter fertiliteten. En livsfase, som alle kvinder bevæger sig mod – og som alle andre køn også oplever. Le Guin lærer os at lede efter svar de steder, vi er mindst tilbøjelige til at kigge. Det er med andre ord næsten 50 år for sent, at Le Guins slagfærdige essay nu endelig foreligger på dansk i en indlevende oversættelse af forfatter Ursula Andkjær Olsen og antropolog Line Dalsgård. Oversætterne har suppleret essayet med et betydeligt følgeord, en mailkorrespondance, hvor de kredser om deres egne, levede erfaringer med overgangsalder, køn, kvindelighed, socialitet, samfund, litteratur, venskab – og ikke mindst, Le Guins essay "Rumhejren".
