View Rights PortalBeeindruckend: Entdecken Sie Astrid Lindgren, die Verlegerin So leicht, wie sich ihre Kinderbücher lesen, so arbeitsreich war ihr Leben: In diesem spannenden Buch erzählt Kjell Bohlund, ehemaliger Verleger des schwedischen Kinderbuchverlags Rabén & Sjögren, in dem die Werke Astrid Lindgrens bis heute erscheinen, von den unbekannten Seiten der großen Autorin. Denn während sie morgens an ihren eigenen Geschichten schrieb, war die "Pippi Langstrumpf"-Autorin am Nachmittag Verlegerin und Lektorin, reiste durchs Land, traf sich mit Buchhändlern, Autoren, Illustratoren oder Journalisten und rettete ihren Verlag aus einer Krise. Eine Astrid Lindgren, die wir bislang so nicht kannten. Spannende Einblicke in das Leben der großen Autorin. Persönlich, unterhaltsam, überraschend. Geschrieben von Kjell Bohlund, einem Kenner der schwedischen Verlagsszene. Reich bebildert und kurzweilig erzählt.
The situation in our society is precarious. The ecological shocks are omnipresent. The mere continuation of our lifestyles fixated on expansion and self-development has long since reached its limits. As if intoxicated by ourselves, we consume our world voraciously and without restraint. We need moderation and frugality that lead us out of the ecological and social dead ends and hold both the individual and Politics to account. We are by no means powerless and are perfectly capable of leading a life that offers prospects for a humane future. However, our idea of freedom needs urgent correction. For this endeavour to succeed, we need the courage to face reality and the willingness, in a spirit of solidarity, to say goodbye to a false life and join the alliance of renunciation and freedom. Then we will be free – differently and better.
The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.
