''Loveday''s case is that the mantle of historical truth and divine authority has placed upon the Bible an intolerable weight, crushing it as a creative work of immense imaginative and inspirational power. His argument is both fascinating and persuasive.'' Matthew ParrisThe Bible for Grown-Ups neither requires, nor rejects, belief. It sets out to help intelligent adults make sense of the Bible - a book that is too large to swallow whole, yet too important in our history and culture to spit out.Why do the creation stories in Genesis contradict each other? Did the Exodus really happen? Was King David a historical figure? Why is Matthew''s account of the birth of Jesus so different from Luke''s? Why was St Paul so rude about St Peter? Every Biblical author wrote for their own time, and their own audience. In short, nothing in the Bible is quite what it seems.Literary critic Simon Loveday''s book - a labour of love that has taken over a decade to write - is a thrilling read, for Christians and anyone else, which will overturn everything you thought you knew about the Good Book.

Anna was born in Rome to Liberian parents, hailing from the Kpelle people -- among the first to leave their native lands for Europe.

Marcus Rediker uncovers the extraordinary human drama that played out on this world-changing vessel. Drawing on thirty years of maritime research, he demonstrates the truth of W.E.B DuBois''s observation: the slave trade was the most magnificent drama in the last thousand years of human history. The Slave Ship focuses on the so-called golden age of the slave trade, the period of 1700-1808, when more than six million people were transported out of Africa, most of them on British and American ships, across the Atlantic, to slave on New World plantations. Marcus Rediker tells poignant tales of life, death and terror as he captures the shipboard drama of brutal discipline and fierce resistance. He reconstructs the lives of individuals, such as John Newton, James Field Stanfield and Olaudah Equiano, and the collective experience of captains, sailors and slaves. Mindful of the haunting legacies of race, class and slavery, Marcus Rediker offers a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the ghost ship of our modern consciousness.

Elektronická kniha - autor Matias Faldbakken, 232 stran, slovensky Reštaurácia The Hills v Osle má charakter. Pochádza zo starosvetských čias, v polovici 19. storočia ju založil Angličan Hill. Všetko o nej a jej návštevníkoch sa dozvieme z rozprávania čašníka, záhadnej postavy, ktorá však o sebe a svojom živote neprezradí vôbec nič. Nevieme dokonca ani to, ako sa volá. Je akýmsi ironizujúcim a mizantropickým prostredníkom, cez ktorého má čitateľ možnosť dôkladne sa oboznámiť s interiérom a s charaktermi jednotlivých „postavičiek“: so štamgastom Grahamom – známym aj pod prezývkou Prasa, vždy obklopeným decentným hlúčikom estétov; s o čosi temperamentnejšou skupinou okolo Toma Sellersa či jediným čašníkovým priateľom Edgarom aj jeho dcérou Annou. V tomto trochu ošumelom mikrosvete sa udržuje idea starej Európy. Panuje tu osvedčený poriadok, všetko má svoje miesto a zvonka sem prenikne len sotvačo. A presne tak to čašníkovi vyhovuje. Hrozba nepokoja a zmeny sa...

Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year 2016They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned.Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable.In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a people''s struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.
