Against Charity - Daniel Raventos - Bog - AK Press - Plusbog.dk

Charity is not a gift. Gift-giving implies reciprocity, an ongoing relationship. When requital is impossible, the act of giving remains outside mutual ties and charity becomes yet another manifestation of class structure, a sterile one-way act upholding the status quo. Hoovering up all the profits thanks to a weak labour movement, lower taxes, and tax havens, the global elite then turn around and remake the world in their own image with charitable donations that speak more of mean-spiritedness than generosity.

The Sleepwalkers - Arthur Koestler - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Arthur Koestler''s extraordinary history of humanity''s changing vision of the universe In this masterly synthesis, Arthur Koestler cuts through the sterile distinction between ''sciences'' and ''humanities'' to bring to life the whole history of cosmology from the Babylonians to Newton.

Unhitched - Sunny Joy Mcmillan - Bog - Morgan James Publishing llc - Plusbog.dk

Unhitched: Unlock Your Courage and Clarity and Unstick Your Bad Marriage is a heart-centered, yet practical guide for helping women in unhappy marriages answer the question of whether to stay or go. Unhitched tracks Sunny Joy McMillan’s own journey, from once living a seemingly perfect life on paper but really hiding an unhappy and high-conflict marriage, all the way to a loving, post-divorce friendship with her ex-husband. Demonstrated through both her own story and case studies from her clients, Sunny’s guide outlines a clear process for answering the question of whether to stay or go, shows women how to get divorced gracefully should they decide to leave, and tells women how to create a better, new life. Unhitched provides women with the clarity to make the right decisions for their marriage, courage to take the right action, and confidence that their life can be better on the other side. Although this guide is practical and includes many tangible exercises and tools, it is unlike similarly-themed guides in that it takes a less sterile and more heart-centered, spiritually-based approach to making tough decisions and taking tough action in a marriage.

No Obvious Distress - Amanda Quaid - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''Striking, surprising, and technically excellent, the poems resonate way beyond their endings'' Roger Robinson ''Deft, daring, devastating and delightful'' Pádraig Ó Tuama ''Astonishing. These poems glimmer with a white-hot beauty that is hard won, and that sings'' Sarah Ruhl Patient is a normal appearing woman in no obvious distress. On an ordinary day, out with her three-year-old in the park, Amanda Quaid received a life-changing call - the back pain she had been living with for years was actually a rare and aggressive form of cancer. In an instant, life became a series of sterile rooms, medical charts and body-altering treatments which completely upend Amanda''s marriage, work and family life as she knows it.Poetry became a lifeline for Amanda, a form to organize the chaos and pain of day-to-day life into order and beauty. In inventive and arresting poems that explore desire, marriage, motherhood and mortality, No Obvious Distress is a powerful memoir-in-verse about Amanda''s unique experience. But it is also a tender, witty and universal collection that asks how we can continue to live and love in times of uncertainty.

The Green Muse - Jessie Prichard Hunter - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Belle Époque Paris, the morgue is the place to see and be seen … "This morning I was called upon to photograph the dead again." So begins the story of Edouard Mas, a photographer's assistant with a detective's soul. Edouard's job is to take pictures of corpses before they are carted off to the Paris Morgue. If the bodies are unidentified, they will be put behind glass for the whole city to view, in a morbid display of lost and found. Edouard begins to come across more and more bodies stripped of their identification and laid out in methodical poses, and he knows he is dealing with those who dabble in art—the art of death. The morgue—their museum. Edouard's investigation takes him from the sterile halls of La Salpêtrière to the opulent, smoke-filled soirees of high society, but he must do everything in his power to stop the artists of death, before they go after somebody he loves … In exquisite prose—so vivid you can almost taste the absinthe and hear the rustling skirts of the Moulin Rouge showgirls—Hunter tells an unforgettable tale of murder and lust in the City of Light.

Elizabeth Costello - J. M. Coetzee - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Elizabeth Costello is an Australian writer of international renown. Famous principally for an early novel that established her reputation, she has reached the stage where her remaining function is to be venerated and applauded. Her life has become a series of engagements in sterile conference rooms throughout the world - a private consciousness obliged to reveal itself to a curious public: the presentation of a major award at an American college where she is required to deliver a lecture; a sojourn as the writer in residence on a cruise liner; a visit to her sister, a missionary in Africa, who is receiving an honorary degree, an occasion which both recognise as the final opportunity for effecting some form of reconciliation; and a disquieting appearance at a writers'' conference in Amsterdam where she finds the subject of her talk unexpectedly amongst the audience. She has made her life''s work the study of other people yet now it is she who is the object of scrutiny. But, for her, what matters is the continuing search for a means of articulating her vision and the verdict of future generations.
