    Verdichting en Waarheid [AMBO KLASSIEK]

    Forse hardcover, in zwart linnen gebonden met stofomslag. De omslag in nog compleet onverkleurd (nog mooi rood), maar heeft aan de bovenkant wel ietsjes rafeltjes (maar geen scheurtjes). Dit exemplaar is tweedehands en in goede staat, met leeslint. Geen naam of aantekeningen in het boek. Vertaling van 'Aus meinem Leben. Verdichtung und Wahrheit' door E. Tjallinks, die tevens de toelichting schreef.

    De autobiografie van Johann Wolfgang Goethe is een laat 'achttiende'-eeuws werk van een verrassende actualiteit. Te midden van de toenmalige Duitse burgercultuur ontwikkelt zich een ideeënwereld die ten grondslag ligt aan onze westerse cultuur. Vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap stonden ook bij Goethe hoog in het vaandel, maar tegelijk behoudt hij oog voor de waarden van het verleden, acht dit zelfs noodzakelijk voor een optimale ontwikkeling van individu en samenleving. Hij bestrijdt de dogmatiek, het eenzijdig streven.
    In dit boek worden de sluiers van twee eeuwen over onze democratische, westerse culturele waarden weggenomen en worden hiervan de oorspronkelijke, frisse kleuren weer zichtbaar. Hier en daar blijkt Goethe een psycholoog avant la lettre te zijn. Ook verdiept hij zich in de wisselwerking tussen publiek en medium, met inzichten die de moderne communicatiewetenschap nog steeds huldigt. Uitermate boeiend en monumentaal geschreven zijn onder meer de passages over de strijd tussen goed en kwaad, over Goethes pantheïstische sympathieën, over Ahasverus, de wandelende jood, en over wat hij noemt 'het demonische' in iemands levensloop. Verder vallen zijn levendige, uitermate treffende persoonsbeschrijvingen op. En Goethe ontbloot zonder schroom zijn liefdesleven.

    Life

    Life

    Engelstalige uitgave. Gebonden met stofomslag, in zeer goede staat 

    About the Book : - With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock and roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done.

    Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records as a child in post-war Kent. Learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones` first fame and success as a bad-boy band. The notorious Redlands drug bust and subsequent series of confrontations with a nervous establishment that led to his enduring image as outlaw and folk hero. Creating immortal riffs such as the ones in `Jumping Jack Flash` and `Street Fighting Man` and `Honky Tonk Women`. Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the US, `Exile on Main Street` and `Some Girls`. Ever increasing fame, isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Mick Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Solo albums and performances with his band the Xpensive Winos. Marriage, family and the road that goes on for ever.

    In a voice that is uniquely and intimately his own, with the disarming honesty that has always been his trademark, Keith Richards brings us the essential life story of our times.

    Once-in-a-generation memoir of a rock legend.

    My Beloved World

    My Beloved World

    Dikke hardback in zeer goede staat. Stofomslag. Engelstalig. Geillustreerd.

    The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

    Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself.  She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery.
