I maj 2015 är det 70 år sedan andra världskriget tog slut. Under hela kriget skriver Astrid Lindgren dagbok där hon berättar om vardagen i Stockholm, om det som händer i världen och om Sveriges agerande under kriget. Astrid Lindgrens krigsdagböcker är en mycket personlig skildring av hur dramatiska världshändelser påverkar oss alla. Texten är laddad med stor sorg och förfäran. Det här är före Astrid Lindgrens tid som världsberömd författare; den första boken om Pippi Långstrump kommer ut samma år som kriget slutar, 1945.
Blandat med Astrid Lindgrens egna anteckningar innehåller dagböckerna mängder av utklippta artiklar ur svenska tidningar som hon kommenterar. I boken återfinns över 70 faksimilbilder av dagboksuppslagen och många hittills opublicerade familjebilder från krigsåren. Författaren Kerstin Ekman, som kände Astrid Lindgren, skriver förord och Astrids dotter, Karin Nyman, skriver efterord. Totalt är det 17 dagböcker som kommer ut i bokform. Astrid Lindgren är ständigt aktuell och en daglig referenspunkt i samhällsdebatten. Hennes böcker är en omistlig del av vårt kulturarv och når oavbrutet nya läsare och får nya betydelser runt om i världen. Vad många inte vet är att hon var en tidig anti-nazist och att hon genom hela sitt liv kämpade mot krig och våld. Hon var en övertygad humanist och en människa som tänkte själv, stod för sina åsikter med såväl civilkurage som humor och kärlek.
I maj 2015 släpps Astrid Lindgrens krigsdagböcker så som hon skrev dem. Ett unikt dokument från en vanlig människa och en av världens mest kända svenskar. Views: 1 139
The magnificent Aztec empire has fallen beneath the brutal heal of the Spaniards. But one proud Aztec, Tenamaxtli, refuses to bow to his despised conquerors. He dreams of restoring the lost glory of the Aztec empire, and recruits an army of rebels to mount an insurrection against the seemingly invincible power of mighty Spain.
Tenamaxtli's courageous quest takes us through high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, bitter tragedy, and the essence of 16th century Mexico. This incredible rebellion has been little remembered, perhaps because it shed no glory on the men who would write the history book, but on its outcome depended the future of all North America. Aztec Autumn recreates this forgotten chapter of history in all its splendor and unforgettable passion. Views: 1 137
