Armenia er et spennende reisemål som er relativt ukjent for mange nordmenn. Jeg forelsket med hodestups i dette lille fjellandet i 2015 og har etter det reist Armenia på kryss og tvers to til tre ganger i året. Stikkord er gjestfrihet, vakker og variert natur, arkitektoniske perler, byliv helt utenom det vanlige, nydelig vin, mat du aldri har smakt før og ikke minst en lang, spennende og til tider grusom historie. Armenia er kåret til Årets Reisemål av Lonely Planet - 2025. Det er ikke uten grunn.
Mennesker som har besøkt Armenia vender som oftest tilbake.
I boken forteller jeg om mine opplevelser i Armenia. Dere får mange ideer og mange tips til opplevelser helt utenom det vanlige, men jeg forteller mer enn gjerne også om de mer vanlige attraksjonene som de fleste som reiser dit får med seg.
Jeg deler min kjærlighet til dette landet, dette folket og språket de snakker.
Jeg forteller om alt fra kirkebesøk, via vinfestivaler som alltid ender med for mye vin, om å ta noen sjaner her i livet og om å tøye grenser for rett og slett å oppleve noe helt utenom det vanlige. Boken er full av glede og humor, men man kan ikke unngå å komme innpå de mer alvorlige utfordringene som har rammet, og som den dag i dag rammer Armenia.

1000 års gleder og sorger er de etterlengtede memoarene fra en av verdens viktigste levende kunstnere.

Ai Weiweis skulpturer og installasjoner har blitt sett av millioner over hele verden, og hans politiske aktivisme har lenge gjort ham til et mål for kinesiske myndigheter.

I sine memoarer gir Ai Weiwei oss et portrett av Kina fra de siste hundre år, samtidig som han belyser sin kunstneriske prosess. Det er også historien om hans far, Ai Qing, en gang nær venn av Mao Zedong, og en av Kinas mest innflytelsesrike diktere. Under kulturrevolusjonen ble Ai Qing stemplet som dissident og dømt til straffarbeid. Hele familien, inkludert sønnen, ble forvist til en avsidesliggende og øde del av landet kjent som "Lille Sibir".

Ai Weiwei beskriver barndommen i eksil og den vanskelige beslutningen om å forlate familien for å studere kunst i Amerika, hvor han ble venn med Allen Ginsberg og ble inspirert av Marcel Duchamp og Andy Warhol. Og han forteller om sin retur til Kina og veien fra ukjent kunstner til kunstverdenens superstjerne og internasjonal menneskerettighetsaktivist – og hvordan hans arbeid har blitt formet ved å leve under et totalitært regime.

1000 års gleder og sorger gir en dyp forståelse av de utallige kreftene som har formet det moderne Kina og tjener som en påminnelse om det presserende behovet for å beskytte ytringsfriheten.

Often called the ‘Heart of the Midlands’, Nottingham has given the world Robin Hood, Raleigh bikes, John Player cigarettes and Boots the chemists - and it was here that Ibuprofen first saw the light of a petri dish to the benefit of a million hangovers. As if that wasn’t enough, Alan Sillitoe and D. H.

Lawrence went to school here, Lord Byron’s ancestral pile is just on the city’s outskirts, and it was here that King Charles I raised his battle standard at the start of the English Civil War – though precious few rallied to the cause. Local heroes include the cantankerous Brian Clough, who led Nottingham Forest Football Club to a pair of European Cups, the fast bowler Harold Larwood, who famously bowled Donald Bradman during the Body Line Ashes of the 1930s, and the charismatic William Booth, who founded a worldwide movement, the Salvation Army. Despite all this and much more, Nottingham wears its charms lightly, avoiding the tourist crowds, but this fascinating city has much to offer – and we have selected 111 Places to intrigue, amuse and illuminate.
