Allerede da de russiske troppene begynte å samle seg ved Ukrainas østgrense begynte Andrej Kurkov - Ukrainas kanskje viktigste romanforfatter - å skrive på denne boken. Fra dag til dag følger vi hendelsene fra bakkeplan i Kyiv -senere gjennom flukt og forflytting lengre vest i landet. Kurkov, som selv er russiskspråklig, kobler skildringer av små og store hendelser i krigshverdagen med politiske og kulturelle analyser på en innsiktsfull, brennende engasjert og uhyre velskrevet måte. Boken er et nødvendig tilskudd for bedre å forstå krigen og bakgrunnen for den.

Tre liv fortalt på grunnlag av meditasjoner.

De Østerlands vise menn. Boken forteller om de tre stjernetyderne, som var de første til å besøke det nyfødte Jesusbarnet i Betlehem. Vi følger hver av dem fra ungdomstiden og helt til sin død.

Hvem var de? Hvor kom de fra? Hvorfor ga de røkelse, myrra og gull? Hva gjorde de etterpå? Hvordan prøvde de å forandre historien?

I bokens annen del presenteres oldtidens Meopotamia, Persia og Egypt. Kristi fødsel settes i sammenheng med Østens mysterier og Mithras-dyrkelsen. Boken motsier en rekke vante forestillinger om hendelsene rundt Kristi fødsel, og den viser ukjente detaljer og sammenhenger. Her kan vi dykke dypt ned i kulturer vi ellers kjenner lite til.

To kart gir en geografisk ramme, og en rekke illustrasjoner bringer oss til landene ved Tigris og Øvre Nilen for 2000 år siden

Boken er et nybrottsarbeid som prøver å forene to sjangere: nøktern historieskrivning og livaktig fortellinger på grunnlag av meditasjoner og visjoner.

Planlegger du togferie?

Ferie med tog gir deg en super innføring i hvordan du enkelt kan velge tog som fremkomstmiddel til din neste ferie. Planlegger du din neste ferietur langs togskinner i Norge, Norden eller i resten av Europa?

Da er Ferie med tog - Reiseglede langs skinnene boka for deg! Boka er full av praktiske tips og inspirerende turforslag og er skrevet av Sigrid Elsrud som står bak den populære togbloggen.no.

Finn et nytt sted, og gi det en sjanse! Ofte kan en tilfeldig valgt prikk på kartet vise seg å være en perle, men vi må ta oss tid til å gå av toget for å oppleve den, er Elsruds oppfordring.

Å bruke tog som fremkomstmiddel på ferieturen er mer populært enn noen gang før. Ikke først og fremst på grunn av tung markedsføring eller politiske vedtak. Snarere tvert imot. Trenden har kommet nedenfra, fra folk som selv har brettet ut kartet, funnet reiseruter langs bakken – og som gjør det igjen og igjen.

I vår felles norske bevissthet har nok lange togreiser fortsatt liten plass. Kanskje fordi feriereiser med tog krever litt mer planlegging på forhånd? Feriereiser med tog er ikke alltid så tilrettelagt som andre reiser og ferieformer. Når reisene ikke ligger som ferdige tilbud foran oss, kan det være lett å glemme at de finnes. Mange tenker ofte på kronglete billettsystemer og dårlig togtilbud mellom Norge og resten av Europa som de største barrierene for en togferie

Men det krever ikke så mye som mange kanskje tror.
Og med den nye boken til Sigrid Elsrud får du super hjelp på veien mot din neste ferie på skinnene.

Elsrud gir blant annet en rekke konkrete og spennende tips til enkle togferier og gode reiseruter, hun forteller om bra nettsider og gode reisebyrå, hun lærer deg å finne frem på europakartet selv, gir nyttige råd for alt fra bagasje til togbilletter i Europa og lærer deg hvordan du kan bli kjent med verktøy og tjenester som kan hjelpe på reisen.

I Ferie med tog finner du veldig mye nyttig innhold når du skal planlegge togferie, blant annet disse kapitlene:

• Råd om bagasjen 
• Tre enkle togferier
• Fem gode råd for nybegynneren
• Interrail - eller ikke interrail?
• Finland – på skinner mellom tusen sjøer
• Mjøsa – en ferieperle i Innlandet
• Ljubljana – den perfekte byen for en togferie
• Milano – mellom Alpene og Middelhavet
• Spania – togreisen gir oss Europa med på kjøpet
