Inspirasjon og fakta

Imagine what the world once looked like as you discover places that have disappeared from modern atlases in this stunningly illustrated and award-winning book. Have you ever wondered about cities that lie forgotten under the dust of newly settled land? Rivers and seas whose changing shape has shifted the landscape around them? Or, even, places that have seemingly vanished, without a trace? 

Following the international bestselling success of Atlas of Improbable Places and Atlas of the Unexpected, Travis Elborough takes you on a voyage to all corners of the world in search of the lost, disappearing and vanished. Discover ancient seats of power and long-forgotten civilizations through the Mayan city of Palenque; delve into the mystery of a disappeared Japanese islet; and uncover the incredible hidden sites like the submerged Old Adaminaby, once abandoned but slowly remerging.

With beautiful maps and stunning colour photography, Atlas of Vanishing Places shows these places as they once were as well as how they look today: a fascinating guide to lost lands and the fragility of our relationship with the world around us.

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Spain, Basque Country not only boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than any other region in the world, but its unique confluence of mountain and sea, values and tradition, informs every bite of its soulful cuisine, from pintxos to accompany a glass of wine to the elbows-on-the-table meals served in its legendary eating clubs. Yet Basque Country is more than a little inaccessible—shielded by a unique language and a distinct culture, it’s an enigma to most outsiders. Until now.

Marti Buckley, an American chef, journalist, and passionate Basque transplant, unlocks the mysteries of this culinary world by bringing together its intensely ingredient-driven recipes with stories of Basque customs and the Basque kitchen, and vivid photographs of both food and place. And surprise: this is food we both want to eat and can easily make. It’s not about exotic ingredients or flashy techniques.

It’s about mind-set—how to start with that just-right fish or cut of meat or peak-of-ripeness tomato and coax forth its inherent depth of flavor. It’s the marriage of simplicity and refinement, and the joy of cooking for family and friends.

Då den karismatiske Evo Morales vann presidentvalet i Bolivia i 2005, vekte det internasjonal oppsikt. Med radikale reformer skulle det sosialistiske partiet Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) ta eit oppgjer med 500 år kolonialisme.

Sidan den gong har fattigdomen blitt halvert, og ein velferdsstat har sett dagens ljos. Men då Morales i 2020 stilte til val for tredje gong, i strid med grunnlova, blei det bråk. Høgresida kuppa makta, og det vart kampar i gatene. Etter eit år med uro, vart det endelig halde eit nytt, demokratisk val. Med ein ny presidentkandidat vann MAS makta tilbake.

Latin-Amerika-kjennaren Heidi Lundeberg gir oss historia om dei mange omveltingane Bolivia har gått gjennom. Me får møte Martha, som har fått stipend for å bli lege, Rosmery, som har fått innlagt vatn og straum, og Alberto, som har fått lønna si femdobla sidan MAS kom til makta.

No står Bolivia igjen ved eit vegskilje. Vil sosialistregjeringa lykkast med å redusere ulikskapane samstundes som dei møter forventingane til ei veksande middelklasse? Vil forsøket på industrireising lykkast? Og er det i Andes me kan finne inspirasjon til ei grønare og meir rettvis framtid?

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.

Knut Olav Åmås er en av Norges fineste og mest velformulerte kommentatorer. Ofte ser han fenomener i samfunn, politikk, kultur og medier som få andre skriver om – og tidvis oppdager han nye tendenser tidligere enn de fleste. Med stor kunnskap og klare, reflekterte holdninger har han fått mange lesere, særlig gjennom mer enn et tiår i Aftenpostens spalter. Hans tekster har ofte litterær verdi.

Åmås slår ikke leserne i hodet med bastante meninger, men lar dem tenke med og tenke selv. Han er uforutsigbar og åpen av holdning. Likevel finnes det klare linjer og sammenhenger over tid, enten temaene er kunnskap og mentaliteter som preger samfunnet, utviklingstrekk i bygd og by i Norge, ytringsfrihet og politikk, journalistikk og medier – eller livet, rett og slett.

Dette er Norge inneholder 100 av Knut Olav Åmås' mest leseverdige tilstandsrapporter, kritiske øyeblikksanalyser, tolkninger og forslag. Til sammen utgjør de et mangefasettert portrett av Norge i dag, av hvem vi er og ønsker å være.
