This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent-the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls "e;a book to break your heart and heal it,"e; The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui's journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.

  • av Dave Mustaine
    151

    Former Metallica guitarist and founding member of Megadeth Dave Mustaine talks for the first time about his life in rock 'n' roll, finally telling the inside story of two of the most influential heavy metal bands in the world.Here, for the first time ever, Dave Mustaine tells the tale of two of the biggest metal bands in history; a story yet to be told from the inside. A pioneer of the thrash metal movement, Metallica rose to international fame in the 1980s, selling over 90 million records worldwide, making them the most successful thrash metal band ever. And Megadeth - the second most successful thrash metal band ever - have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, including six consecutive platinum albums.But despite their enormous success together, Dave and Metallica have had some bad blood. In April of 1983, partly due to alcoholism and partly due to personality clashes with founding members Hetfield and Ulrich, he was fired from the band and unceremoniously dropped off at a Greyhound station in Rochester, NY with a ticket back to LA. Now he will finally tell his side of the story.From the early, crazy days of Metallica, to his split with the band to ruling over Megadeth, Dave has seen and experienced it all. And now he's telling it all in his startlingly candid, in-your-face memoir.

  • av Neil Woods
    191

    'Undercover, you're never just acting; you're only ever a different version of yourself.'Neil Woods spent fourteen years (1993-2007) infiltrating drug gangs as an undercover policeman, befriending and gaining the trust of some of the most violent, unpredictable criminals in Britain. But Neil was never your stereotypical gung-ho, tough-guy copper. This is the story of how a thoughtful, idealistic character learned to use his empathetic nature to master some of the roughest, most dangerous work in law enforcement. There was no training, no manual and no plan for when things went wrong; he was just dropped at a corner and told to make connections. But, inevitably, having swords thrust against his jugular, witnessing beatings, stabbings, and gangsters burning suspected rats with acid took its toll.Drawing on Neil s experiences, with the insight that can only come from having fought on the front lines, GOOD COP, BAD WAR is at once a narrative-driven true crime read and a fascinating story of a character under pressure.

Intresset för biografier

Sitter du också och undrar varför vi läser biografier? Biografier är en av de mest attraktiva genrerna att läsa 2021, eftersom läsarna får en ännu större inblick i huvudpersonens tidigare liv än de redan hade. Detta kan vara allt från biografier av musiker till biografier av företagsledare. På grund av teknikutvecklingen har vi idag stor tillgång till att följa andras privata och offentliga liv, medan de helt personliga frågorna förblir hållna till de nära. Genrens unika egenskaper gör det därför möjligt att följa huvudpersonen väldigt nära och få insikt och förståelse för de handlingar de gjort och vilka situationer de mött.

Det stora intresset för biografiböcker har alltså sin grund i att mottagaren kan läsa om andras upp- och nedgångar de mött i sina liv, samt vilka överväganden och spekulationer de har haft. Det är särskilt intressant eftersom det vanligtvis inte delas med omvärlden. Genrens syfte skiljer sig därför från de andra, och vänder sig ofta till en stor målgrupp, vilket har lett till den ökande utvecklingen av efterfrågan på biografier. Detta är definitivt en genre man vill läsa.
