      Bijna zes jaar na het overweldigende succes van 'Een weeffout in onze sterren' schrijft John Green met 'Schildpadden tot in het oneindige' opnieuw een briljante en onvergetelijke roman. Het begint allemaal met een nieuwsbericht over een voortvluchtige miljardair en het vooruitzicht van een grote beloning voor de gouden tip over zijn verblijfplaats. 'Schildpadden tot in het oneindige' gaat over vriendschap voor het leven, onverwachte ontmoetingen, Star Wars-fanfictie en een tuatara die op het punt staat een fortuin te erven. Maar bovenal gaat het over Aza Holmes, een meisje dat worstelt met een dwangstoornis en klem komt te zitten in de verstikkende spiraal van haar gedachten. In dit langverwachte nieuwe boek deelt John Green het verhaal van Aza met verpletterende directheid: 'Dit is mijn eerste poging om openlijk te schrijven over de stoornis waar ikzelf sinds mijn vroegste jeugd mee worstel. Het verhaal is verzonnen, maar gaat wel degelijk ook over mij persoonlijk.'

      Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world--and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

      "Much has been written about how awful the German Democratic Republic supposedly was: a people imprisoned by a wall and subjugated by an omnipresent Stasi security apparatus. Such descriptions are based largely on prejudice, ignorance and wilful animosity. This book is an attempt to provide a more balanced evaluation and to examine GDR-style socialism in terms of what we can learn from it. The authors, while not ignoring the real deficiencies of GDR society, emphasise the many aspects that were positive, and demonstrate that alternative ways of organising society are possible. This volume is an updated and much expanded edition of the authors' booklet first published in 2009. Thee have added more detail on how the GDR came into being as a separate state, about how society functioned and what values determined the every-day life of its citizens. There is also a whole new section on what happened in the aftermath of unification, particularly to the economy. While unification brought East Germans access to a more affluent society, freedom to travel throughout the world and the end to an over-centralised political system, it also brought with it unemployment, social breakdown and loss of hope, particularly in the once thriving rural areas." -- From back cover.

Είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου, και το ξέρω πως ο έρωτας είναι απλώς μια κραυγή στο κενό, πως η λήθη είναι αναπόφευκτη και πως είμαστε όλοι καταδικασμένοι, και θα έρθει η μέρα που ο κόπος μας θα γίνει ξανά σκόνη, ξέρω πως ο ήλιος θα καταπιεί τη μόνη γη που θα αποκτήσουμε, κι είμαι ερωτευμένος μαζί σου».

      È la Vigilia di Natale a Gracetown. Scende la neve, i regali sono già sotto l’albero e le luci brillano per le strade. Sembra tutto pronto per la festa, ma una tormenta arriva a sparigliare le carte. Così si può rimanere bloccati su un treno in mezzo al nulla e vagare per la città fino a incontrare un intrigante sconosciuto. Oppure prendere la macchina per raggiungere una festa che promette di essere memorabile, per scoprire che l’amore è più vicino di quanto pensassimo. O ancora ritrovare qualcuno che si credeva perduto, ma solo dopo una giornata piena di imprevisti e di… maiali. Grazie a John Green, Maureen Johnson e Lauren Myracle, affermati autori Young Adult, la magia delle vacanze splende su questi tre racconti d’amore, che s’intrecciano tra loro mettendo in scena baci appassionati e avventure esilaranti.

    • Seine 5. Katherine fand Jungs eklig. Seine 10. Katherine wollte, dass sie nur Freunde blieben. Seine 19. Katherine brach ihm das Herz. Colin ist ein echtes Wunderkind: Er spricht elf Sprachen fließend, bildet liebend gerne Anagramme und ist überhaupt ein wandelndes Lexikon. In der Liebe allerdings läuft es alles andere als gut. Gerade hat ihn zum neunzehnten Mal eine Katherine sitzengelassen. Auf einer Reise quer durch Nordamerika, zu der ihn sein Freund Hassan überredet hat, entwickelt Colin ein Theorem, mit dem er in Zukunft rechtzeitig vorausberechnen will, wann ihn eine Freundin abservieren wird. Doch dann lernt er Lindsey kennen, die sein mühsam ausgearbeitetes Theorem mit einem Wimpernschlag widerlegen wird. Nominiert für den Preis der Jury der Jungen Leser 2009, Literaturhaus Wien

    • Pierwszy alkohol, pierwszy wybryk, pierwszy przyjaciel, pierwsza miłość – Miles Halter, zafascynowany ostatnimi słowami sławnych ludzi, pragnie uciec od nudnego życia w domu. Wyjeżdża do szkoły średniej z internatem, aby odnaleźć sens życia i poznać siebie. W Culver Creek czeka na niego wiele nowości, w tym niezwykła Alaska Young, która wciąga go w swój niepokojący świat. Z czasem Miles odkrywa, że życie Alaski nie jest tak idealne, jak mu się wydawało. Doświadcza prawdziwej przyjaźni i miłości, poznając zarówno piękne, jak i bolesne uczucia. W Wigilię, podczas śnieżnej burzy, Gracetown zamienia się w romantyczną scenerię, a wędrówka przez zaspy prowadzi do niespodziewanych zwrotów akcji. Okazuje się, że miłość może zrodzić się w najdziwniejszych okolicznościach, a magia świąt przynosi cuda. W tej urzekającej i zabawnej opowieści o miłości, autorzy John Green, Maureen Johnson i Lauren Myracle przedstawiają trzy powiązane ze sobą historie, które ukazują, jak niespodziewane mogą być świąteczne przygody.
