Bruce Bawer Boeken

An expose of the identity-group madness that transformed American campuses-and is now turning the Western world upside down.

"Bruce Bawer's While Europe Slept sounded the alarm about the dire impact of Muslim immigration on Europe. Now, in Surrender, he reveals that a combination of fear and political correctness has led politicians, intellectuals, religious leaders, and the media--both in the United States and abroad--to appease radical Islam at the cost of our most cherished values: freedom of speech and freedom of the press"--Publisher's blurb.

Provides a look at the increasing threat of Muslim immigration and explains why Europe, hampered by political correctness and anti-American sentiment, has become helpless to stop the growth of Islamic extremism within their own countries.

A journey of reminiscence, with the doors of Sortland hotel – the common project of the artist and author – serving as a starting and turning point. The text is a masterful exploration of how Nico became Nico, but also a description of how a sculpture is made: «The block of stone is, to Nico, what the blank page is to me – possibility. But that’s where the difference begins, too. Nico removes. I add. I build, word by word. He removes, piece by piece.» Trygve Indrelid’s many photos from inside the workshop paint photographic portraits of a sculptor at work, in a physical struggle with the elements. Through Indrelid’s lense we can see the sparks in the rebuilt workshop – cutting torch and welding mask, water, clay, bronze, stone, glass and fire, but no brush and palette. Indrelid has watched Nico at work for years, seen him finish works that has been displayed in public places, as well as privately owned works withheld from the public – but not from the photographer. The last part of the book shows a large selection of Nico Widerberg’s works, with emphasis on the most recent production. The book is designed by Henrik Haugan.
