Veronica Roth Boeken

Futuristisch Chicago. De wereld van de zestienjarige Tris is opgedeeld in vijf zuilen die elk staan voor een bepaalde waarde: eerlijkheid, onbaatzuchtigheid, dapperheid, perfectie en intelligentie. Ieder jaar weer moeten alle zestienjarigen kiezen bij welke zuil zij de rest van hun leven willen horen. Tijdens de brute ontgroening moet Tris bepalen wie haar werkelijke vrienden zijn. Ook heeft Tris een geheim dat ze voor iedereen verborgen moet houden. Als de ogenschijnlijk perfecte maatschappij verhardt en tegenstellingen uitgroeien tot een steeds groter conflict, komt Tris erachter dat haar geheim levens zou kunnen redden, maar ook haar eigen dood zou kunnen betekenen.

Deze speciale filmeditie van Veronica Roth verschijnt ter gelegenheid van de gelijknamige film Divergent. Divergent draait vanaf 3 april 2014 in de Nederlandse bioscopen. De cast bestaat uit topacteurs onder wie Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Shailene Woodley, Theo James en Zoe Kravitz. Één beslissing Bepaalt je vrienden Één beslissing Bepaalt je normen en waarden Één beslissing Bepaalt waar je staat - voor altijd ONE CHOICE CAN TRANSFORM YOU

Het lot bracht ze samen. Nu zal het ze verdelen. De levens van Cyra Noavek en Akos Kereseth zijn bepaald door hun lotsbestemmingen. Het lot van Akos is dat hij zal sterven in dienst van de familie Noavek, maar toch is hij verliefd geworden op Cyra. Dan eist Cyra's doodgewaande vader Lazmet, een meedogenloze tiran, de Shotet-troon op. Akos vreest dat zijn einde dichterbij is dan ooit. Lazmet staat op het punt een barbaarse oorlog te ontketenen, en Cyra en Akos willen hem koste wat het kost tegenhouden. Ze moeten hun familie, hun rijk en misschien zelfs elkaar verraden en bepalen waar hun loyaliteit ligt.

De Inwijdingsdag van Tris, die euforisch had moeten zijn, eindigt gruwelijk. Vanaf dat moment is het oorlog tussen de facties. En in tijd van oorlog moeten er kanten gekozen worden. Geheimen worden onthuld en de gevolgen van gemaakte keuzes zijn nog onherroepelijker, en nog krachtiger. Tris doet alles wat ze kan om haar dierbaren te redden. Gevoelens van rouw en schuld achtervolgen haar terwijl ze worstelt met vragen over vergiffenis, loyaliteit, politiek en liefde. Door ingrijpende nieuwe ontdekkingen en verschuivende relaties, moet Tris volledig accepteren dat ze afwijkend is, zelfs als ze niet weet wat ze daardoor zal verliezen...

In een sterrenstelsel verbonden door de Stroom, heeft iedereen een gave. Cyra's gave geeft haar pijn, maar ze kan ook anderen onnoemelijk veel pijn doen. Haar broer Ryzek heerst als een tiran over hun planeet, Shotet. Ryzek misbruikt Cyra’s gave om zijn vijanden te martelen. Maar Cyra is veel meer dan een wapen in handen van haar broer: ze is snel, veerkrachtig en slimmer dan hij denkt. Wanneer Akos uit het naburige rijk Thuve als gevangene in Cyra’s wereld terechtkomt, lijkt de vijandschap tussen hun landen en hun families onoverkomelijk. Samengebracht door het lot moeten ze een allesbepalende keuze maken.

De tweede deel van de bestsellertrilogie Divergent. De balans tussen de facties is verstoord. De simulatie is afgelopen en de schade is onomkeerbaar. Een handvol Altruïsten die de aanval van de Onverschrokkenen hebben overleefd, heeft de stad verlaten op zoek naar onderdak bij de Vriendelijkheid. Wetende van de dreiging van de leider van de Eruditie, plannen ze hun volgende zet, terwijl Jeanine niet zal rusten totdat ze de volledige controle over de stad heeft. In het licht van de toenemende conflicten moeten de facties kiezen aan welke kant ze staan. Maakt Tris de juiste keuze? Ze ontdekt wie ze werkelijk is. Na jaren van het gevoel nergens bij te horen, begrijpt ze dat ze zich niet hoeft aan te passen. Het zijn van Divergent geeft haar een voordeel, maar brengt ook gevaar met zich mee. In enkele uren verliest ze haar ouders, vrienden en de factie die haar nieuwe familie had moeten zijn, evenals haar vertrouwen in zichzelf. Geplaagd door schuldgevoelens probeert ze haar weg te vinden in de nieuwe realiteit. Zal ze de kracht vinden om degenen te verdedigen om wie ze geeft?

Wat als je hele wereld een leugen was? Wat als een enkele keuze alles veranderde? Wat als liefde en loyaliteit je dingen liet doen die je nooit verwacht had? Veronica Roth’s Divergent-trilogie begon met Inwijding en Opstand. Het explosieve slot Divergent 3 – Samensmelting onthult de geheimen van de dystopische wereld.

Vier het 10-jarig bestaan van Divergent met Allegiant, het derde boek in de bestsellende serie die de harten van miljoenen lezers heeft veroverd en heeft geleid tot een reeks grote filmproducties. Dit derde deel in de serie wordt verteld vanuit een meeslepende duale perspectief en volgt Tris en Tobias terwijl ze strijden om de complexiteit van de menselijke natuur en zichzelf te begrijpen, terwijl ze geconfronteerd worden met onmogelijke keuzes van moed, loyaliteit, opoffering en liefde. De explosieve conclusie van Veronica Roth's Divergent-trilogie onthult de geheimen van de dystopische wereld die lezers in Divergent en Insurgent heeft geboeid. Het verhaal biedt een aangrijpende metafoor voor cruciale conflicten van de adolescentie en blijft intelligent en complex. Dit laatste deel zal de aandacht vasthouden tot de beslissende eindstrijd is gestreden.

For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with their lives.Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past--and her family's dark secrets--than she ever wanted to.With razor sharp prose, Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society--an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
