Et anker af flamingo - Pernille Frandsen - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Et anker af flamingo - Pernille Frandsen - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

“Han kigger på mig med en vrede, der er så voldsom, at jeg stivner. Indeni er det som en lynlås, der går op. Angsten fra barndommen vælder ud i mig, og jeg falder fra hinanden.” Denne bog er en gribende personlig beretning om, hvordan Pernilles verden pludselig væltede. Vi kommer helt tæt på oplevelserne med at blive indhentet af fortidens skygger og modtage mislykket psykiatrisk behandling med medicin og elektrochokbehandlinger, der ender med at forandre hendes liv og hjerne for altid. Pernille fortæller åbent og ærligt om en barndom med overgreb, en ungdom med viljestyrke og et voksenliv med nære venskaber og stærk kærlighed. Bogen giver et uhyggeligt indblik i, hvordan det føles at leve med en hjerne, man ikke længere kan stole på. For hvad gør man, når man mister sig selv og sin historie? Hvordan kommer man igennem det uden at gå i tusinde stykker? Uddrag af bogen ¨Der er ikke tid nok. Ikke tid nok til, at jeg kan tænke mig om. Til at finde mig til rette i situationen. Til at finde ud af, om der egentlig gemmer sig et menneske i det maleri på væggen, eller om det bare er nogle pastelfarver, der skal få mig til at slappe af. Pludselig sidder han der med de samlede testresultater i hånden og siger: ”Vi kan lige så godt springe ud i det.” Og jeg er slet ikke klar til at springe. Om forfatteren Pernille Frandsen (f. 1971) er uddannet og har arbejdet inden for det socialpædagogiske felt fra 1990 til 2010. Førtidspensionist 2012.

De handler om kærlighedens mange ansigter, om naturoplevelser og oplevelser med mennesker, der har haft en særlig betydning for forfatteren. Der er sikkert mange, der vil nikke genkendende til nogle af beskrivelserne, måske kan det inspirere til en genopfriskning af gamle minder, der længe har været glemt. Uddrag af bogen MODERSKIBE Moderrollen binder mig til jorden til huset til stedet som et anker binder et skib til en bestemt plet på havbunden i livets korte lykkestunder drømmer vi om evighed men ingenting varer ved Børn bliver voksne og rejser den tomme rede frister med frihed fantasien finder flugtruter blodets snærende bånd løsnes straks opstår en sviende smerte blodets bånd umuliggør flugt moderskibe ligger evigt for anker Om forfatteren Hanne Bistrup er født i 1944.

From the Southern Cross to the North Star - Vinni Breuning - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

From the Southern Cross to the North Star - Vinni Breuning - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their home and possessions in order to fulfill their lifelong dream. A dream of sailing around the world in their 40-foot sailboat, Capri . They left Copenhagen May 29, 2016. From the Southern Cross to the North Star is the sequel to their popular first book, Capri – Sailing Distant Seas . Here they continue their brutally honest description of blue water cruising. The book describes their adventures, both on the ocean and at anchor throughout the Pacific. It describes a life that is diametrically different from their past professional lives. Their choice has given them unbelievable freedom. They live in close contact with nature and meet many new and different cultures. Throughout their travels, they find new friends from far-ranging countries. The book is aimed at not only cruising sailors, but also landlubbers. The authors hope to inspire the reader to live their dream – be it on land or water. Excerpt from the book Both sails are in the third reef, Carsten is still immobile. I’ve taken over the galley duties and I’m not (yet) seasick. But I get very irritated when I work in the galley, nothing stays where I put it and the cook (me) has difficulty keeping her balance. Up in the cockpit, Carsten can hear me cursing like a true sailor. He says my language would embarrass even an old salt. My apologies. I can’t wait until we get to an anchorage and truly hope that we will be able to lie quietly. We have had enough of “rock and roll” (eighteenth day at sea). About the authors Vinni Breuning (born 1959) registered nurse and MBA has been a hospital CEO for over 14 years, first at the Private Hospital Hamlet, thereafter for the hospitals in the southern Zeeland region of Denmark. Carsten Breuning (born 1952) was born in Denmark, but grew up as an immigrant to the United States. He moved back to Europe as an adult. He has a BBA and has been General Manager and CEO for both Danish and American companies in Denmark and The Netherlands.

Capri - Carsten Breuning - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Capri - Carsten Breuning - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their house and everything they own so they can live out their dream of circumnavigating on their sailboat, Capri . They took in their landlines and sailed out of Copenhagen harbor May 29, 2016. In a detailed and capturing tale, they describe their adventure and their lives as cruising sailors. The authors are open and honest in their description and don’t paint a rosy picture of cruising. Instead, they mix the sweet with the sour, offering up a true-to-life depiction of their lives as “boat bums”. The book is not only a travel book but also a tale of their voyage of inner discovery as they discover new sides of themselves and their relationship. Their stressful daily life, filled with meetings and appointments is traded for a lifestyle where the days merge into one. Far from their previous experiences they meet challenges in strange environments and on threatening oceans. The book describes their first leg of the circumnavigation, the trip from Copenhagen over the Atlantic, up the east coast of the United States and their transit of the Panama Canal. Capri – Sailing Distant Seas can be enjoyed by not only sailors but also “landlubbers”. Excerpt from the book Carsten orders me out in the bows to make a video of our entrance to New York Harbor. I pan with the camera, begin my narrative and feel a lump rising in my throat. I fight my tears back, but can hear my voice breaking as I try to describe this morning. When I swing the camera over and focus on the “Little Lady” (Statue of Liberty), the dam breaks, tears stream down my face and I cry aloud as I talk about sailing into New York. I’m overwhelmed that we have gotten here. Sailing into New York harbor is completely surrealistic for me.

Hun er ung, er ikke tidligere straffet og eksistere teknisk set ikke i noget system så … ” Opgivende slog han ud med hånden. ”Så der er blevet taget blodprøver?” ”Otte styks. Mine hanner fik hende også delvist helbredt af en elver, der har en velgører i kvarteret, men arret er intakt.” ”Jeg skal nok kigge på hende,” sagde jeg og bad ham tage plads ude på gangen.

Destiny's Child - Sergio Peter Lazar - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Destiny's Child - Sergio Peter Lazar - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Read about this child and his partly path of his life beginning, called survival, this amazing and quite flabbergasted thing happened under the second world war, quietly he has faced a dramatically experience but thanks to his destiny is able to tell the story today of these multifaceted episodes, faced in his first part of his short beginning of life. Thanks to the people that surrounded him, but it was meant to be! These episodes will take him around the world at a later date and time in his life, right now making him look back to the future, and while he is reminiscing all of this, bring a smile on his face, very chaff that he’s still around and kicking, seeing himself in the rear glass mirror would bring a rather satiety feeling along, Yes the world has been no limits for him, all doors were open for him, all he had to do is, just walk through it, he needed to explore this wonderful unexpected but joyfully path and much experienced future. I sincerely invite you to share this narrated story. Excerpt from the book The oddest thing in life, is and will remain, the fact of we do not know where life journey is guiding us, and the why, we are going there, blindly, not knowing of what is happenings as years passing by, wondering is this really meant to be, and is this really how his destiny is been written, and traced his path, this is why remarkable enough, stories like this one, is one of many fascinating character, and not forgetting that Destiny is just like our DNA, unique as our vocal cords, and fingerprints, this is why this rather spinning book is naturally also different, tense and breath taken, living the reader simply chained to the anchor. About the author Sergio Peter Lazar is a partly Italian, partly British subject. Studied in Italy, England, and Denmark. After obtaining a MSc in engineering he came to Denmark in 1963, worked first as a salesman, then as an agent in Italy, later as an instructor responsible for company education.

Fra Sydkorset til Nordstjernen - Vinni Breuning - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Vinni og Carsten skipper deres karrierer, sælger deres bolig og ejendele for at gøre en livsdrøm til virkelighed. En drøm om at sejle jorden rundt i deres 40 fods sejlbåd. De stævner ud den 29. maj 2016. Fra Sydkorset til Nordstjernen er efterfølgeren til deres populære første bog Med Kronborg om bagbord og som fortsætter deres hudløse ærlige fortællinger om at være langturssejlere. Bogen beskriver deres eventyr såvel på de store oceaner, som når de ligger for anker i det sydlige Stillehav. Et liv der står i diametral modsætning til deres tidligere skemalagte professionelle liv. Det har givet dem en ubeskrivelig frihed. De lever et liv i tæt symbiose med naturen og møder mange fremmede kulturer. Undervejs får de nye venskaber med sejlere af forskellige nationaliteter. Bogen henvender sig til såvel sejlere som landkrabber. Forfatterne håber gennem deres fortællinger, at de kan motivere læserne til at leve deres livsdrøm ud. Uddrag af bogen Begge sejl er stadig i tredje reb. Carsten er fortsat immobil, og jeg har overtaget køkkentjansen uden at blive søsyg. Men jeg bliver meget hurtigt irriteret, når jeg arbejder i kabyssen, intet bliver stående, hvor man stiller det, og kokken har stort besvær med at holde balancen. Carsten kan høre helt op i cockpittet, at jeg bander og svovler som en ægte sømand. Han mener endda, at jeg vil gøre en søulk flov over mit sprog. Undskyld. Jeg glæder mig enormt til at nå frem til en ankerplads og håber inderligt, at vi finder en rolig ankerplads. Vi har haft nok ”rock'n roll”.

Konsulen i Gudernes Hjem - Jørgen Lindgreen - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Konsulen i Gudernes Hjem - Jørgen Lindgreen - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Vi er i årene 406-408. Romerriget er ved at tabe fodfæste i Britannien efter 350 års kolonisering. Det samme er ved at ske i deres klientstat Gudernes Hjem på øen Fionia, som er et ellers fredeligt og velstående matriarkat ledet af præstinden Liv, og hvor romerne har oprettet et konsulat, der styres fra Londinium. Konsulen, Marcus Gracilis, tidligere befalingsmand i den britanniske hær, bliver imidlertid bortført af danerhøvdinge, som kræver en høj løsesum i guld for frigivelse af ham. På samme tid er konsulens barndomsven, skipper Gaius, løbet ind i vanskeligheder med fragtbåden Helena, der er bindeleddet mellem Londinium og Gudernes Hjem, og som ligger lastet på Thames-floden parat til afsejling til Fionia. Gaius oplever nogle dramatiske dage i Londinium, hvor alt synes kaos efter Ebucarums (York) fald og den romerske kejsers udmelding. Lykkes det Gaius at få sat sejlet og lettet anker? Og hvad med konsul Marcus Gracilis? Uddrag af bogen – Nej, Marius Florius, afviste Claudia hovent. – Den løsning dur ikke. Gruppen her er alle mine ledsagere. Den blinde legionær, som du lige har afvist, har frelst mig og mine to tjenestefolk. Vi er de eneste overlevende fra mit gods. Min mand og min søn er begge dræbt i kamp mod de angelsaksiske barbarer, som er ved at ødelægge civilisationen på grund af hærens uduelighed. Disse tre frivillige legionærer og to af deres venner, som nu er døde, jog disse jordens værste udskud på flugt, mens min ære blev mig frataget, og min ejendom gik op i flammer. Sådan er det overalt i Britannien, unge soldat, 400 års civilisation forsvinder i ild og rædsler og røg. Den unge befalingsmand vidste hverken ud eller ind. Bommen blev nu åbnet, så hele gruppen kunne komme videre. Om forfatteren Jørgen Lindgreen (1936-2019) var i sin ungdom værftsarbejder og læste i ti år korrektur på et bogtrykkeri.

Kære børn, købmand Krogsgaard erklæret sindssyg - Jimmie Krogsgaard Nielsen - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Hvor langt skal man presses ud, før man får hjælp af systemet? Jeg valgte det ultimative ved alvorligt at prøve at tage mit liv. Ingen hjælp eller forståelse. Søgte hjælp i psykiatrien, fik tilbudt medicin, men afslog. Så lavede jeg en bombetrussel, og så blev jeg pludselig taget alvorligt, erklæret sindssyg og indlagt på retspsykiatrisk afdeling med en behandlingsdom på ubestemt tid. Under min indlæggelse fik jeg en åbenbaring. Jeg er tolken for vores alle sammens børn og skal skabe fred i verden. Denne skildring handler om min tid i det psykiatriske system, og om hvordan de forsøgte at få mig til at blive sindssyg, så de kunne give mig medicin. 8 forskellige afdelinger, 2 hospitaler, 25 værelser forsøgte de med, men lige lidt hjalp det. Jeg fandt den røde tråd og fulgte den til en bedre verden. H. Hoved. Det tænkes godt. H. Hjerte. Det føles godt. M. Mave. Det mærkes godt. H. Hånd. Det håndteres godt. Hoved, hjerte, mave, hånd: Så åbner du din indre ånd. Jorden bærer dit aftryk Uddrag af bogen Det skal ske ved vagtskifte. Der er alt personalet samlet på kontoret. De er nu altid på kontoret, synes jeg. Jeg går i gården for at undersøge, hvordan jeg kan stikke af. Jeg beslutter mig for at stille en stol uden for døren til haven. Hoppe op på den, videre op på døren og gribe fat i gesimsen. Så vil jeg gå på gesimsen over døren, til jeg når nedløbsrøret 4-5 meter over jorden. Herfra skal jeg klatre op ad nedløbsrøret, så jeg kommer op på taget. På den anden side af taget er der endnu et nedløbsrør, som går ned på den anden side af hegnet. Det er planen.

Prins Henrik 1934-2018 - Elisabeth Saugmann - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Prins Henrik 1934-2018 - Elisabeth Saugmann - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Denne personlige mindebog om prins Henrik følger ham fra ankomsten til Danmark til tiden efter hans død, der var præget af manges fortrydelse over den til tider hårde behandling, han fik. Journalist Elisabeth Saugmann trækker på egne og andre journalisters oplevelser med prinsen med smil på læben. Og landet rundt har hun talt med mange forskellige mennesker om deres personlige møder eller langvarige samarbejde med prinsen: musikere, sangere, kunstnere, bridgespillere, erhvervs- og militærfolk, sportsfolk og ledere i kulturlivet, som prins Henrik var en aktiv del af. Hun har også haft samtaler med prinsens personlige kammertjener, Anker Andersen, der fortæller, at prins Henrik få dage inden sin døde ringede og sagde farvel til ham. “Kan De nu have det godt, Andersen.” Vi følger prins Henrik i alle livets aldre og lægger vægt på folks personlige udsagn og erindringer. Om alt fra hans store kærlighed til hunde til turene på knallert efter fisk rundt om i Danmark. Bogen giver også andre nye oplysninger fra folk, der stod prinsen nær i årevis. Vi hører om hans bridgespil i København med skuespilleren Omar Sharif og hans trommespil med Michala Petri på blokfløjte. Som pianist spillede han med sin svigerfar Frederik 9., og på sin egen måde var han en respekteret del af musiklivet. Naturligvis slår bogen også et slag hen over de mange ”skandaler”, han var leveringsdygtig i, og som gang på gang bragte ham på formiddagspressens forsider. Han får broderparten af mindebogens opmærksomhed som den intelligente, særprægede og dybt poetiske pilot, der søgte op i himlens stilhed, da han som ung prins fløj rundt over vore hoveder, uden at vi anede det, og tilegnede sig det lille grønne land fra oven. Helt deroppe, hvor han til gengæld ikke kunne høre vores langvarige folkelige diskussioner fra Gedser til Skagen om landets nye franskfødte svigersøn. Det kan man kalde at se det hele lidt fra oven. Og det kunne han. Om forfatteren Elisabeth Saugmann er forfatter og selvstændig kulturjournalist. Hun har tidligere været ansat i DR og på Berlingske Media og Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten. Hun har skrevet biografien Lidt hippie er man vel altid (2015) og børnebogen Super Mouse (2016) samt redigeret Musikkens førstedamer (1992) og bidraget til bøger om operasangeren Aage Haugland og cykelrytteren Jesper Skibby.

De allierede og nazisterne er i et dødbringende kapløb om at udvikle det ultimative våben, mens supersoniske V-2-raketter regner ned over London. Madeleine Toche og Berthold Hartmann, den tyske supermorder, der lærte hende at dræbe, leder efter den hemmelige fabrik, hvor Werner von Braun og Gestapos bruger slavearbejde til at bygge våbnene, mens ligene af de uskyldige hober sig op. Da han finder fabrikken Kohnstein-bjerget, kontakter Hartmann sin gamle fjende, Winston Churchill, og tilkalder Madeleine. Mens hun arbejder på at knuse sine fjender, står Hartmann i spidsen for en dristig flugt fra den frygtede Dora-koncentrationslejr som et led i sin hævn mod de monstre, der har ødelagt hans elskede Tyskland. Sammen med de russiske Nachthexen, Natheksene, som er en gruppe frygtindgydende kvindelige piloter, strammer kapløbet til, da USA og tyskerne med succes gennemfører en atombombetest. Tyskland installerer en atombombe i en V-2 med retning mod London, mens USA leverer en til en base i Stillehavet. Anden Verdenskrigs skæbne og menneskehedens fremtid ligger i vægtskålen. Uddrag af bogen 7. december 1941 Kampflyene kom uanmeldt over den amerikanske stillehavsflåde ved Pearl Harbor. De fleste bar torpedoer. De var blevet sendt affyret nogle miles derfra efter en lang rejse fra Japan. Flyene var sendt ud i et overraskelsesangreb, i håb om at USA ville søge at opnå acceptabel fredsaftale og lade Japan om at overtage Sydøstasien. Men sådan skulle det ikke gå. Morgenen var flot og lys. Mænd og kvinder vågnede i deres senge til lyden af fly, der fløj ind mod land over havet. Det lægefaglige personale kunne se frem til endnu en dag i paradis. Kampskibe og hangarskibe lå for anker i naturhavnens rolige, turkisblå vand. Da sirenerne lød, gik folk nysgerrigt ud fra deres hjem og kontorer. De kiggede op på den underlige formation af flyvemaskiner, der kom susende over deres hoveder og dykkede til lav højde. De så på, da flyene lod deres bomber falde. Hvad der havde virket som en ferie, udviklede sig til kaos. Sygeplejersker løb fra stranden i deres badetøj for at tage sig af de sårede. De få piloter, der var stationeret på øen, var hastet til deres fly for at kæmpe tilbage. Nogle af dem nåede at komme i luften. Andre blev dræbt i deres cockpit på jorden af bomberne. Præsident Roosevelt anmodede Kongressen om at erklære krig. Det blev øjeblikkeligt tiltrådt. Om forfatteren Soren Paul Petrek arbejder som advokat i kriminalsager. Han bor og arbejder i Minnesota, USA.

Uddrag af bogen “She was not sure what she had expected, but the tall man waiting for her was not it. He was exceptionally tall, like her father, but instead of her father’s blond and thinning hair this man had a mop of chestnut brown curls and a warm set of green eyes. Smiling just like the rest of his face and body was. Giving him an almost giddy child like quality which soothed the impact of his size. He was big but not scary. “I I I, I was not hiding, I fell” She managed to get out. Stammering through most of it, still surprised and not sure how much of his happy demeanor could be trusted. “ Om forfatteren Anne Broch was born in Denmark in 1991 on a regular day, no stormy night in sight. At day she works as an engineer making toys and at night she sleeps, coming up with all sorts of story lines in her dreams.

Alienated Characters in Johnny Guitar - Søren Kjellberg - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Alienated Characters in Johnny Guitar - Søren Kjellberg - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

It was the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci who called Nicholas Ray’s 1954 Republic production Johnny Guitar a baroque western. Up to that point in 1954, the western film had always been a very conservative genre, with its own stylistic and narrative conventions. But Ray subverted all that with his off-beat characterization, where gender roles were reversed, and the principal leads were mirrored off each other or served as extensions of each other’s personas. However, Johnny Guitar did not give birth to a subgenre. It was too bizarre, too poetic, and too loaded with symbolism to remain anything other than an anomaly. This modest little film, which was generally misunderstood upon its release, has grown in reputation ever since, and is now widely considered to be one of the greatest westerns ever made. It is also Nicholas Ray’s first color film. He makes full use of the blazing Trucolor process in his color coding, and thereby creates a dreamy, hallucinatory effect, which together with his syncopated editing and his expressionist mise-en-scène, helps lift the film to another level. The purpose of the book, Alienated Characters in Johnny Guitar , is to give the reader a nuts-and-bolts breakdown of Nicholas Ray’s directorial style and his use of mise-en-scène. All too often that element is glossed over in film criticism, which takes a far more literal and narrative approach. Excerpt from the book Ray understands her frustration with the underlying hypocrisy that carries her in the maelstrom of role playing, but does not believe that the solution to her problems lies in the passive retreat into the isolation of her private room. He understands that solitude can be a symptom of this frustration, but has no sympathy for the self-indulgence of letting it be the answer to this frustration. A retreat into isolation from a none too harmonious world can only generate negative feelings of fear and disheartenment towards the world one must turn to in an effort of self-adjustment, in the hope of a constructive, meaningful, and happy life with the limitations of the everyday. To oppose the world from the entrenchment of isolation is not a challenge but a resignation. About the author Søren Kjellberg (b. 1963) has traveled a lot in his life and has lived in Denmark, Nigeria, England, and Japan. He has an International Baccalaureate from St. Mary’s International School in Tokyo and an ACTT-accredited diploma in The Art and Technique of Filmmaking from London International Film School. He has held down various jobs, such as nightwatchman, washer-upper, ESL teacher, and filmmaker. After having struggled for much of his adult life, he was finally diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome in 1998. He has previously made three documentaries and written two books.
