Deirdre, E-bok
The story of a young girl raised in isolation in preparation to marry the King of Ulster sounds at first a little outdated.That is until you call it what it is - an arranged marriage and child abuse.These are themes that continue to exist and they give 'Deirdre' a resonance in the 21st century.The girl at the heart of the story eventually falls in love with a young man and they run away to Scotland - cue much relief.There is a nasty twist in the tale, however, when she is lured back to Ireland many years later.The story, which is based on Irish myth and legend, has echoes of the 1993 movie 'The Piano', starring Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel, in which a mute Scottish woman was sold into marriage by her father to a frontiersman in New Zealand.James Stephens (1880-1950) was an Irish novelist and poet who based many of his works of myth and legend from Ireland's past.Life imitated art when he created his own myth - claiming to have been born on the same day as literary legend James Joyce ('Ulysses', 'Finnegans Wake').His father died when he was two and his mother remarried, leading to his being committed to a boys' school when caught begging on the streets.During time as a solicitor and a registrar at the National Gallery of Ireland, Stephens took up writing.He is best known for 'Irish Fairy Tales' and 'The Crock of Gold', while he also wrote an influential account of the 1916 Easter Rising, describing the death of his friend Thomas MacDonagh.

Carubine: Futuredream
Under flaggan av hårdrock och prog som på 70-talet och med mörkret och enkelheten hos grungen och den alternativa scenen. Häftiga vokalharmonier, tunga riff och hypnotiserande atmosfäriska gitarrer. Låter som Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, Queens Of The Stone Age.

Caroline
Sjælden førstehåndsberetning: Caroline Fleming fortæller for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv som del af den danske elite. Når hendes far satte Neil Diamonds ’Sweet Caroline’ på grammofonen vidste hun, at det ville blive en god aften, når hun som voksen kom på besøg på slottet. Det var som at få den kærlighedspokal, hun havde jagtet hele sin barndom. Andre gange havde hun kvalme af angst over at være tilbage i det hjem, hvor hun siden sine teenageår havde følt sig fejlanbragt; som om storken havde dumpet hende ned i den forkerte familie. Caroline Fleming er født som baronesse og arving til Valdemars Slot. Her fortæller hun for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv bag de smukke kulisser. Om et jetsetliv som gift i en af Englands rigeste familier, og om hvordan hun måtte bryde ud af det for ikke at gå til grunde. Om sladder, spiseforstyrrelse og en sen ADHD-diagnose. Og om at miste sin familie og det slot, hun var født til at arve, for i stedet at vinde noget
