Foley-konstnären, E-bok
Jag är egentligen konstnär. Ibland får jag frågan om vad jag arbetar med, och då är det vad jag svarar. Alla människor ljuger någon gång om vad de är. Alla vill vi vara någonting vi inte är.Foley-metoden används inom filmen, som en form av dubbning. Du tror att det är ljudet av hästhovar som du hör - egentligen slår en person två tomma kokosnötsskal mot varandra. Men det finns ljud som aldrig går att efterskapa, inte exakt - ben som krossas, till exempel. Det är då de anlitar mig ...Christoffer Carlsson har kommit ut med fyra hyllade romaner. Sveriges nya noir-stjärnskott har han kallats. Parallellt med skrivandet utbildar han sig till kriminolog. Foley-konstnären är en otäck och suggestiv resa i smärtans utkanter.Lästid 8 min.

Douglas Bader, E-bok
Douglas Bader was a legend in his lifetime and remains one today 100 years after his birth. A charismatic leader and fearless pilot, he refused to let his severe disability (loss of both legs in a flying accident) ground him. He fought the authorities as ruthless as he did the enemy and not only managed to return to the front line but became a top scoring ace. His innovative tactics (The Big Wing) ensured his promotion and he led a key group of squadrons during the dark days of the Battle of Britain.His luck ran out when he was shot down and captured; he only escaped his burning fighter by cutting away one of his artificial legs.As a POW he was a thorn in the Germans side and he was sent to Colditz Castle.As this perceptive book reveals Bader, the hero, was at times a difficult overbearing man, no doubt in part due to the pain he suffered. But his strengths far outweighed his weaknesses and his place in the annuals of British history is secure.This is a timely republication of an important biography.EPUB3: Reflowable
Douglas Haig, E-bok
As a young officer in the prestigious 21st Lancers (motto Death or Glory) Douglas Haig played a leading role in Kitcheners bold expedition which ended in the defeat of the Khalifa of Sudan at Omdurman. He described the action, as he did the whole campaign, vividly in words and diagrams which survived virtually untouched at the family home Bemersyde in the Borders.These letters and diaries allow the reader to trace Haig's career and developing character. What they reveal may well surprise his critics.Field Marshal Lord Haig will remain a hugely controversial figure due to his preeminent role during The Great War. He was a hugely popular public figure in the post WW1 years and revered by those who served under him. His death in 1928 was a major occasion for mourning. Only later was he heavily criticized for the slaughter of the trenches.
Freya Douglas Morris: This star I give to you
The first publication on the work of London-based artist Freya Douglas-Morris documents her first solo exhibition with Alexander Berggruen, New York, in autumn 2023. This star I give to you is the first publication on the work of London-based artist Freya Douglas-Morris, presenting a body of paintings exploring the poetry, beauty and magic of landscapes and the natural world. Born in London in 1980, Douglas-Morris spent several of her childhood years in a village near the coast on the Isle of Wight before she and her family moved back to London. These experiences of the land, sea and sky contributed to her fascination with these subjects in her painting practice: ‘I think my love of being outdoors started then’ she remarks during her interview with British publisher Matt Price for this publication. The interview, which was held in the artist’s East-London studio shortly before Douglas-Morris’s solo exhibition of the same name at Alexander Berggruen, New York, in autumn 2023, explores
