James
When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a “literary icon" (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature.

Biskop Thomas
Biskop Thomas er en betydningsfuld stemme, ikke kun i Egypten, men for kristne i hele Mellemøsten. I ørkenen mellem Kairo og Alexandria har han etableret Anafora, et center for åndeligt liv og menneskeligt fællesskab. Her kommer mennesker, både fra Egypten og resten af verden, for at søge inspiration, fordybelse og fornyelse.Ordet Anafora betyder ”at løfte”, og det er biskop Thomas’ store vision: at løfte mennesker, så de får håb for fremtiden. Han mener, at kirken har en forpligtelse til at engagere sig i samfundet, og han vil som biskop gerne medvirke til at skabe forandring og udvikling i Egypten. Især har han fokus på at hjælpe landets fattige til at få en uddannelse.Det kristne mindretal i Egypten lever under et stort pres, men bogen er ikke så meget en beretning om forfølgelse. Den handler mere om den åndelige kraft, der har båret kopterne gennem århundreder, og som i dag viser sig i kirkens bestræbelser på at skabe en atmosfære af fred og forsoning. Udgangspunktet er, at
