Essäer Om Henry B. Goodwin
Henry B. Goodwin var länge Sveriges mest kända fotograf, från första världskriget och framåt. Han arbetade i piktorialistisk anda, den för tiden förhärskande bildstilen, med hårt manipulerade bilder och kreativ oskärpa. I Essäer om Henry B. Goodwin kompletterar och vidareutvecklar Olle Östlind sin tidigare bok Den okände Henry B. Goodwin. Läsaren får ta del av Goodwins syn på fotokonstens estetik och teknik, och hans egna åsikter om porträttfotografin och den nya sakligheten i spänningsfältet mellan impressionism och expressionism.I Östlinds text finner vi också fördjupningar om bland annat Goodwins negativa syn på den samtida rasforskningen, bakgrunden till praktverket Vårt vackra Stockholm, och historien om Goodwins isländska ungdomsförlovning. I en längre essä presenteras fotografens hustru, Ida Buergel Goodwin, och vi träffar också Georg Brandes, Karl-Otto Bonnier, John Hertzberg, Daniel Fallström, Ola Hansson och Laura Marholm. Författaren avslutar med en intervju med Alva Hallberg som arbetade i Goodwins studio 19161920. Bokens rika bildmaterial visar tydligt varför Goodwin har en framträdande plats i svensk fotohistoria!
Godwin
Mark Wolfe, a brilliant if self-thwarting technical writer, lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, Sushila, and their toddler daughter. His half-brother Geoff, born and raised in the UK, is a desperate young football agent. He pulls Mark across the ocean into a scheme to track down an elusive prospect known only as “Godwin" – an African teenager Geoff believes could be the next Messi. Narrated in turn by Mark and his work colleague Lakesha Williams, the novel is both a tale of family and migration, and an international adventure story that implicates the brothers in the beauty and ugliness of football, the perils and promises of international business, and the dark history of transatlantic money-making. As only he can do, Joseph O'Neill investigates the legacy of colonialism in the context of family love, global capitalism, and the dreaming individual.

Henry B. Goodwins Vykort - En Bildskatt 1915-1929
Fotografen Henry B Goodwin är välkänd men hans vykort är mindre välbekanta. Vykortet var nytt i början av 1900-talet och idolbilder av skådespelare och berömda personer var vanliga. Olle Östlind botaniserar här bland Goodwins vykort i den första boken om denna bildskatt. Motiven skulle vara tilltalande för den vykortsköpande allmänheten och också svara upp mot Goodwins egna krav på konstnärlighet och högklassigt tryck. Många av korten var därför fotogravyrer, ett relativt dyrt tryck men inkomsten från vykortsproduktion var trots det ganska god. Östlind har lyckats samla i stort sett hela Goodwins produktion av vykort från åren 19151929. I boken finns utsökta porträtt av bland annat Hjalmar Branting, Verner von Heidenstam, Ellen Key och svenska kungligheter, liksom av Goodwins favoritaktörer, dansösen Jenny Hasselqvist och skådespelaren Anders de Wahl.

Goodwin: Peekaboo
Goodwin is the solo project of Rob Goodwin. Frontman and baritone vocalist of Manchester’s cinematic, indie-pop band, The Slow Show. The frontman of The Slow Show steps into the spotlight alone, crafting intimate tales of love, loss, and quiet bravery. Born in the stillness of his German home and shaped in the creative hum of Neukölln, Berlin, Goodwin’s music is a tender exploration of vulnerability and connection. In late 2023 during a respite in touring with his band, Goodwin started to work on something for himself. A collection of intimate recordings, stories more suited to a quieter, rawer space. Inspired by the moody atmospheres of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, these deeply personal songs have vulnerability at their core. Romantic, dreamlike stories for people to curl up and escape in.

Den Politiska Rättvisan Och Dess Inflytande På Moralen Och Lyckan
William Godwin har gått till historien som en av sin tids mest radikala tänkare och som den anarkistiska filosofins anfader. Mycket av det ryktet vilar på denna bok, vars första utgåva utkom 1793, fyra år efter stormningen av Bastiljen. Smittad av upplysningens optimistiska människosyn målar Godwin upp en vision om ett rationellare sätt att leva tillsammans som fria självständiga individer - människans potential att utvecklas är obegränsad, och de politiska institutionerna utgör snarast hinder för denna utveckling. Decentralisering, allas deltagande i produktionen, avskaffande av staten, ekonomisk jämlikhet, arbetstidsförkortning - allt detta har stått på anarkismens dagordning alltsedan Godwin. Nu föreligger Godwins huvudverk för första gången i svensk översättning av Erik Carlqvist. Med ett introducerande förord av Ragnar Ohlsson, professor emeritus i filosofi. Den politiska rättvisan ingår i förlagets serie Svart sten. William Godwins (1756-1836) liv var i flera avseenden lika fängslande som hans verk. Han var gift med den feministiska pionjären Mary Wollstonecraft som skrev Till försvar av kvinnans rättigheter, och tillsammans hade de dottern Mary Godwin (senare Shelley), författaren till Frankenstein och gift med den romantiske poeten P. B. Shelley. Godwin började sin bana som präst men lämnade snart kyrkan för att försörja sig som journalist, romanförfattare och filosof. Med sina samhällskritiska texter blev snart en av centralfigurerna i de brittiska radikala kretsarna under 1790-talet. Bokförlaget h:ström - Text & Kultur har av William Godwin tidigare utgivit: Världen som den är, eller Caleb Williams äventyr, samt Mary Wollstonecraft: En minnesteckning
The Gododdin
The timeless and compelling 'word-music' of one of Britain's oldest cultural treasures is captured in this new bilingual edition. The Gododdin charts the rise and fall of 363 warriors in the battle of Catraeth, around the year AD 600. The men of the Brittonic kingdom of Gododdin rose to unite the Welsh and the Picts against the Angles, only to meet a devastating fate. Composed by the poet Aneirin, the poem was originally orally transmitted as a sung elegy, passed down for seven centuries before being written down in early Welsh by two medieval scribes. It is composed of one hundred laments to the named characters who fell, and follows a sophisticated alliterative poetics. Former National Poet of Wales Gillian Clarke animates this historical epic with a modern musicality, making it live in the language of today and underscoring that, in a world still beset by the misery of war, Aneirin's lamentation is not done.
