Thomas More
Over the centuries, biographers of Thomas More have frequently praised him and made him an example for their own times. He was a man for all seasons. This tudor prelate and Lord Chancellor of England shared human qualities identifiable in all ages - pride, love, ambition, generosity, hypocrisy and greed. He was less thancommon because he was witty and a great storyteller - possibly the best between Chaucer and Shakespeare. He was a true Renaissance man with the contradictions such praise imposes on a towering figure. In this biography, Sir Thomas More, the martyr and brilliant public figure, is a lesson for our time.

Sankt Thomas More
Helgon och husfadern, lagkunnig och litteratör, betrodd av sin konung Henrik VIII, med rikets högsta ämbetet, lordkanslerns, och av samme konung dömd till döden för högförräderi, då han vägrade att erkänna denne som kyrkans överhuvud. Hans namn var Thomas More och han lever mellan 1478 0ch 1535. För de engelska katolikerna och även för många andra engelsmän framstår han som martyren som modigt gick i döden för sin tro och när påven Pius XI 1935 till 400-årsminnet av hans död helgonförklarade honom kändes det för många som om rättvisa äntligen skipats och en av landets ädlaste söner även officiellt trätt i in i martyrernas heliga skara. "The King´s good servant but God´s first" var hans avskedsord vid avrättningen den 6 juli 1535. - Detta i Sverige föga kända livsöde har Py Sörman (+ 1947) återgett för svenska läsare på ett enkelt och lättläst sätt i en volym, som nu utges i en språkligt något reviderad andra upplaga.

Thomas More: A Life
The definitive biography of the man who dominated political and intellectual circles in England during the sixteenth century: Thomas More. Born into the era of the Wars of the Roses, educated during the European Renaissance, rising to become Chancellor of England, and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More was one of the most famous--and notorious--figures in English history. Was he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of Utopia, and an inspiration for statesmen and intellectuals even today? Or was he the cruel zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall? Thomas More: A Life is a monumental biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure. Overturning prior interpretations of this titan of the sixteenth century, Joanne Paul shows Thomas More to have been intellectually and politically central to the making of modern Europe. Based on new archival discoveries and drawing on more than a decade of research into More's life and work, this is a richly told story of faith and

Mindy är på gång, sannerligen! Hon kallas av en näst intill samstämmig amerikansk kritikerkårför nya Dolly Parton, och efter att lyssnat på denna platta förstår man varför. Country är det, fast med den där smittsamt melodiska känsla som infinner sig när folk som kan sjunger, spelar och arrangerar! Tidigare spelade hon in på diverse storbolag, nu är hon sin egen boss, och då är hon som bäst!
