Een kleurrijk, invoelend en onverbloemd portret van een regio die zich met vallen en opstaan aan de Westerse dominantie ontworstelt, zelfbewust en autonoom wordt ‘Dit magistrale boek over Afrika, dat net zo goed over óns gaat, en over de mensheid, heeft mij diep geraakt. Iedereen zou het moeten lezen.’ – Caroline de Gruyter In 1973 zette Koert Lindijer voor het eerst voet in de Keniaanse hoofdstad Nairobi, destijds een slome tuinstad. Tien jaar later ging hij er wonen; het begin van veertig jaar correspondentschap waarvan Nairobi, inmiddels een miljoenenstad, het kloppende hart werd. Als Afrika-correspondent doet Lindijer verslag vanuit de loopgraven met Eritrese rebellen en van de genocide in Rwanda. Hij vertelt over zijn vriendschap met de Maasai, over het leven van alledag en over de wijze waarop eeuwenoude tradities het stedelijke leven blijven bepalen. Hij beziet een continent dat schommelt tussen de hoopvolle protesten van assertieve jongeren en het democratisch bedrog van hun leiders, tussen grootse economische plannen en de komst van dubieuze westerse NGO’s. Een wolkenkrabber op de savanne is een kleurrijk, invoelend en onverbloemd portret van een regio die zich met vallen en opstaan aan de westerse dominantie ontworstelt, zelfbewust en autonoom wordt – en een plek opeist op het wereldtoneel.

Een bundel vol ontroerende, meeslepende, leerzame en hilarische verhalen, verzameld door meesterjournalist en -interviewer Frénk van der Linden. In In de spiegel vraagt journalist en presentator Frénk van der Linden zijn collega’s naar hun allesbeslissende interview. Dat ene gesprek dat een grote of zelfs doorslaggevende invloed heeft gehad op de gedachten en gevoelswereld van de interviewers, op hun professioneel en persoonlijk handelen en wandelen. Alle interviewers maken vroeg of laat een moment mee waarop een ontmoeting met een gesprekspartner hun kijk op het leven of de journalistiek verandert. Plots raken de woorden van de geïnterviewde een snaar die nog lang blijft natrillen. Soms is het een (levens)les. Frénk van der Linden vroeg collega’s een stuk te schrijven over dat bijzondere gesprek. 78 vakgenoten gingen de uitdaging aan en schreven een verhaal over een ontmoeting die hun persoonlijke of professionele leven een nieuwe dimensie gaf. Van Hanneke Groenteman, Joris Luyendijk, Astrid Joosten, Fokke Obbema, Jeroen Smit en Chazia Mourali tot Stefan Raatgever, Lara Billie Rense en Tim Hofman. Het leverde een rijke bundel op, waarin inspirerende inzichten, misstappen, hilarische ervaringen, trucs, spijtbetuigingen en ontroerende scènes elkaar afwisselen.

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 2020 FICTION HIGHLIGHTS: Petina Gappah's epic journey through nineteenth-century Africa is 'engrossing, beautiful and deeply imaginative.' (Yaa Gyasi)This is the story of the body of Bwana Daudi, the Doctor, the explorer David Livingstone - and the sixty-nine men and women who carried his remains for 1,500 miles so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own country.The wise men of his age say Livingstone blazed into the darkness of their native land leaving a track of light behind where white men who followed him could tread in perfect safety. But in Petina Gappah's radical novel, it is those in the shadows of history - those who saved a white man's bones; his dark companions; his faithful retinue on an epic funeral march - whose voices are resurrected with searing intensity. This final, fateful journey across the African interior is lead by Halima, Livingstone's sharp-tongued cook, and three of his most devoted servants: Jacob, Chuma and Susi. Their tale of how his corpse was borne out of nineteenth-century Africa - carrying the maps that sowed the seeds of the continent's brutal colonisation - has the power of myth. It is not only symbolic of slavery's hypocrisy, but a portrait of a world trembling on the cusp of total change - and a celebration of human bravery, loyalty and love.

An imaginative, intriguing and dark fairytale. After many years Doctor Victor Hoppe returns to the small village he grew up in. His return after an absence of many years generates a lot of interest - and suspicion - as he is accompanied by three triplets, all of whom share the same physical deformity as the doctor - a hare lip. These children are very quiet and are rarely seen in the village. But with time, and a series of apparently miraculous cures and tales of the wife he lost, the doctor begins to win the villagers over. He hires an ex schoolmistress, Charlotte, to look after the children. But the longer she works with the doctor, the more she begins to suspect that the children - and the doctor - aren't what they seem...

A war correspondent’s bestselling, “commanding . . . eye-opening account” of five years on the Middle East frontlines (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In 1998, Joris Luyendijk was stationed just outside of Cairo. It wasn’t for his journalism skills. It was because he was fluent in Arabic. What followed—from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the post 9/11 war in Iraq—would be literal trial-by-fire for the young untested reporter. What he had going for him was his ability to communicate. Determined to cover the conflicts from the inside, Luyendijk spoke with stone throwers and staunch terrorists, taxi drivers, civil servants and professors, victims and aggressors, and all of their families. He chronicled first-hand experiences of dictatorship, occupation, fear, resilience, jubilation, and community. But the more Luyendijk witnessed, the less he understood. He became increasingly aware of the yawning gap between what he witnessed on the ground and what was being reported by the media. As a correspondent, he was privy to a multitude of narratives with conflicting implications, and he saw over and over again that the favored stories were those that would be sure to confirm the popularly held, oversimplified beliefs of the outside world. “Disturbing, thought-provoking, and ultimately profound,” People Like Us shatters our perceptions of what we’re led to believe—a filtered, altered, and manipulated image of reality in the Middle East that has become a wholly designed theater of war for the western audience (Norman Solomon, author of War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death).

In Red Line, Joby Warrick, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Black Flags, shares the thrilling unknown story of America’s mission in Syria: to find and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons and keep them out of the hands of the Islamic State. In August 2012, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was clinging to power in a vicious civil war. When secret intelligence revealed that the dictator might resort to using chemical weapons, President Obama warned that doing so would cross “a red line.” Assad did it anyway, bombing the Damascus suburb of Ghouta with sarin gas, killing hundreds of civilians, and forcing Obama to decide if he would mire America in another unpopular war in the Middle East. When Russia offered to broker the removal of Syria’s chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out. So began an electrifying race to find, remove, and destroy 1,300 tons of chemical weapons in the midst of a raging civil war. The extraordinary little-known effort is a triumph for the Americans, but soon Russia’s long game becomes clear: it will do anything to preserve Assad’s rule. As America’s ability to control events in Syria shrinks, the White House learns that ISIS, building its caliphate in Syria’s war-tossed territory, is seeking chemical weapons for itself, with an eye to attack the West. Drawing on astonishing original reporting, Warrick crafts a character-driven narrative that reveals how the United States embarked on a bold adventure to prevent one catastrophe but could not avoid a tragic chain of events that led to another.

The men's 100m final at the 1988 Olympics has been described as the dirtiest race ever - but also the greatest. Aside from Johnson's blistering time, the race is infamous for its athletes' positive drug tests. This is the story of that race, the rivalry between Johnson and Lewis, and the repercussions still felt almost a quarter of a century on.
