‘Thom Hoffman vindt een nieuwe vorm voor koloniale geschiedschrijving.’ Kester Freriks NRC ‘Razend interessant. Wij sluiten het boek om het vervolgens weer te openen, voor iedereen. Omdat het belangrijk is. Indië, betovering en desillusie: een persoonlijke zoektocht naar een verborgen geschiedenis die net iets minder verborgen is geworden dankzij Thom Hoffman.’ Ruth Joos en Wilfried de Jong in Brommer op zee ‘De liefde van de schrijver voor het land is, ondanks de desillusie, voelbaar in elk hoofdstuk.’ Femke van der Laan in Nooit Meer Slapen ‘Thom Hoffman heeft iets bijzonders gedaan. Dertig jaar geleden kende hij dankzij zijn grootvader vooral de warme herinneringen aan de Indische sfeer en het lekkere eten. Maar hij is veel over Nederlands-Indië gaan lezen. Subtiel ontvouwt hij de wrede kant van de geschiedenis. Begeleid door prachtige illustraties, oude affiches en foto’s.’ Mascha Sluijter (Boekhandel Los) in AD MEZZA ‘Toch zijn het niet alleen maar losse stukjes zoals in een encyclopedie die hij ons voorschotelt. Het is juist zijn persoonlijke zoektocht in de ondertitel die dit boek bijzonder maakt en die de losse delen aan elkaar verbindt. [...] Het zijn die delen in het boek waarin zijn persoonlijke betrokkenheid tot uiting komt en verklaren waarom hij dit allemaal doet.’ Moesson ‘Een compliment aan Thom Hoffman voor dit fabuleuze resultaat van een zoektocht die ooit begon met zijn spreekbeurt op de middelbare school in 1969.’ Azië Magazine Hoffmans jarenlange zoektocht naar het werkelijke Indië, vanaf het begin van de VOC tot aan de onafhankelijkheid van Indonesië, vindt zijn eindpunt in dit boek ‘Boven mijn jongensbed hing een Sumatraanse tijger.’ Zo begint Thom Hoffmans fascinerende en beeldende reis door de tijd. Onder een imposante tijgerkop droomde hij als 13-jarige over het sepiagekleurde Nederlands-Indië, het land van zijn grootouders. Oma en opa overleden kort na elkaar. Hoe was hun leven in Indië geweest? Omdat Thom zijn lievelingsoma geen vragen meer kon stellen, ging hij op zoek naar antwoorden. Geraakt door Couperus, Multatuli, Kousbroek, Kartini, Székely-Lulofs en andere schrijvers, en door films en documentaires, maakte Hoffman de afgelopen dertig jaar een persoonlijke reis. Hij begon met het verzamelen van boeken over Nederlands-Indië en hoe meer hij las, hoe duidelijker de contouren zich aftekenden van de kolonie onder Nederlands gezag, van de VOC tot aan de soevereiniteitsoverdracht in 1949. Een geschiedenis die ver uitstijgt boven familieverledens. Indië als decor voor betovering, mysterie en schandaal, maar ook het strijdtoneel voor opvattingen over verandering. Het Indonesisch vrijheidsstreven leefde op. Hoe ging Nederland daarmee om? Boeiende persoonlijkheden als Jacob Haafner, baron Van Hoëvell, Kartini, Tan Malaka, Hatta en Soekarno completeren een caleidoscopisch en vaak aangrijpend beeld. Indië, betovering en desillusie is een boeiende en persoonlijke zoektocht naar de waarheid achter deze voormalige Nederlandse kolonie. In de pers OVER THOM HOFFMAN ‘Geef die man een filmprogramma! – Hoffman is een geboren verteller.’ Het Parool OVER HOFFMANS FOTOTENTOONSTELLING ‘DOSSIER INDI˒ ‘De klassieke fotografie van Nederlands-Indië, waar “mooi” de maatstaf was, kantelt in Hoffmans visie en krijgt een zwarte schaduw. De tentoonstelling weet beslist het hart en geweten van nu te raken. Indrukwekkend en beklemmend.’ **** NRC Handelsblad

“Craig wields powerful and vivid prose to illuminate a country and a family trapped not only by war and revolution, but also by desire and loss.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Miss Burma tells the story of modern-day Burma through the eyes of Benny and Khin, husband and wife, and their daughter Louisa. After attending school in Calcutta, Benny settles in Rangoon, then part of the British Empire, and falls in love with Khin, a woman who is part of a long-persecuted ethnic minority group, the Karen. World War II comes to Southeast Asia, and Benny and Khin must go into hiding in the eastern part of the country during the Japanese occupation, beginning a journey that will lead them to change the country’s history. Years later, Benny and Khin’s eldest child, Louisa, has a danger-filled, tempestuous childhood and reaches prominence as Burma’s first beauty queen soon before the country falls to dictatorship. As Louisa navigates her newfound fame, she is forced to reckon with her family’s past, the West’s ongoing covert dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the cause of the Karen people. Based on the story of the author’s mother and grandparents, Miss Burma is a captivating portrait of how modern Burma came to be and of the ordinary people swept up in the struggle for self-determination and freedom. “At once beautiful and heartbreaking . . . An incredible family saga.” —Refinery29 “Miss Burma charts both a political history and a deeply personal one—and of those incendiary moments when private and public motivations overlap.” —Los Angeles Times

The Oliver Stone Experience written by Matt Zoller Seitz and has been published by Abrams this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-09-13 with Performing Arts categories.
Stone himself serves as guide to this no-holds-barred retrospective—an extremely candid and comprehensive monograph of the renowned and controversial writer, director, and cinematic historian in interview form. Over the course of five years, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone (Midnight Express, Scarface, Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Snowden) and New York Times bestselling author Matt Zoller Seitz (The Wes Anderson Collection) discussed, debated, and deconstructed the arc of Stone's outspoken, controversial life and career with extraordinary candor. This book collects those conversations for the first time, including anecdotes about Stone's childhood, Vietnam, his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder, and his continual struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. Their dialogue is illustrated by hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and documents from Stone's personal archive, dating back to Stone's birth: personal snapshots, private correspondence, annotated script pages and storyboards, behind-the-scenes photography, and production files from all of his films to date—through 2016's Snowden, and including Stone's epic Showtime mini-series Untold HIstory of the United States. Critical commentary from Seitz on each of Stone's films is joined by original essays from filmmaker Ramin Bahrani; writer, editor, and educator Kiese Laymon; writer and actor Jim Beaver; and film critics Walter Chaw, Michael Guarnieri, Kim Morgan, and Alissa Wilkinson. At once a complex analysis of a master director’s vision and a painfully honest critical biography in widescreen technicolor, The Oliver Stone Experience is as daring, intense, and provocative as Stone’s films—it's an Oliver Stone movie about Oliver Stone, in the form of a book. Both this book and Stone’s highly anticipated film, Snowden, will be released in September 2016 to coincide with Stone’s seventieth birthday (September 15, 1946). Also available from Matt Zoller Seitz: Mad Men Carousel, The Wes Anderson Collection: Bad Dads, The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The Wes Anderson Collection.

"Arto Nolan is the father's name; his son Alan strives to overcome his loathing and comprehend the man who abused him and beat his mother. His father spent his evenings typing on his Remington. Later, Alan discovers his father had been working on his memoirs. He reads about Arto's ruthless work as an interpreter who not only translated but also led interrogations, tortured prisoners, and did not hesitate to murder. Arto's passages are chilling in their detachment. He first describes how he was abused as a child by his own father. He later became an assassin. At first his targets were Japanese; after the occupation ended, he murdered Indonesians in the service of the Dutch, without question. The source of his loyalty to his overlords, from a country he had never seen, remains a mystery. In this unsparing family history, Birney exposes a crucial chapter in Dutch and European history that was deliberately concealed behind the ideological facade of postwar optimism."--Provided by publisher.

The Polish Boxer covers a vast landscape of human experience while enfolding a search for origins: a grandson tries to make sense of his grandfather's past and the story behind his numbered tattoo; a Serbian classical pianist longs for his forbidden heritage; a Mayan poet is torn between his studies and filial obligations; a striking young Israeli woman seeks answers in Central America; a university professor yearns for knowledge that he can't find in books and discovers something unexpected at a Mark Twain conference. Drawn to what lies beyond the range of reason, they all reach for the beautiful and fleeting, whether through humour, music, poetry, or unspoken words. Across his encounters with each of them, the narrator - a Guatemalan literature professor and writer named Eduardo Halfon - pursues his most enigmatic subject: himself. Mapping the geography of identity in a world scarred by a legacy of violence and exile, The Polish Boxer marks the debut of a major new Latin American voice in English.

'Just *wonderful*. A breath of fresh air in a book. Sal is a story with incredible heart, told so beautifully and with such clarity and grace I can hardly believe it's a debut! I loved it' JOANNA CANNON, author of THE TROUBLE WITH GOATS AND SHEEP AN OBSERVER 'NEW FACE OF FICTION 2018' This is a story of something like survival. Sal planned it for almost a year before they ran. She nicked an Ordnance Survey map from the school library. She bought a compass, a Bear Grylls knife, waterproofs and a first aid kit from Amazon using stolen credit cards. She read the SAS Survival Handbook and watched loads of YouTube videos. And now Sal knows a lot of stuff. Like how to build a shelter and start a fire. How to estimate distances, snare rabbits and shoot an airgun. And how to protect her sister, Peppa. Because Peppa is ten, which is how old Sal was when Robert started on her. Told in Sal's distinctive voice, and filled with the silent, dizzying beauty of rural Scotland, Sal is a disturbing, uplifting story of survival, of the kindness of strangers, and the irrepressible power of sisterly love; a love that can lead us to do extraordinary and unimaginable things.

Abandoned by their parents, the pupils here receive lessons in violence and neglect. At eighteen, Lela is old enough to leave, but with nowhere to go she stays and plans, both for her own escape and for the future she hopes to give Irakli, a young boy at the school. When a couple from the USA decide they want to adopt a child, Lela is determined to do everything she can to help Irakli make the most of this chance.
