Voices from the Heart of Modern China Head and shoulders above almost all other new books about China, this unflinching and yearningly compassionate portrait of the lives and loves of ordinary Chinese workers is quite unforgettable' Simon Winchester Every year in China millions of migrant workers leave their rural towns to find jobs in the cities. These people are the driving forces behind China's economic boom: they work very hard and for little money to make the trainers, ornaments, designer handbags and toys which we buy. Through the lives of two young women, Chang vividly portrays a world where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a cell phone; where lying about your age, your education, and your work experience is often a requisite for getting ahead; where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. This is a

Disse 23 spændende historier kredser alle om emnet gys og giftmord. Det er en stærk cocktail, mesteren Tage la Cour har rystet sammen med ingredienser, der ikke er for folk med sarte nerver. Nogle af historierne er makabre og groteske, andre er humoristiske eller har en overraskende pointe. Men ingen af historierne er tamme eller kedelige. En række kendte danske tegnere har dryppet penslen i arsenik og deres illustrationer forhøjer virkningen af den udsøgte krimi-cocktail. (fra bagsiden) Indhold: J. S.

Fifteen-year-old Grainne alone after her mother s death is being taken back to Ireland from America by her grandmother. She will meet a father she has never known her heart pulled between a far-distant home and a family she cannot remember. On the rocky shores of Inis Muruch she will discover her own sexual identity even as she struggles to understand the forces that have torn her family apart. There is an island off the west coast of Ireland called Inis Muruch--the Island of the Mermaids--a world where myth is more powerful than truth and love can overcome even death.

Jim Gaffigan never imagined he would have his own kids. Though he grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family, Jim was satisfied with the nomadic, nocturnal life of a standup comedian, and was content to be "that weird uncle who lives in an apartment by himself in New York that everyone in the family speculates about." But all that changed when he married and found out his wife, Jeannie "is someone who gets pregnant looking at babies." Five kids later, the comedian whose riffs on everything from Hot Pockets to Jesus have scored millions of hits on YouTube, started to tweet about the mistakes and victories of his life as a dad. Those tweets struck such a chord that he soon passed the million followers mark.
