    Odyssee

    Een hervertelling van het grootste epos aller tijden

    Na het internationale succes van Mythos, Helden en Troje vertelt Stephen Fry in dit laatste deel van zijn serie over de Griekse mythologie met zichtbaar schrijfplezier en zijn kenmerkende onderkoelde humor het verhaal van een van de beroemdste werken uit de klassieke oudheid: Homerus’ Odyssee. We volgen Odysseus nadat hij de gevallen stad Troje heeft verlaten. Tien lange jaren is hij onderweg naar huis, naar zijn vrouw Penelope op het eiland Ithaca. Onderweg vecht hij tegen monsters, moet hij verleidingen van godinnen weerstaan en lijdt hij onder de vloek van Poseidon. Lukt het hem om zijn weg terug te vinden?

    Mythos - Het geïllustreerde verhaal

    Niemand heeft lief, maakt ruzie, verlangt en bedriegt zo brutaal of briljant als de Griekse goden en godinnen. In Stephen Fry’s levendige hervertelling van de Griekse mythen zien we Athena geboren worden uit het hoofd van Zeus, Kronos en Gaia wraak nemen op Ouranos, huilen we mee met koning Midas en jagen we met de even beeldschone als meedogenloze Artemis. In Mythos – Het geïllustreerde verhaal komen de klassieke mythen nu tot leven in schitterende full colourtekeningen van Jesús Sotés.

    Off-White

    What is and isn't antisemitism? 'I cannot wait for Off-White to be read, debated and put into practice.' Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations. There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward. *** 'Timely and valuable... [Shabi's] key message is a vital one - that the fight against antisemitism is an essential part of the fight against all injustice and dehumanisation.' Observer, Book of the Week 'A masterpiece defined by moral clarity, humanity and insight.' Owen Jones 'An invaluable guide for anyone who seeks to understand issues over which we stumble far too often.' George Monbiot 'With a generous spirit and a humane compass, Rachel Shabi guides us through a minefield.' Gary Younge
