Trevor Noahs bijzondere levensverhaal - van een arme jeugd onder de apartheid in Zuid-Afrika tot geliefde comedian en presentator van The Daily Show - begon met een misdaad: zijn geboorte. Hij werd, hoewel gemengde relaties verboden waren, geboren als zoon van een blanke Europese vader en een zwarte Xhosa-moeder, die voor de buitenwereld moest doen alsof ze zijn nanny was in de weinige momenten dat ze als gezin samen waren. Zijn briljante, excentrieke moeder speelde een hoofdrol in zijn leven: ze was komisch en diepgelovig (ze gingen zes dagen per week naar de kerk en op zondag zelfs drie keer), en hielp Trevor op zijn hobbelige weg naar wereldfaam. Trevors belevenissen zijn afwisselend bizar, gevoelig en hilarisch. Zo vertelt hij hoe ze rupsen aten als er geen geld was, hoe hij uit een auto werd geslingerd tijdens een poging tot kidnapping, en over tienerverliefdheden in een door huidskleur geobsedeerde maatschappij. Zijn verhalen schetsen een onvergetelijk portret van een jongen die opgroeit in een snel veranderende wereld, gewapend met een scherp gevoel voor humor en onvoorwaardelijke moederliefde.

Dove l'erba cresce libera
Al di là del giardino c'è un bosco dove l'erba cresce rigogliosa e non ci sono regole. Non c'è la mamma che dà ordini e non bisogna rifarsi il letto, lavarsi i denti e pettinarsi i capelli. Un mondo sconosciuto e affascinante, in cui ci si può arrampicare su alberi altissimi, acchiappare nuvole, sconfiggere mostri. Chi non vorrebbe aprire il cancello e andare a esplorarlo? Ma alla fine di ogni avventura, resta sempre uno solo il posto in cui tornare: quello che chiamiamo casa. Età di lettura: da 6 anni.

Born a Crime
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid “Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Jamaican Animal-Named Herbs and Roots
If you are tired of going to the doctors, filling umpteen prescriptions, and taking hundreds of pills over the course of a lifetime with little to no results because you are still being plagued by the same illness, this book might be for you. It features over 70 different plants and herbs with medicinal and healing value. As you will see readers, we concluded the book with not only the herbs/roots that we believe is best suited for our needs by naming plants named for animals as well use of Jamaican herbs and roots, but we also demonstrated the plants' applicability in real life. For safety purposes, we have to issue this caution that you must visit with your medical team to discuss if this is the right approach for you before embarking on a course of these natural herbs and roots mostly in tea form. Good luck readers.

Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die
From one of today's hottest young comedians, a transgressive and hilarious deep dive into his favorite subject: relationshipsDaniel Sloss's comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter--all at the same time. He has two Netflix comedy specials: DARK, a brilliant, laugh-out-loud meditation on our relationship with death, and Jigsaw, which needles apart the ideas of love, romantic relationships, and marriage--and, according to Sloss, singlehandedly caused 185 divorces and 95,000 breakups (he's got the tweets to back up those numbers). His HBO special, Daniel Sloss Live: X, is a miraculous 85 minutes on the topic of male toxicity. Now, in his first book, he picks up where Jigsaw and his other specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship--with one's country (Daniel's is Scotland), with America, with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you, with parents, with best friends (male and female), not-best friends, with children, and with siblings. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every relationship gets the hilarious, brutal (but always incisive) Sloss treatment as he explains why all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful--but, just maybe, also valuable and meaningful.

Nato fuori legge. Storia di un'infanzia sudafricana
Nato nel Sudafrica dell'apartheid da madre xhosa e padre bianco, Trevor è colored: né bianco né nero, un'anomalia intollerabile per il rigido sistema razziale sudafricano. Destinato a un'esistenza 'fuori legge', Trevor se la cava splendidamente poiché la sua infanzia, spericolata e indimenticabile, è orchestrata da una madre più potente del tuono: Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, un magma di contraddizioni stupendamente africane. È bigotta e ribelle, severa e anticonformista, e soprattutto ha fiducia nel fatto che tutto è possibile, di qualsiasi colore sia la tua pelle: l'importante è andare a scuola, imparare l'inglese, fare quello che si pensa sia giusto e rifiutare le leggi sbagliate e illogiche inventate dagli uomini. Ragazzino impacciato di fronte alle prime esperienze sentimentali, poi esperto di pirateria musicale e organizzatore di feste clandestine nelle townships di Johannesburg, Trevor ripercorre la sua vicenda senza retorica, sempre sul filo di un'irresistibile vena ironica che lo affranca dal ruolo di vittima e rende il suo racconto più forte di qualsiasi denuncia. Non teorizza nulla, mostra se stesso, il 'bastardo': la sua mescolanza razziale sfida l'ingiustizia del sistema e ne mette in luce l'insostenibilità e l'incoerenza. Mescolarsi è la vera rivoluzione e questa storia esplosiva e 'fuori legge' ne è la prova.
