Den underjordiske jernbane
Den underjordiske jernbane | Colson Whitehead
Romanen der har rystet Amerika. En sjlden gang imellem dukker der en bog op, der gr igennem marv og ben, flytter ind i en og bliver der for altid. Sdan en bog er Den underjordiske jernbane. OPRAH WINFREY Tnk, hvis Den underjordiske jernbane havde vret en rigtig jernbane med vogne og skinner under jorden. Hvis hver eneste station p den farlige tur mod nord havde budt p en ny chance en bedre udgave af Amerika for en slave p flugt i 1936. Den tanke har den anerkendte amerikanske forfatter, Colson Whitehead, skrevet igennem i sin strkt anmelderroste og prisbelnnede roman. Hovedpersonen er den sekstenrige Cora, der er slave p en bomuldsplantage i Georgia. Hun lever i daglig angst fornedrelse, men ogs med myten om sin mor, Mabel, der flygtede og klarede den. Cora og hendes ven, markslaven Ccar, begiver sig ud p den ddsensfarlige flugt, men den fanatiske slavejger, Ridgeway, som Mabel slap fra dengang, stter nu alt ind p at fange hendes datter og smadre det netvrk af mennesker, som hjlper de bortlbne. P sin rejse nordp m Cora ikke bare overliste Ridgeway og hans blodhunde, men ogs undg alle de andre slavejgere, stikkere og lynchgrupper, der huserer p ruten. Den underjordiske jernbane er en hrrejsende spndende roman om en ung kvindes nsten dyriske vilje til at overleve, og samtidig er det en banebrydende litterr prstation i sin beskrivelse af den mest brutale periode i amerikansk historie. Vinder af The National Book Award 2016 Vinder af The Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence Nomineret til The Kirkus Book Prize 2016 rets bog 2016 i Publishers Weekly En New York Times-bestseller En Washington Post-, Barnes & Nobles-, Wall Street Journal- og USA Today-bestseller Prsident Obamas Summer Read 2016 Oprahs Bookclub Pick, august 2106 Colson Whitehead er en af USAs mest anerkendte sknlitterre forfattere. Han har skrevet en rkke prisbelnnede bestsellerromaner, og i 2001 blev han frste gang nomineret til Pulitzer-prisen for sin roman John Henry Days. Den underjordiske jernbane blev hans store internationale gennembrud, og romanen sikrede ham i 2016 bde Pulitzer-prisen og National Book Award. Den er desuden belnnet med The Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence, Goodreads Choice Award for bedste historiske roman og The Tournament of Books.

The Glass Box. Truthfully this was almost a pan, but I do have admiration for those who put themselves out there and self-publish. It desperately needed a good editor, and there was too much focus on the “action” as Corey and Isabella are pursued by an “evil mastermind” who gets about 4 pages of backstory. I picked it up in an LFL because it was a book cross and I have dutifully sent it to a different state! #bookcrossing

Starring Jeremy Irons, among others, this upcoming movie tells of the 36-39 British colonial rule of Palestine. This set the stage for other violent occupations. Netanyahu is a war criminal and a thug who should be arrested. Hamas is definitely not an organization to admire. However, there's clear war crimes being committed in Palestine at the moment and you can hardly blame the population for their lack of good leadership. If that was the (Cont)

vivastory case, then *waves hands around* To be clear, I have no tolerance for anti-Semitic remarks, however I do believe massive war crimes, most likely genocide is being perpetrated against the Palestinians. The mental gymnastics aren't that hard, y,'all. Your own leaders can be a POS & their adversaries can also be a POS. Read some history,!! Or historical fiction!!! As my brother would say: SMH (edited) 2d
TheBookHippie I think Netanyahu is just like Trump evil and trying to avoid prison. I think Hamas is the devil incarnate. I think it‘s horrific everyday since Oct 7, 2023 I‘ve had people scream Free Palestine at me and every post I made. I love Judaism with my whole heart. That isn‘t a crime. It‘s ridiculous. It‘s like saying everyone here is responsible for Trump‘s actions. The Middle East has a long horrific past since day one. I wish there would be peace. ⬇️ 2d
TheBookHippie Women and children suffer horrifically in these wars and they are always chattel. 2d

TheBookHippie The colonial rule of Africa & the Middle East is horrific. 2d
vivastory @TheBookHippie What happened on October 7 was definitely an act of unimaginable terrorism, but IMHO Netanyahu has carried out his own acts. Only a couple of years ago did the flour massacre occur. I think that what really angers me is that it is the citizens: Israelites & Palestinians who are truly suffering, while Netanyahu and Hamas leaders are comfortable as can be. (edited) 2d
vivastory @TheBookHippie But I do agree, Netanyahu is VERY much like Trump. Both criminals hiding behind executive office to escape prosecution 2d
TheBookHippie @vivastory I think both things are true and both are horrific evil. Only I was “allowed” to only grieve one side. Innocent people did not deserve Oct 7 or any other evil perpetrated both sides against each other and/or its own people. It‘s so awful there are not words. I‘ve constantly given to Chef José world kitchen to feed Gaza and Hadassah. People have a hard time with nuance. Only winners here are the horrific men in power. 2d
TheBookHippie The poor citizens. I just grieve for the children. 2d
TheBookHippie There‘s a beautiful little poetry book by a Palestinian child. A must read. I can‘t think of the title but I‘ll look for it. It‘s a good way to feel it. (edited) 2d

Today is Dia De Los Muertos, Day Of The Dead, All Souls Day.

A Celebration when our loved ones who have journeyed on into the afterlife come to gather with their livings.

Ghosts and Spirits can visit us any day of they year, but Dia De Los Muertos is like a reunion.

This is a gathering of ghosts...children, family members, friends, ancestors, our animal babies, all of our loved ones.

To all Littens who celebrate, cheers to Magical Nostalgia.

What is time? I can‘t believe it‘s already November 2nd. I haven‘t checked today‘s #bookspin post yet. Here is my list for November. I‘m still carrying over a number of books that I own, but I also thought I would throw in the open option of library books.

Warning, the following is both political and Religious ✊🏼🥺✌🏼.

Never liked this quote. Never felt it held truth. Made me angry (infuriated) when I first encountered it in the Mel Gibson 2006 movie Apocalypto.

Now, I feel this quote holds weight.

Wrote the Haiku this morning. Not tagging because I wish to remain respectful.

#HaikuHive

AnnCrystal After watching the news early this morning, and learning about an attempted terrorist attack that possibly could have targeted OUR Children, I was thankful that it was prevented.

Then I realized that it was prevented by some of the very federal agents that I have come to refer to as barbarians.

Posted and deleted a lot this morning...realizing that I needed a bit to unrattle my head so that I can get my words to make sense.

AnnCrystal The current administration has destroyed the very symbolism of America and has successfully managed to divide so many Americans.

Today I pray to the Saints, on their Holy Feast Day. I Pray for the survival of Democracy and that America never again falls into another civil war.

That the people who need to understand the true meaning of patriotism, begin to realize what they are doing to OUR America.

AnnCrystal There has always been racist hatred against “many“ in American History. Is it not time to heal and Truly become United?

Found this on the web. Not familiar with the characters, yet it sweetly captures the essential meaning.

November 1st is Día de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels) and honors deceased children.

November 2nd is the main Día de los Muertos, dedicated to honoring all deceased loved ones, including children, friends, and our animal babies.

When confronted with things such as rodents, bugs, or predators, then yes, face-to-face, I‘m scared of them! The ironic thing is that while I‘m not afraid of horror movies and books, I AM afraid of the settings where those horrors take place—the woods (I think I would lose my MIND if I had to spend the night alone in the woods), basements and attics, cornfields (NOTHING good EVER happens there!), and creepy cemeteries! 😱

Not A Fairy! Not A Gnome?
A Petite Story By Ann Crystal
Fantasy
Art by Ann Crystal
#petitestoriesbyAnnCrystal

Somewhere in history, their name and story has been lost.

Not a fairy, not a gnome, yet they are often mistaken for these mystical spirits if someone is lucky enough to catch a glimpse.

Where they haunt hints about who they are, for it is books that summon these tiny people.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal A half dozen books are enough to attract one, but they mean no harm. Simply spirit guardians, they are protectors of libraries. Protectors of stories in every language, even those told in the ancient pictographs and petroglyphs. They guard the well-being of all readers.

Book worms and moths are their food, but their job is not to dust the books in their care. It is to guard against spirits from escaping books.

👇🏼
2w
AnnCrystal Good characters are not their concern. It is the archenemies, the villains, the hungry monsters, the bad and the cruel that must be kept from escaping.

So don't be scared of these mystical, little warriors if you ever happen to glance one amongst your books

Because they are indeed warriors, guarding reality from the mystical lands created by writers, authors, and poets.

Yay! I made top 2%!! But horror is my jam, which is why I couldn‘t pick just three books. 😁 Sorry, @dabbe ! Just FYI—A Short Stay in Hell is not traditional horror. It is a very unique story that will burrow in your head and stay there. One truly horrifying aspect of the story are the numbers (I hated math!) as you try to comprehend the staggering calculations of infinity. 👻👹🧛🏻‍♀️🧟‍♀️💀 #TLT #ThreeListThursday

It‘s time again, unbelievably, to think about next year‘s #AuthorAMonth! Please nominate authors you would like to see highlighted in the comments. I will organize them into genre categories again, I felt like that worked well for this year, so if you are inclined you can include the genre you think the author fits best (you don‘t have to, I will look them up if necessary)

Poll to follow in a week or so!
