________________'This anthology will help turn your intellectual understanding of oppression into an emotional one' - New Statesman'Thanks for being who you are and for giving us such exposure to wonderful people. Palestine is proud of you' - Suad Amiry________________The Palestine Festival of Literature was established in 2008. Bringing together writers from all corners of the globe, it aims to help Palestinians break the cultural siege imposed by the Israeli military occupation, to strengthen their artistic links with the rest of the world, and to reaffirm, in the words of Edward Said, ‘the power of culture over the culture of power’.Celebrating the tenth anniversary of PalFest, This Is Not a Border is a collection of essays, poems and stories from some of the world’s most distinguished artists, responding to their experiences at this unique festival.

I 1600TALETS AMSTERDAM SKENAR HANDELN MED TULPANLÖKAR. TULPANFEBERN ÄR ETT FAKTUM.
Den välbärgade köpmannen Cornelis Sandvoort anlitarkonstnären Jan von Loos för att måla ett porträtt av honom och hans unga hustru Sophia. Ett ödesdigert beslut som resulterar i oväntad passion, svek och lögner. Målningen växer fram penseldrag för penseldrag, i samma takt som passionen mellan konstnären och Sophia. Har de en gemensam framtid att se fram emot eller ska deras sköra lycka spricka liksom den överhettade tulpanlöksmarknaden?
Sommaren 2017 är Tulpanfeber aktuell som film i regi av Justin Chadwick med Oscar©vinnaren Alicia Wikander i huvudrollen och Dane Dehaan, Cara Delevingne, Judi Dench och Christoph Waltz i övriga roller.
”Mycket fängslande! Tulpanfeber rekommenderas varmt!” HENNES
''En berättelse om kärlek, svek och personförväxlingar värdig en dramaförfattare från restaurationstiden.'' DAILY MAIL
”Raffinerad intrig och en bok att älska” JÖNKÖPINGSPOSTEN
Tulpanfeber utspelas under 1630-talets tulpangalenskap i Amsterdam. Istället för i aktier spekulerar man i tulpanlökar. Framgångsrika män låter måla sitt porträtt. Konstnären Jan van Loos får i uppdrag att måla av den förmögne gamla mannen Cornelis Sandvoort och hans unga hustru Sophia. Målningen växer fram penseldrag för penseldrag och i samma takt utvecklas en passion mellan konstnären och den unga Sophia. Snart är de indragna i en förbjuden relation med hemliga möten som blir allt djärvare och drömmar om en våghalsig flykt. Men passionen har ett pris...
