Mitch Albom – författare

Efterlängtad nyutgåva av boken som berörde en hel värld!

Morrie Schwartz var Mitch Alboms favoritlärare, mentor och vän. På examensdagen lovar Mitch att hålla kontakten, men det dröjer tjugo år innan han hör av sig. Av en händelse får han se sin gamle lärare på teve; Morrie har drabbats av en nervsjukdom som långsamt förlamar hans kropp.

Mitch bestämmer sig för att besöka Morrie varje tisdag – precis som under skoltiden. De pratar om kärlek, äktenskap, känslor, förlåtelse, saknad och död. Deras vänskap blir en sista föreläsning fylld av visdom och erfarenhet, en lektion i konsten att leva.

Tisdagarna med Morrie är gripande läsning som stannar kvar länge. Boken har filmatiserats med Jack Lemon och Hank Azaria i rollerna.

Eddie arbetar som vaktmästare på ett nöjesfält. Han har, i sina egna ögon, levt ett fullkomligt meningslöst och ointressant liv. På sin åttiotreårsdag omkommer han i en tragisk olycka och vaknar upp i livet efter detta. Där inser han att himlen är en plats där man får sitt liv förklarat för sig. Eddie möter fem personer. Några som han känt, andra som kan ha varit främlingar. De visar på det vackra och värdefulla i hans ”meningslösa” liv, och avslöjar hemligheten bakom den ständiga frågan: Varför var jag där? Fem personer du möter i himlen vill på ett varmt och humoristiskt sätt hjälpa oss att förstå att inget liv är meningslöst och att vi alltid lämnar något efter oss. ”All kärlek vi har skapat finns kvar. Alla minnen finns kvar. Vi lever vidare i hjärtat på var och en som vi har berört och format medan vi levde.”

In his most stunning novel yet, the voice of Music narrates the tale of its most beloved disciple, young Frankie Presto, a war orphan raised by a blind music teacher in a small Spanish town. At nine years old, Frankie is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six precious strings. But Frankie's talent is touched by the gods, and his amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the 20th century, from classical to jazz to rock and roll, with his stunning talent affecting numerous stars along the way, including Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Carole King, Wynton Marsalis and even KISS. Frankie becomes a pop star himself. He makes records. He is adored. But his gift is also his burden, as he realizes, through his music, he can actually affect people's futures-with one string turning blue whenever a life is altered. At the height of his popularity, Frankie Presto vanishes. His legend grows. Only decades later, does he reappear-just before his spectacular death-to change one last life. With its Forest Gump -like romp through the music world, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is a classic in the making. A lifelong musician himself, Mitch Albom delivers a remarkable novel, infused with the message that "everyone joins a band in this life" and those connections change us all.

THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN is a wonderfully moving fable that addresses the meaning of life, and life after death, in the poignant way that made TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE such an astonishing book. The novel's protagonist is an elderly amusement park maintenance worker named Eddie who, while operating a ride called the 'Free Fall', dies while trying to save a young girl who gets in the way of a falling cart that hurtles to earth. Eddie goes to heaven, where he meets five people who were unexpectedly instrumental in some way in his life. While each guide takes him through heaven, Eddie learns a little bit more about what his time on earth meant, what he was supposed to have learned, and what his true purpose on earth was. Throughout there are dramatic flashbacks where we see scenes from his troubled childhood, his years in the army in the Philippines jungle, and with his first and only love, his wife Marguerite. THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN is the perfect book to follow TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE. Its compellingly affecting themes and lyrical writing will fascinate Mitch Albom's huge readership.
