Story
Efter Japans nederlag under anden verdenskrig, var landet blot en skygge af det imponerende kejserdømme, det havde været i årtusinder før krigen. De japanske soldater blev henrettet på stribe for deres krigsforbrydelser, men paradoksalt nok lod man kejseren gå fri. Karl Eskelund besøgte landet i de vaklende efterkrigsår og talte med japanske borger, politikere og rettighedsforkæmpere om dette paradoks og meget andet. Bogen giver et unikt indblik i japanernes forsøg på at rejse sig som nation og finde en plads i den nye verdensorden. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk for

Story
Karl Eskelund og hans rejsemakker og hustru, Chi-Yun, drog i starten af 1960‘erne til Persien, som på det tidspunkt havde været regeret af en shah i 2500 år. Derfra beretter de om et land, hvor forskellige folkeslag, styreformer og religioner, gamle og nye traditioner stod overfor hinanden i skarp kontrast. Bogen giver et unikt indblik i det iranske samfund og dets kultur i årene før den islamiske revolution i 1979, der ikke bare afskaffede det 2500 år gamle monarki, men også gjorde op med tusindvis af kritikere og oldgamle traditioner.

Story
Få år efter at Indien endelig var blevet et selvstændigt land, kørte Karl Eskelund og hans kone, Chi-Yun rundt for at opleve landets alsidighed og nye identitet efter hundrede år som vesteuropæisk koloni. Det de så på deres vej, var ikke ligefrem et glansbillede, og Karl Eskelund lægger ikke fingre imellem, når han beskriver Indiens store udfordringer og kolonialisme grusomme spor. Alligevel bevarer han sin varme tone og lader også nogle muntre og interessante anekdoter bryde den alvorlige stemning. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk forfatter og journalist, der skrev en la

Karl Eskelund og hans trofaste rejsemakker og hustru, Chi-Yun, er draget afsted til Filippinerne for at udforske landets utallige og utroligt alsidige små og store øer. Turen begynder i hovedstaden Manilla, der i 1963 var en af de farligste byer i verden. Derfra besøger de blandt andet nogle primitive øsamfund, og undervejs møder de både pygmæer og hovedjægere. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk forfatter og journalist, der skrev en lang række reportager og bøger om sine rejser rundt om i verden.

Story
Da den danske eventyrer og rejseskribent Karl Eskelund besøger Nepal i 1960‘erne, er det som at komme til et magisk sted fra en helt anden tid. De mennesker, han møder, tager ham med op i smukke bjergområder og ned i mytiske dale. De introducerer ham for tiggere såvel som for gudinder, og han får endda også lov til at møde en konge. Han kunne aldrig glemme Nepal efter denne rejse, og det samme gælder måske for læseren af denne bog.

Story
Den anerkendte rejseskribent Karl Eskelund havde ikke sin eventyrlyst fra fremmede, for følelsen af udlængsel delte han med sin far Niels. Som ung rejste Niels til Bangkok, hvor han slog sig ned som tandlæge og blandt andet fik selveste kongen af Siam som fast patient i sin tandlægestol. Siden drev det heftige asiatiske klima ham tilbage til Danmark, men fædrelandet kunne ikke holde på ham i ret lang tid. Sammen med sin hustru vendte han tilbage til Østen, denne gang Shanghai, hvorfra han gennemlevede den forfærdelige anden verdenskrig.

Story
Karl Eskelund og hans trofaste rejsefælle og hustru, Chi-Yun, rejser gennem Brasilien for at opleve landets fantastiske natur, kultur og befolkning. De møder både topmoderne brasilianere, hvis liv minder meget om det, parret kender fra europæiske storbyer, men de besøger også brasilianere, der lever næsten som man gjorde før europæisk indflydelse. Selvom noget af bogens sprogbrug kan virke stødende og racistisk i dag, giver bogen genlyd af en gennemgående respekt og godmodig interesse for alle de mennesker, parret møder på deres vej.

Story
I 1960 rejste Karl Eskelund til det afrikanske kontinent for anden gang. Meget var forandret siden hans første besøg, for i 1950'erne var afkolonisering for alvor blevet sat i gang. De indfødte afrikanere ville ikke længere finde sig i europæernes overherredømme, og Eskelund, der var en mester i at observere og få høj som lav i snak, beretter om den revolutionære stemning, der opstod i kølvandet på kolonitiden.

Gretes far er dansk skibskaptajn og hendes mor er fra Kina. Hun vokser op i Danmark, men da faren dør, flytter hun til Kina for at bo hos sin mors familie. Selvom morens kinesiske familie er fornem og velhavende, bliver livet som europæisk halvkastebarn i det traditionelle Shanghai en daglig kamp for den lille pige. Igennem Grete, der må skifte navn til Mei-yu, viser Karl Eskelund os livet i mellemkrigstidens Kinas finere kredse - et miljø han selv kendte til fra sin ungdom og sit ægteskab med en kinesisk kvinde.

Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk forfatter og journalist, der skrev en lang række reportager og bøger om sine rejser rundt om i verden.

Ti år efter besøger han Indien for anden gang, og han skriver denne bog om landets udvikling og situation. Hvert kapitel i bogen omhandler et emne eller en problematik, som Indien er konfronteret med i 1967: kastesystemet, overbefolkningen, religionernes betydning, kvinders vilkår, de hellige mænd, fattigdom og politiske spændinger.

As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different people: one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin.

Story
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
