Showing results for "Anna" in Activists

We are told that love conquers all, but what happens when you don’t have the right passport? Love Across Borders takes listeners through contentious frontiers around the world, from Turkey to Iraq, Syria to Greece, Mexico to the United States, to reveal the wide-spread prejudicial laws intent on dividing us. Lekas Miller tells her own gripping story of meeting Salem Rizk, in Istanbul, where they were both reporting on the Syrian civil war.

Ihre Mission als Journalistin und politische Aktivistin: denen eine Stimme zu geben, die keine mehr hatten.

Patrick Zaki in questo libro racconta la sua storia: cosa è successo davvero quel giorno e cosa è avvenuto poi, nei giorni successivi: gli interrogatori, l’isolamento, le torture, il confronto con un mondo – quello delle carceri – in cui tutti sono ridotti a una condizione disumana. E cosa lo ha tenuto vivo: gli studi, la passione per il calcio, la musica, l’affetto dei suoi cari, dell’amata Reny, dell’Italia tutta.

Ett liv är fullt av äventyr. Stort som smått. Men i jämförelse med Birgitta Stenbergs liv så ter sig det mesta ynkligt och trist. Detta är en bok som har allt: spänning, romantik, äventyr och kärlek. Som ung författare umgicks hon med Fellini och Bergman. Hon raggade upp en italiensk superstjärna, inledde en passionerad romans för att sedan hamna mitt i en maffiauppgörelse. Hon gjorde långa resor till exotiska platser, men när hon ville hitta sig själv arbetade hon som fiskare i Sverige.
