Story1
A thousand years ago, the mighty Cahokian civilization dominated the North American continent. At the heart of the empire stood a vast city, teeming with tens of thousands of residents, traders, and travelers. The city of Cahokia sent settlers and priests throughout the continent, from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico, carrying word of the power of their gods. People who wouldn't bow to that power were conquered or slaughtered. Power rested in one being, Morning Star, a god resurrected in the body of a living man.

Few Hollywood films have had the impact of the original version of A Star Is Born. Released in 1937 and starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, it was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won two (for best original story and best cinematography). Since then, the movie has been remade three times, attesting to its continued allure. But none have matched the genius and wit of the original.

Med en blanding af fantasi og virkelighed fortælles om en 13-årig drengs opvækst i en mindre dansk provinsby. Pressen skrev: "Det er imponerende hvad Peter Mouritzen får ud af det danske sprog, og romanen er både meget grinagtig og meget rørende, men helt blottet for sentimentalitet. Det er en voksenbog om barndommen, men der er garanteret mange børn, der vil kunne fryde sig over den sataniske uskyld som sammen med sprogfornyelserne gør Peter Mouritzen til en overlegen mester i den danske romanklasse."

The remarkable stories in Born Into This are eye-opening, razor-sharp and entertaining, often all at once. From an Aboriginal ranger trying to instil some pride in wayward urban teens on the harsh islands off the coast of Tasmania, to those scraping by on the margins of White society railroaded into complex and compromised decisions, Adam Thompson presents a powerful indictment of colonialism and racism.

Happiness and sadness are locked in a dance. And so much is his fault. But against a richly depicted backdrop with deeply resonating characters, there are gifts, wisdom, and murder.
