In the years following the death of Jesus Christ, John the Apostle, now a frail, blind old man, lives in forced exile on the desolate island of Patmos with a small group of his disciples. It is against this turbulent background and inspired by Jesus's radical message of love and forgiveness that John comes to dictate his Gospel.

Genre? Fiction with fact , lots of descriptions but didn’t grip or keep attention. Struggled to finish . Book group choice.

Story4
"Stoner" - pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1965 - è stato per parecchio tempo uno dei grandi romanzi dimenticati della letteratura americana. John Williams racconta la vita di un uomo, Stoner appunto, che, nato in una famiglia di contadini poveri, finisce per scoprire dentro di sé una passione struggente per la letteratura e diventa professore. È la storia di un uomo che conduce una vita semplice al limite della frugalità. Una vita che lascia poche tracce.

Story0
William Stoner bliver i slutningen af det 19. århundrede født ind i en fattig bondefamilie i Missouri, USA. Som ung går han på landbrugsskole, men drages af litteraturens verden. Han vender aldrig hjem til forældrenes gård og vælger i stedet det akademiske liv, hvor bøgerne og litteraturen forbliver hans faste holdepunkt - også når konflikter og skuffelser truer med at ødelægge hans tilværelse. Bogen blev første gang udgivet i 1965, siden genudgivet i 2006 i USA, hvorefter mange forlag verden over fik øjnene op for romanen. Den er nu en international bestseller. "Stoner" er et fascinerende, velskrevet og rørende portræt af en helt almindelig mand, hvis liv man ikke kan undgå at blive berørt af. Det er en roman om identitet, om livet, om de valg, vi træffer.

William Stoner wird 1891 als Sohn armer Farmer in Missouri geboren. Das Landwirtschaftsstudium lässt er ohne Reue hinter sich, als er seine Liebe zur Literatur entdeckt. Hart arbeitet er für seinen Aufstieg, bringt es bis zum Professor. Doch sonst ist sein Leben enttäuschungsreich: Seine Ehefrau entpuppt sich als gefühlskalte Intrigantin, die seine enge Beziehung zur Tochter zerstört, die leidenschaftliche Liebe zu einer Studentin muss er aufgeben. Und ein Widersacher an der Uni setzt alles daran, Stoners Reputation zu beschädigen. Ein großartiger Roman über einen Mann, der seine Würde durch alle Widernisse rettet.

In Lincoln's Bodyguard, an alternative version of American history, President Lincoln is saved from assassination. Though he prophesied his own death - the only way he believed the South would truly surrender - Lincoln never accounted for the heroics of his bodyguard, Joseph Foster. A biracial mix of white and Miami Indian, Joseph makes an enemy of the South by killing John Wilkes Booth and preventing the death of the president.
