PETUALANGAN MIGUEL LITTIN

KLANDESTIN DI CHILE

Miguel littin, warga negara chile yang dilarang pulang ke negerinya oleh pemerintahan Pinochet, masuk dengan cara menyamar selama enam minggu. Ia menyutradarai dengan perantaraan orang lain dan hadir di tengah-tengah pengambilan gambar sebagai orang yang tidak dikenal. Ia mengolok-olokpemerintahan diktator dan menempelkan "buntut keledai" kepada kekuasaan yang menekan negerinya dalam bentuk rekaman film sepanjang lebih dari 100.000kaki.

Setelah petualangannya itu, ia berjumpa dengan Gabriel Garcia Marquez, penulis kolumbia peraih hadiah Nobel sastra tahun 1982. Pertemuan mereka melahirkan sebuah buku berjudul La Aventura de Miguel Littin Clandestine de Chile (Petualangan Miguel Littin Klandestin di Chile) yang ditulis berdasarkan wawancara intens selama 18 jam.

"Ketika ia (Marguez) menunjukkan manuskrip tersebut," katanya, "Saya serta merta merasa takut. Narasinya sama kasar dan sama spontannya dengan apa yang saya sampaikan dalam percakapan kami."

Bersamaan dengan beredarnya film dokumenter Littin pemerintahan Pinochet membakar 12.000 eksemplar buku tersebut begitu tiba di pelabuhan Chile.

Life turns out 

   in ways you 

never expected

The eighteen million women born in the first years of the baby boom grow up anticipating a life of rules-go to college, get married, have a family. But when the time came, the cultural, social and political tumult of the late 1960s catapulted them into options that no previous generation had even considered.

 The Women Who Broke All The Rules is the first book to celebrate the ordinary but extra ordinary women who made decisions that have changed every woman's life. Agains extreme odds and without role models, these women made  unprecendentedlife choices-in marriage, childbearing, education and work. By breaking every rule in the "good girl" hand book, they defined new ways for adult women to live.

You will recognize yourself, your family and your friends in these pages.

"I have often thought of myself and my friends  as traditional figures, more sure of where we were coming from than where we were going. Friends of mine have described our coming of age as being on the cusp of chance that fundamentally redefined the role of women."

-Hillary Rodham Clinton-

Lily has grown up believing she accidentally killed her mother when she was just four years old. Now, at fourteen, she yearns for forgiveness and a mother's love. Living on a peach farm in South Carolina with her father, her only friend is Rosaleen, a black servant.

When racial tension explodes one summer afternoon, and Rosaleen is arrested and beaten, Lily is compelled to act. Fugitives from justice, the pair follow a trail left by the woman who died ten year before. Finding sanctuary in the home of three beekeeping sisters, Lily starts a journey as much about her understanding of the world, as about the mystery surrounding her mother.

Buku ini ditujukan secara khusus bagi para jurnalis dan praktisi media. Namun buku ini juga dapat dibaca oleh aktivis studi konflik dan pendamping masyarakat di wilayah konflik. Harapan kami, para jurnalis dapat merefleksikan paradigma apa yang cocok dalam melihat konflik di tingkat lokal maupun nasional, mulai dari konflik horizontal dengan nuansa agama, suku, identitas pekerjaan, sampai konflik politik yang melibatkan massa bayaran atau konstituen tradisional. selain itu, buku ini berharap dapat memberi inspirasi bagi berbagai elemen masyarakat untuk secara bersama menyusun alternatif dalam mengabarkan konflik.

The Odyssey 

HOMER

'the oldest book worth reading for its story, and the first novel of europe'. T.E. Lawrence.

As well as being one of the greatest and most influential books ever written, The Odyssey is the finest of adventure stories. It tells of the ten-year  wanderings of Odysseus after the fall of  Troy, of his encounters with drug addicts, cannibals, nymphs and monsters, and of his struggles for the favour of the capricious gods.

T.E. Lawrence, 'Lawrence of Arabia', was a scholar as well as a soldier, and his senitive and accessible translation of The Odyssey is one of his finest works.

The original of this edition was designed by Bruce Rogers and published in New York in 1932. This impression is a reprint of the 1935 english edition.

The massively bestselling account

of the titanic struggle to dominate a machine ...

The making of the 32-bit mini komputer, eagle, was a colossus of an enterprise, demanding the waking hours and sleeping thoughts of a brilliant and aggresive team of young computer wizards who worked for the multi-million-dollar American company, Data General.

They were given one year: day-by-day, wire-by-wire, the 'microkids' traced and retraced Eagle's labyrinthine arteries, fought back at its tantrums and wooed its obedience. It forced them to the limits of their endurance.

'Kidder has written with a reporter's eye, a novelist's heart and a technician's understanding...brilliant, concise and original'-

PLAYBOY

'All the incredible complexity and chaos and exploitation and loneliness and strange,

half-mad beaty of this field'-

ROBERT PIRSIG, AUTHOR OF ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE

'You are going to have a marvellous time reading Tracy Kidder's book...

A double barreled success'-
