A moving and inspiring memoir by Afghanistan's youngest female mayor and human rights campaigner. I am one of the lucky ones, having escaped Afghanistan when the Taliban retook the country. Millions remain under one of the world’s most repressive regimes, where progress for women has been brutally reversed. Every day, I yearn for my motherland and feel a duty to ensure the world knows what is happening to women there. Zarifa Ghafari began her education in secret at age three when the Taliban banned girls from schools, and she was seven when American airstrikes began. At twenty-six, she became the only female mayor in Maidan Wardak, Kabul. Facing an extremist mob that barred her from her office, she endured six assassination attempts and the murder of her father. Despite these threats, she fought against corruption, promoted peace, and uplifted women. After the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, she fled on one of the last flights out, finding refuge in Germany. This memoir offers a unique perspective on Afghanistan's last two decades, detailing her work, the women she continues to support under Taliban rule, and her vision for grassroots activism to change lives everywhere. Written with honesty, pain, and hope, it is a testament to resilience and courage.

Két női vállalkozó úttörője egy olyan sagában, amely elnyeri a bátorságra és függetlenségre vágyó olvasók tetszését. Berlín, 1926. Sophia, húszas évei elején járó fiatal nő, katasztrofális élethelyzettel néz szembe: első szerelme rosszul végződött, apja elfordult tőle, és már nem tudja folytatni a kémiai tanulmányait. Egyedül barátnője, Henny, a kabarétáncos támogatja, ezért úgy dönt, hogy követi őt Párizsba, hogy újrakezdje életét. Itt találkozik Helena Rubinstein szépségszalonjával, aki sikeres vállalkozó a smink világában. Sophia lenyűgöző ötlete, hogy különleges krémet készít Helena számára, lehetőséget ad neki egy munkára, de ennek ára van: tíz évig nem házasodhat, mivel a házasság korlátozza a női autonómiát. Helena ambiciózus projektbe vonja be Sophit, hogy új kozmetikai vonalat indítsanak érett nők számára, kihívást jelentve Elizabeth Arden számára. Azonban New York tele van kísértésekkel, és Sophia, aki azt hitte, hogy lezárta a férfiakkal kapcsolatos fejezetet, egy vonzó tervező, Darren O’Connor társaságában találja magát, aki megkérdőjelezi Helena hűségi paktumát.

Che si tratti del desiderio di rilassamento e equilibrio interiore, della ricerca di significato nella vita o di temi esistenziali come amore, amicizia, perdita e morte, nei classici come Buddha, Confucio, Laozi e in insegnamenti moderni come quelli di Drukpa Rinpoche, Thich Nhat Hanh o del Dalai Lama si trovano pensieri fondamentali e universali. Bettina Lemke offre un accesso semplice alle idee orientali e propone una ricchezza di spiegazioni ispiratrici e consigli pratici per la vita quotidiana.

The girls know this isn’t true, though: Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day. But Ellie refuses to swap back... And so begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen. And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day but also herself – until eventually only ‘Smudge’ is left. Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister’s dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist? Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant psychological drama about family and identity – what makes us who we are and how very fragile it can be.
