Bob Dylan's impact on popular music has been incalculable. Having transformed staid folk music into a vehicle for coruscating social commentary, he then swept away the romantic platitudes of rock 'n' roll with his searing intellect. <br/><br/>From the zeitgeist-encapsulating protest of 'Blowin' in the Wind' to the streetwise venom of 'Like a Rolling Stone', and from the stunning mid-sixties trilogy of albums - Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde - to Time Out of Mind, his stunning if world-weary comeback at the age of 56, Dylan's genius has endured, underpinned by the dazzling turn of phrase that has made him the pre-eminent poet of popular music. <br/><br/>Because Dylan's achievements have no equal, his career is the most chronicled in rock history. Here, Sean Egan presents a selection of the best writing on Dylan, both praise and criticism. Interviews, essays, features and reviews from Dylan intimates and scholars such as John Bauldie, Michael Gray, Nat Hentoff and Jules Siegel are interspersed with new narrative and reviews of every single album to create a comprehensive picture of the artist whose chimes of freedom still resound.

A Teenager's Journey - Surviving Adolescence [Bok / Pocket]

A heart-wrenching true story of love triumphing over the most unimaginable horror. Oprah described this story as 'the single greatest love story, in 22 years of doing this show, we've ever told on the air.' Herman Rosenblat was just 11 years old when German soldiers rounded up his family during a raid on a Jewish ghetto in Poland. Sent to Buchenwald, Herman was put to work in the crematorium, shovelling dead bodies into the furnace, trying to survive in a world of hunger, fear and death. One day, walking by the fence, he saw a small girl on the other side. She smiled at him, and when he asked desperately if she had any food, she pulled an apple out of her pocket and threw it over the fence. As he ran off, afraid of being caught and shot, he heard her whisper "come back tomorrow." For six months, they met every day. She threw him an apple or a hunk of bread. They never spoke, but the warmth of her smile and the food she gave him kept him alive and convinced him that she was an angel, sent to him by his mother. Herman was moved to another camp, and then eventually freed by Russian troops. He moved to England and then to New York.Fifteen years later, in 1957, Herman was set up on a blind date by a friend. Roma charmed him from the start with her warmth and beauty. It was only towards the end of their date that Herman touched on their shared history and asked her gently how she had survived the Holocaust. Roma explained that her family had bought forged papers to hide the fact that they were Jewish, and that they'd lived quietly on a farm next to a camp. She said that she had thrown apples over to fence to a starving young boy every day until he'd told her one day that he was being moved and not to come again. She'd always prayed that he had survived!

<p>Marzieh Kheir Khah was completely alone when she set foot on Swedish soil for the first time. She had been forced to separate from her family when they fled from Iran. The year was 2015. </p><p>The escape is painful, long and uncertain in the hands of the people smugglers. They take Marzieh and her family through Iran and Türkiye, after which the journey continues by boat to Greece and on through Europe. The fear of being discovered by police officers who don't hesitate to abuse and kill refugees is ever-present, as is hunger, thirst and fatigue. This is a story that spans vast geographical areas, but it is also the story of a young woman's inner journey, in which she must quickly learn to be strongfor her family. </p><p>"<i>Marzieh is one of the many young people who ve been forced to flee and who ve come to Sweden without their parents. I've been deeply moved by what she s been forced to experience, as well as by her talent and her commitment to a better world. That's why I asked her if she wanted to write her story down, even though it would be painful and difficult. As a publisher, we want to do everything we can to help a young woman's testimony gain wider attention. We hope, like Marzieh, that her story might inspire others with similar experiences to help them cope and find the courage to share their stories.</i>" Susanne Hamilton, Bokförlaget Langenskiöld </p><p>Marzieh Kheir Khah's words convey the powerful emotions of a long journey from Afghanistan and Iran to Europe in the midst of the refugee crisis.
