Broken Places & Outer Spaces: Finding Creativity in the Unexpected (TED Books)

Nnedi Okorafor

Audible Hörbuch

A powerful journey from star athlete to sudden paralysis to creative awakening, award-winning science-fiction writer Nnedi Okorafor shows that what we think are our limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths.

Nnedi Okorafor was never supposed to be paralyzed. A college track star and budding entomologist, Nnedi's lifelong battle with scoliosis was just a bump in her plan - something a simple operation would easily correct. But when Nnedi wakes from the surgery to find she can't move her legs, her entire sense of self begins to waver.

Confined to a hospital bed for months, unusual things begin to happen. Psychedelic bugs crawl her hospital walls; strange dreams visit her nightly. Nnedi begins to put these experiences into writing, conjuring up strange, fantastical stories. What Nnedi discovers during her confinement would prove to be the key to her life as a successful science-fiction author: In science fiction, when something breaks, something greater often emerges from the cracks.

In Broken Places & Outer Spaces, Nnedi takes the listener on a journey from her hospital bed deep into her memories, from her painful first experiences with racism as a child in Chicago to her powerful visits to her parents' hometown in Nigeria. From Frida Kahlo to Mary Shelly, she examines great artists and writers who have pushed through their limitations, using hardship to fuel their work. Through these compelling stories and her own, Nnedi reveals a universal truth: What we perceive as limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths - far greater than when we were unbroken.

A guide for anyone eager to understand how their limitations might actually be used as a creative springboard, Broken Places & Outer Spaces is an inspiring look at how to open up new windows in your mind.

Bauernleben: Die unglaubliche Geschichte des Wisi Zgraggen

Barbara Lukesch

Gebundene Ausgabe

Die unglaubliche Geschichte des Wisi Zgraggen
Gebundenes Buch
Wisi Zgraggen war seit zwei Jahren verheiratet und Vater eines Buben, als er mit 25 mit dem Gedanken spielte, den Hof seines Vaters Alois in Erstfeld im Kanton Uri zu übernehmen. Kurze Zeit später vereitelte ein schwerer Arbeitsunfall den Plan: Wisi geriet bei der Heuernte in die Rundballenpresse und verlor beide Arme. Noch auf der Unfallstelle versicherte er seinem Vater, weiterhin bauern zu wollen. Dank eisernem Willen und positiver Lebenseinstellung hat er das Unglaubliche geschafft. Heute ist er das, was er immer werden wollte: ein erfolgreicher Landwirt. In " Bauernleben - Die unglaubliche Geschichte des Wisi Zgraggen" erzählt der Urner, inzwischen Vater von vier Kindern, nicht nur, wie er seinen Unfall überwunden und gelernt hat, den Alltag ohne Arme und Hände zu meistern, sondern gibt der Autorin Barbara Lukesch auch Einblick in die Gesetze der Landwirtschaft und den Beruf des Bauern. Darüber hinaus erzählt das Buch die Geschichte der Familie Zgraggen, die seit 1871 in Erstfeld Landwirtschaft betreibt und es - dank unternehmerischem Geschick und hoher Risikobereitschaft - über fünf Generationen hinweg schaffte, jeden Strukturwandel zu bewältigen. Nicht zuletzt bleibt im Kapitel " Alles über Kühe - Kühe über alles" keine Frage zum Rindvieh offen.

The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly

Jean-Dominique Bauby

Taschenbuch

Locked-in syndrome: paralysed from head to toe, the patient, his mind intact, is imprisoned inside his own body, unable to speak or move. In my case, blinking my left eyelid is my only means of communication. ' In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French Elle' and the father of two young children, suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless, but entirely conscious, trapped by what doctors call locked-in syndrome'. Using his only functioning muscle - his left eyelid - he began dictating this remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter. His book offers a haunting, harrowing look inside the cruel prison of locked-in syndrome, but it is also a triumph of the human spirit. The acclaimed 2007 film adaptation, directed by Julian Schnabel, won Best Director at Cannes and was nominated for the Palme d' Or.
