New Releases by Rosemary Sullivan

"As a poet and writer, [Rosemary Sullivan] knows that life is lived not as theory but as practice, that . . . you can understand nothing about a place without listening to individual people and their stories." -- Margaret Atwood Incomparable writer, activist, and world traveller Rosemary Sullivan has at long last written a book about herself, about her life quest to "meet the world, to celebrate its richness, to face its darkness." And what a fascinating book it is! Comprised of 21 essays spanning 5 decades and multiple continents, Where the World Was offers a vivid portrait of a writer who is instinctively drawn to other cultures and places. Whether writing about a solo vacation inside the Iron Curtain, meeting the reclusive writer Elizabeth Smart in a dilapidated cottage in the English countryside, reflecting on how Chilean society responded to Pinochet''s coup, or tracking down the people who knew Svetlana Alliluyeva for Stalin''s Daughter, Sullivan delivers a master class in cultural studies, human rights advocacy, and empathy for the human condition.

A New York Times Bestseller Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept... Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team—led by an obsessed retired FBI agent—has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teen-aged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works—journalism, books, plays and novels—devoted to Anne’s story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years—and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents—some never before seen—and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest—and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behavior of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.

Spanning Gwendolyn MacEwen''s career from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, this is a comprehensive collection of work by one of the greatest women writers of the 20th century. It traces the trajectory of her verse and the development of her fiction and drama, and includes letters, paintings, and photographs from the oeuvre of this beloved Canadian poet.

Historiker og journalist Rosemary Sullivan følger et hold af efterforskere, ledet af tidligere FBI-agent Vincent Pankoke, når de genoptager en af verdens mest skammeligt uopklarede sager: Hvem afslørede Anne Frank og hendes familie i Amsterdam i 1944? Og hvorfor? Mere end 30 millioner mennesker har læst historien om Anne Frank, den 13-årige pige, der skjulte sig sammen med sin familie i Amsterdam under anden verdenskrig, blot for at blive opdaget af nazisterne og sendt i døden i en koncentrationslejr. Trods den megen journalistik og de bøger, teaterstykker og romaner, der er viet til emnet, så er der aldrig nogen, der endegyldigt har forklaret, hvordan familien Frank og fire andre personer formåede at leve i skjul uden at blive opdaget i over to år – eller hvem eller hvad, der endeligt førte nazisterne til deres dør. Et hold efterforskere har med usvigelig omhu gennemtrawlet titusindvis sider med dokumentation – hvoraf nogle aldrig tidligere har været fremvist – og interviewet snesevis af efterkommere fra folk, der – på den ene eller anden måde – var i forbindelse med familien Frank. Ved hjælp af nyudviklet DNA-teknologi og efterforskningsteknikker, der er udviklet af FBI, har Cold Case teamet genskabt de dage og uger, der gik forud for arrestationen af familien Frank – og konklusionen er chokerende. ROSEMARY SULLIVAN har skrevet 15 bøger, og hun er bedst kendt for sin seneste biografi Stalins datter, som vandt Biographer''s International Organization Plutarch Award. Hendes bog Villa Air-Bel blev tildelt en Canadian Society for Yad Vashem Award in Holocaust History. Hun er professor emeritus ved University of Toronto og har undervist i Canada, USA, Europa, Indien og Latinamerika.

Más de 30 millones de personas han leído la historia de Ana Frank, la niña de trece años que se escondió con su familia en Amsterdam durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, solo para ser descubierta por los nazis y enviada a su muerte en un campo de concentración. Pero a pesar del periodismo, libros, obras de teatro y novelas dedicadas al tema, ninguno ha explicado nunca, de manera concluyente, cómo los Frank y otras cuatro personas lograron vivir escondidas sin ser detectadas durante más de dos años, y quién o qué finalmente llevó a los nazis a su puerta. Con esmerado cuidado, un equipo de investigadores estudió detenidamente decenas de miles de páginas de documentos, algunos nunca vistos y entrevistó a decenas de descendientes de personas involucradas, de una forma u otra, con los Frank. Utilizando tecnología de ADN desarrollada recientemente y técnicas de investigación avanzadas del FBI, el equipo de Cold Case recrea los días y semanas antes del arresto de los Frank, y llega a una conclusión impactante. Pero a pesar de todo el análisis que contiene, el gran logro de este libro es que lleva a los lectores a un viaje de regreso a los tiempos de guerra. Ámsterdam, donde, por primera vez, llegamos a comprender cómo era vivir en un lugar concurrido, un lugar donde no importaba cuán rico, educado o cuidadoso fueras, nunca sabías en quién confiar.

Quem traiu Anne Frank? A investigação que revela o segredo jamais contado é a história cativante desta missão. Rosemary Sullivan apresenta-nos os investigadores, explica o comportamento tanto dos cativos como dos seus captores e esboça o perfil de um grupo de suspeitos. Em paralelo, recria com uma extraordinária vividez a Amesterdão da guerra: um lugar no qual, por muito rico, culto ou cuidadoso que se fosse, nunca se sabia em quem se podía confiar. «Sabíamos que não ia ser fácil. O caso tinha mais de setenta e cinco anos. O denunciante e a imensa maioria das testemunhas diretas provavelmente já tinham morrido. E a questão não era tanto quem, mas antes o porquê.» Recorrendo a novas tecnologias, documentos recém-descobertos e técnicas de investigação sofisticadas, uma equipa internacional resolveu por fim o mistério que constituiu a obsessão de várias gerações desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial: quem traiu Anne Frank e a sua família? E porquê? Mais de trinta milhões de pessoas leram o diário que a jovem Anne Frank escreveu enquanto viveu na clandestinidade num sótão de Amesterdão com a família e outras quatro pessoas, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, até serem descobertas pelos nazis e enviadas para um campo de concentração. Apesar das inúmeras obras — reportagens jornalísticas, ensaios, peças de teatro e romances — que se dedicaram à história de Anne, até à data ninguém tinha conseguido explicar de modo convincente como é que essas oito pessoas conseguiram sobreviver sem serem detetadas durante mais de dois anos, e quem ou o que finalmente conduziu os nazis à sua porta. Com uma dedicação esmerada, o ex-agente do FBI, Vincent Pankoke, e uma equipa de incansáveis investigadores estudaram com afinco dezenas de milhares de documentos, muitos dos quais inéditos, e entrevistaram inúmeros descendentes de pessoas que mantiveram uma relação direta com os Frank. Utilizando métodos desenvolvidos pelo FBI, a Equipa Caso Arquivado reconstruiu minuciosamente os meses anteriores à funesta detenção e chegou a uma conclusão impactante.

In Het verraad van Anne Frank van Rosemary Sullivan lees je over het grensverleggende onderzoek van een internationaal coldcaseteam dat licht werpt op een donker dossier. Een internationaal team laat met nieuwe technologieën en revolutionaire onderzoeksmethoden een licht schijnen op de vraag waarop velen sinds het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog een antwoord hebben proberen te vinden: wie verraadde Anne Frank? Wereldwijd hebben meer dan dertig miljoen mensen Het Achterhuis gelezen, het dagboek dat Anne Frank bijhield in de jaren dat ze met haar ouders en zusje was ondergedoken totdat ze in augustus 1944 werden opgepakt en gedeporteerd. Ondanks de vele boeken, films, toneelstukken en documentaires die er aan Annes leven zijn gewijd, is nooit duidelijk geworden wie haar en haar familie heeft verraden. En waarom. Met grote nauwkeurigheid heeft een team van onderzoekers, onder leiding van oud-FBI-agent Vincent Pankoke, tienduizenden pagina’s documenten – sommige waren tot op heden onbekend –, verslagen van interviews en eerdere politieonderzoeken bekeken en nageplozen. Een uniek internationaal coldcaseteam in Nederland, bestaande uit historici, criminologen, datawetenschappers, forensisch experts, journalisten en politiemedewerkers, heeft nauwgezet de maanden in beeld gebracht die leidden tot de aanhouding van de familie Frank.

O mistério que durou gerações será revelado: quem entregou Anne Frank e sua família? Mais de trinta milhões de pessoas leram o diário mais famoso do mundo, escrito por Anne Frank no período em que morou escondida com sua família em um anexo secreto em Amsterdã durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mas a identidade de quem traiu a sua localização e os denunciou nunca foi revelada — até agora. Emocionante e com um final surpreendente, Quem traiu Anne Frank? traz o relato inédito da meticulosa investigação forense comandada pelo ex-agente do FBI Vincent Pankoke para solucionar esse mistério, trazendo a resposta definitiva à pergunta que inquietou milhões de pessoas no mundo inteiro.

Avvalendosi di tecnologie all’avanguardia, nuovi documenti e sofisticate tecniche investigative, un team internazionale ha fatto luce su uno dei grandi misteri irrisolti della Seconda guerra mondiale. Più di trenta milioni di persone in tutto il mondo hanno letto il Diario di Anne Frank, la tredicenne ebrea che affidò alle pagine di tre quaderni la storia dei due anni trascorsi nascosta con la famiglia e altre quattro persone nella casa segreta ricavata nel retro di un edificio di Amsterdam, fino a quando i nazisti non li arrestarono tutti e li mandarono in un campo di concentramento. Eppure, nonostante il gran numero di saggi, articoli, opere teatrali e romanzi che sono stati scritti su Anne e la sua storia, nessuno è mai riuscito a spiegare come otto persone siano potute vivere nascoste per tutto quel tempo senza essere scoperte, né chi o che cosa abbia portato la polizia alla loro porta. Un team di investigatori guidati dall’ex agente dell’FBI Vincent Pankoke ha vagliato un’enorme quantità di documenti, alcuni mai esaminati prima, e intervistato i discendenti di molte persone che conoscevano i Frank. Avvalendosi delle più moderne tecniche di indagine sviluppate dall’FBI, la Squadra Casi Irrisolti ha ricostruito i mesi che hanno portato all’arresto degli inquilini della casa segreta, giungendo infine a una scioccante conclusione. Chi ha tradito Anne Frank. Indagine su un caso mai risolto è la storia della loro missione. Rosemary Sullivan ci presenta gli investigatori che hanno collaborato al caso, spiega il comportamento dei prigionieri e di coloro che li catturarono, stila un profilo psicologico dei principali sospettati, e descrive con straordinaria efficacia come si viveva in tempo di guerra ad Amsterdam... una città in cui a prescindere da quanto eri ricco, istruito o prudente, non sapevi mai di chi ti potevi fidare. ROSEMARY SULLIVAN Autrice di quindici libri, è nota soprattutto per la sua recente biografia della figlia di Stalin. Pubblicata in ventitré Paesi, ha vinto il Plutarch Award, conferito dalla Biographer International Organization ed è stata finalista al PEN/Bograd Weld Award per la categoria biografie e al National Books Critics Award. Il suo Villa Air-Bel è stato premiato dalla Canadian Society for Yad Vashem come miglior libro sulla storia dell’Olocausto. Professoressa emerita all’Università di Toronto ha tenuto conferenze in Canada, Stati Uniti, Europa, India e America Latina.

FRÅGAN SOM GÄCKAT MILJONTALS LÄSARE HAR NU FÅT T ET T SVAR Över trettio miljoner människor har läst Anne Franks dagbok, skriven av en trettonårig flicka som gömde sig för nazisterna i två år – innan hon blev avslöjad och skickad till ett koncentrationsläger. Trots att hennes öde behandlats i böcker, filmer och pjäser har ingen tidigare slagit fast vem eller vad som gjorde att hon och hennes familj hittades av nazisterna. Nu – 75 år senare – vet vi svaret. Tack vare ny DNA-teknik, mer sofistikerade undersökningsmetoder och ett internationellt team, lett av tidigare FBI-agenten Vince Pankoke. Teamet har gått igenom tiotusentals dokument och intervjuat mängder av personer som på något sätt levde nära familjen Frank. Tillsammans har de lyckats återskapa dagarna som ledde fram till familjens arrestering och kommit fram till en ny slutsats. Deras arbete skildras här av författaren och poeten Rosemary Sullivan. Hon ger oss också en naken inblick i hur det var att leva i en ockuperad stad där du oberoende av hur rik, fattig, välutbildad eller försiktig du var, aldrig kunde vara säker på vem du kunde lita på. *** ROSEMARY SULLIVAN har skrivit femton böcker, bland annat den flerfaldigt prisbelönade biografin Stalins dotter (på svenska 2016). Hon är professor emeritus vid universitetet i Toronto och har undervisat i Kanada, USA, Indien samt flera länder i Europa och Latinamerika.

Mezinárodní tým odborníků pod vedením zvláštního agenta FBI ve výslužbě objasnil pomocí moderních technologií, nedávno objevených dokumentů a sofistikovaných vyšetřovacích metod záhadu, která od konce druhé světové války fascinuje celé generace: kdo udal Anne Frankovou a její rodinu? A proč? Deník Anne Frankové si přečetlo více než třicet milionů lidí na celém světě. Třináctiletá židovská dívka Anne si ho psala, když se za druhé světové války skrývala se svou rodinou a dalšími čtyřmi osobami v tajném přístavku jednoho amsterdamského domu, dokud je nacisté nezatkli a neposlali do koncentračního tábora. Navzdory hojnému počtu děl – článkům, knihám, divadelním hrám – o Annině osudu však nikdo jasně nevysvětlil, jak se osmi lidem podařilo přežít více než dva roky v těsném úkrytu a kdo nebo co nakonec přivedlo nacisty na jejich stopu. Neúnavný tým v čele s Vincentem Pankokem důkladně prostudoval desítky tisíc stran spisů, včetně těch, které dosud nikdo nespatřil. Vedl rozhovory s mnoha potomky lidí, kteří rodinu Frankových znali. S využitím metod vyvinutých FBI vyšetřovatelé pečlivě rekonstruovali několikaměsíční sled událostí, které v srpnu 1944 vedly k nechvalně proslulému zatčení, a dospěl k šokujícímu závěru. Kniha Kdo zradil Anne Frankovou? je poutavým vyprávěním o této misi. Rosemary Sullivan představuje vyšetřovatele, vysvětluje motivy skrývajících se osob i jejich pronásledovatelů a vytváří profily podezřelých. Zároveň vykresluje živý obraz válečného Amsterdamu, místa, kde bez ohledu na to, jak bohatí, vzdělaní a opatrní jste byli, nikdy jste nevěděli, komu můžete věřit.

From the author of the Governor General''s Award winner Shadow Maker and the Hilary Weston Writers'' Trust Prize winner Stalin''s Daughter More than thirty years after the publication of The Handmaid''s Tale, Margaret Atwood, international award-winning and bestselling author, continues to be a household name. Now, the TV adaptation of the novel has turned Atwood''s handmaids into a symbol around the globe. But who is Margaret Atwood? Rosemary Sullivan, award-winning biographer and poet, has penned the first portrait of Canada''s most famous novelist, a woman who helped to shatter the paradigm of the artist as exclusively male. In Margaret Atwood: Starting Out, Rosemary Sullivan explores the trajectory of a remarkable writer''s career. She focuses on Atwood''s formative years through to the late 1970s, when the major elements of Atwood''s life--the publication of Surfacing, Power Politics, and The Edible Woman; her relationship with writer Graeme Gibson; the birth of her daughter; and her focus on Canadian culture--are set in place. A stunning blend of narrative and meditation, of discovery and insight, Margaret Atwood: Starting Out is a major portrait of one of Canada''s most provocative writers who is out ahead, throwing back clues about the pleasure and pitfalls of being human. Previously published as Red Shoes, this retitled edition features a new preface by the author which explores the success of Atwood''s The Handmaid''s Tale, written 35 years ago and which has seen enormous popular success since being made into a TV series in 2016.

QUANTITY1 ¿+In "Where Have All My Metaphors Gone? - Memories, Reflections, and Wordplay," Rosemary Sullivan offers a celebration of words - words used to share memories, words expressing her views and interpretations, and words put together for amusement, insight, or just fun. There might be Memories of - a dear aunt (Walking with a Nun), the loss of a parent (Seven Years), a life-altering experience, (Moving Day, Fire!) or Reflections - on family (Two Family Dance at Long Nook), a friend''s discernment (The Journey), or trust (Leap of Faith). Wordplay might include incorporating song titles (Thanks for the Memories), or using extreme alliteration (Retrograde Reincarnation- a rhyme resplendent with R''s). This collection is the culmination of a life-long love of the written word - literature, song lyrics, and verse, expressed through the medium of poetry.

Inkännande och fängslande beskriver Rosemary Sullivan inlevelsefullt den innersta, tragiska livshistorien för en kvinna som var Stalins enda dotter i all dess märklighet, från hennes mors självmord i Kreml till hennes eget avhopp och hennes kärleksaffärer från Oxford i England och Princeton i USA till döden som utblottad i Wisconsin - alltid hemsökt av Stalin. Ett så oerhört gripande öde och så vackert skriven. Stalins dotter är den bästa biografin jag läst på mycket länge. David Lagercrantz Det här är inte en politisk berättelse utan en strävan efter kärlek i mörkrets hjärta. Simon Sebag Montefiore Hade man inte haft alla sidor med noggranna fotnoter och alla intervjuer som Rosemary Sullivan gjort skulle man vara säker på att det här är en roman. Men det är en sann historia, spännande och berättad i högt tempo i denna fascinerande biografi. Cokie Roberts Författaren klarar både spänning och intriger rakt igenom. Kirkus Reviews

Plutarch Award Winner and Boston Globe Best Book of the Year: An “extraordinary” biography of the Soviet dictator’s daughter, Svetlana (The Washington Post). National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist PEN Literary Award Finalist New York Times Notable Book Washington Post Notable Book Born in the early years of the Soviet Union, Svetlana Stalin spent her youth inside the walls of the Kremlin. Communist Party privilege protected her from the mass starvation and oppression that haunted Russia, but she did not escape tragedy. Her mother committed suicide, and her father’s purges claimed the lives of aunts and uncles; he also exiled her lover to Siberia. As she gradually learned about the extent of her father’s brutality after his death, Svetlana could no longer keep quiet and in 1967 shocked the world by defecting to the United States—leaving her two children behind. But although she was never a part of her father’s regime, she could not escape his legacy. Her life in America was fractured; she moved frequently, married disastrously, shunned other Russian exiles, and ultimately died in poverty in Wisconsin. With access to KGB, CIA, and Soviet government archives, as well as the close cooperation of Svetlana’s daughter, Rosemary Sullivan pieces together Svetlana’s incredible life in a masterful account both epic in scope and of unprecedented intimacy. Illustrated with photographs “Alliluyeva [proves] a fascinating person not simply because of her name but because she was a willful, intelligent, passionate woman who resisted being gawked at as a freak of history: the monster’s pretty daughter.” —The Wall Street Journal “Riveting.” —The New York Times Book Review

International award-winning and best-selling author, Canadian cultural icon, feminist role model, "man-hater," wife, mother, private citizen and household name -- who is Margaret Atwood? Rosemary Sullivan, award-winning literary biographer, has penned The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out, the first portrait of Canada''s most famous novelist, focusing on her childhood and formative years as a writer and the generation she grew up in. When Margaret Atwood was a little girl in 1949, she saw a movie called The Red Shoes. It is the story of a beautiful young woman who becomes a famous ballerina, but commits suicide when she cannot satisfy one man, who wants her to devote her entire life to her art, and another who loves her, but subjugates her to become his muse and inspiration. She struggles to choose art, but the choice eventually destroys her. Margaret Atwood remembers being devastated by this movie but unlike many young girls of her time, she escaped its underlying message. Always sustained by a strong sense of self, Atwood would achieve a meteoric literary career. Yet a nurturing sense of self-confidence is just one fascinating side of our most famous literary figure, as examined in Rosemary Sullivan''s latest biography. The Red Shoes is not a simple biography but a portrait of a complex, intriguing woman and her generation. The seventies in Canada was the decade of fierce nationalist debate, a period during which Canada''s social imagination was creating a new tradition. Suddenly everyone, from Robertson Davies to Margaret Laurence was talking, and writing, about a Canadian cultural identity. Margaret Atwood was no exception. For despite her tremendous success that transcends the literary community, catapulting into the realm of a "household name," Margaret Atwood has remained very much a private person with a public persona. Rosemary Sullivan reveals the discrepancy between Atwood''s cool, acerbic, public image and the down-to-earth, straight-dealing and generous woman who actually writes the books. Throughout, she weaves the issues of female creativity, authority and autonomy set against the backdrop of a generation of women coming of age during one of the most radically shifting times in contemporary history.

There is no doubt Rosemary Sullivan is a biographer of extraordinary talent. Her first biography, By Heart: Elizabeth Smart: A Life was a bestseller and nominated for a Governor General’s Award. Her third biography, The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood, Starting Out, was also a highly acclaimed national bestseller. And her second, Shadow Maker, won the Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction, the Canadian Authors Association Award for Non-Fiction, the City of Toronto Book Award and the University of British Columbia Medal for Canadian Biography. Now part of the PerennialCanada library, Shadow Maker reveals the many faces of Gwendolyn MacEwen, the magical and mesmerizing Canadian poet who died suddenly at the age of 46.
