New Releases by Trevor Noah

Inspirerend verhaal door comedian Trevor Noah, voor lezers van De jongen, de mol, de vos en het paard.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the child in all of us, a timeless illustrated story about connection and compromise brought to life with imagination, from the acclaimed author of Born a Crime “Whimsical and wise, bursting with quirky characters and clever humor . . . the ideal gift for the new parent (or child-at-heart) in your life.”—Oprah Daily “But sooner or later your mother will find us,” Walter said, looking back at the house. “She always does.” The boy’s eyes lit up again. He had an idea. “Then this time we need to go where we’ve never gone before,” he said. “Into the uncut grass!” In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child’s journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author’s signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn, it’s a tale for readers of all ages—to be read aloud or read alone.

Nou vir die eerste keer in Afrikaans, ’n verwerking van Born a Crime and Other Stories – die Suid-Afrikaanse en New York Times-#1-topverkoper. “As my ma een doel voor oë gehad het, was dit om my verstand te bevry. My ma het soos ’n grootmens met my gepraat. Sy het gedurig vir my stories vertel, vir my lesse geleer, veral lesse uit die Bybel. Sy was mal oor Psalms. Ek moes elke dag Psalms lees. Sy het my agterna gepeper met vrae daaroor. ‘Wat beteken daardie gedeelte? Wat beteken dit vir jou? Hoe kan jy dit in jou lewe toepas?’ So het dit elke dag van my lewe gegaan. My ma het gedoen wat die skool nie kon doen nie. Sy het my geleer hoe om te dink.” Trevor Noah het in Suid-Afrika grootgeword met ’n swart Suid-Afrikaanse ma en ’n wit Switserse pa – in ’n tyd toe dit teen die wet was vir ’n kind van gemengde rasse om te bestaan. Maar Trevor het bestaan. In Teen die reëls vertel hy van sy grootwordjare. Die stories wat hy in dié boek vertel, sal jou laat lag, huil en jou vol verwondering en inspirasie laat, terwyl jy dié ondeunde seuntjie met sy vlymskerp brein en humorsin leer ken. Teen alle verwagtinge in, en danksy sy ma se onfeilbare liefde en geloof in hom, het Trevor hope struikelblokke oorkom om vir hom ’n belowende toekoms te skep.

A The Daily Show világszerte népszerű műsorvezetőjének elképesztően vicces és szívbemarkoló története. Trevor Noah valószínűtlen úton-módon jutott el a dél-afrikai apartheidből a The Daily Show asztala mögé, és már a születése is bűncselekménynek minősül: fehér svájci apa és fekete xhosza anya gyermekeként jött világra egy olyan időszakban, amikor öt év börtönbüntetéssel sújthatták az ilyen családokat. Szülei vétségének élő bizonyítékaként első éveit zárt ajtók mögött töltötte, mert anyja szélsőséges és nemegyszer abszurd mértékben rejtegette a kormányzat elől, amely egyik pillanatról a másikra elvehette volna tőle. Dél-Afrika fehér zsarnoksága alól felszabadulva pedig Trevor és édesanyja nekivágott a nagy kalandnak, hogy nyíltan, szabadon, a több évszázados viszontagságokon felülkerekedve megragadják új lehetőségeiket. A Bűnben születtem főhőse egy rosszcsont kissrác, aki nyughatatlan fiatalemberré érve keresi magát a világban, ahol a puszta létezését is megkérdőjelezik. A könyv nem csak róla szól, hanem rettenthetetlen, lázadó szellemiségű, mélyen vallásos édesanyjával való kapcsolatáról is. Az asszonyról, aki mindenáron ki akarta menteni fiát a nyomor, az erőszak és bántalmazás körforgásából, amely veszélybe sodorta az életét. A kötetben összegyűjtött tizennyolc személyes vallomás hol fergeteges, hol drámai, de mindvégig nagy hatást gyakorol az olvasóra. Trevor metsző szellemességgel és keresetlen őszinteséggel tárja fel különleges életét, legyen szó arról, hogy hernyót kell ennie az ínséges időkben, emberrablási kísérlet közben kihajítják egy mozgó járműből, vagy megpróbálja ép bőrrel megúszni a gimis csajozás élet-halál harcát. Egy olyan fiú megható, ellenállhatatlanul mulatságos portréja rajzolódik ki az elbeszélésekből, aki veszélyes időkben, egy szétesni készülő közegben tör utat magának, és egyedüli fegyvere az éles humorérzéke, illetve anyja rendhagyó, feltétel nélküli szeretete.

MÁS DE UN MILLÓN DE EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS NOMBRADO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO POR Michiko Kakutani, New York Times USA Today San Francisco Chronicle NPR Esquire Newsday Booklist La impresionante trayectoria de Trevor Noah, desde su infancia en Sudáfrica durante el apartheid hasta el escritorio de The Daily Show, comenzó con un acto criminal: su nacimiento. Trevor nació de un padre suizo blanco y una madre Xhosa negra, en una época de la historia sudafricana en que tal unión era castigada con cinco años de prisión. Como prueba viviente de la indiscreción de sus padres, Trevor permaneció los primeros años de su vida bajo el estricto resguardo de su madre, quien se veía obligada a tomar medidas extremas y, a veces, absurdas para ocultar a Trevor de un gobierno que podría, en cualquier momento, llevárselo. Prohibido nacer es la historia de un niño travieso que se convierte en un joven inquieto mientras lucha por encontrarse a sí mismo en un mundo en el que nunca se suponía que debía existir. También es la historia de la relación de ese joven con su intrépida, rebelde y ferviente madre religiosa: su compañera de equipo, una mujer decidida a salvar a su hijo del ciclo de pobreza, violencia y abuso que en última instancia amenazaría su propia vida.

«La stupidità del razzismo si combatte con l''ironia.» Marco Aime «Un''avventura umana intensa.» Fabio Geda «La strepitosa storia di Trevor Noah.» Gad Lerner «Una immensa storia d''amore filiale. » Alberto Rollo Nato nel Sudafrica dell’apartheid da madre xhosa e padre bianco, Trevor è colored: né bianco né nero, un’anomalia intollerabile per il rigido sistema razziale sudafricano. Destinato fin dalla nascita a un’esistenza “fuori legge”, Trevor se la cava splendidamente poiché la sua infanzia, spericolata e indimenticabile, è orchestrata da una madre più potente del tuono: Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, un magma di contraddizioni stupendamente africane. È bigotta e ribelle, severa e anticonformista, e soprattutto ha fiducia nel fatto che tutto è possibile, di qualsiasi colore sia la tua pelle, l’importante è andare a scuola, imparare l’inglese, fare quello che si pensa sia giusto e rifiutare le leggi sbagliate e illogiche inventate dagli uomini. Ragazzino impacciato di fronte alle prime esperienze sentimentali, poi esperto di pirateria musicale e organizzatore di rumorose feste clandestine nelle townships di Johannesburg, Trevor ripercorre la sua vicenda senza alcuna retorica, sempre sul filo di un’irresistibile vena ironica che lo affranca dal ruolo di vittima e rende il suo racconto più forte di qualsiasi denuncia. Non teorizza nulla, mostra sé stesso, il “bastardo”: la sua mescolanza razziale sfida l’ingiustizia del sistema e ne mette in luce l''insostenibilità e incoerenza. Mescolarsi è la vera rivoluzione e questa storia esplosiva e “fuori legge” ne è la prova. L’aspettavamo da tempo.

Trevor Noah kam 1984 im Township Soweto als Sohn einer Xhosa und eines Schweizers zur Welt. Zu einer Zeit, da das südafrikanische Apartheidsregime „gemischtrassige“ Beziehungen weiterhin unter Strafe stellte. Als Kind, das es nicht geben durfte, erlebte er Armut und systematischen Rassismus, aber auch die mutige Auflehnung seiner Eltern, die einfallsreich versuchten, Trennungen zwischen Ethnien und Geschlechtern zu überwinden. Heute ist er ein international gefeierter Comedian, der jahrelang die legendäre The Daily Show in den USA hostete und weltweit – ob Sydney, Dubai, Toronto, San Francisco oder Berlin – in ausverkauften Sälen auftritt. In »Born A Crime - Als Verbrechen geboren« erzählt Trevor Noah - »das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren« (Die Zeit) ebenso feinsinnig wie komisch in achtzehn Geschichten von seinem Aufwachsen in Südafrika, das den ganzen Aberwitz der Apartheid bündelt: warum ihn seine Mutter aus einem fahrenden Minibus warf, um Gottes Willen zu erfüllen, welche Musik er für einen tanzenden Hitler aufzulegen pflegte, um sein erstes Geld zu verdienen, und wie ihn eine Überwachungskamera, die nicht einmal zwischen Schwarz und Weiß unterscheiden konnte, vor dem Gefängnis bewahrte. „Er ist ein außerordentliches Talent, ein großartiger Geschichtenerzähler.“ (Der Spiegel) "Das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren" (Die Zeit) erzählt von seiner Kindheit in den Townships Die Absurditäten der Apartheid und der Humor als Waffe Gesellschaftskritisch, pointiert – und unglaublich komisch

Trevor Noahs bijzondere levensverhaal - van een arme jeugd onder de apartheid in Zuid-Afrika tot geliefde comedian en presentator van The Daily Show - begon met een misdaad: zijn geboorte. Hij werd, hoewel gemengde relaties verboden waren, geboren als zoon van een blanke Europese vader en een zwarte Xhosa-moeder, die voor de buitenwereld moest doen alsof ze zijn nanny was in de weinige momenten dat ze als gezin samen waren. Zijn briljante, excentrieke moeder speelde een hoofdrol in zijn leven: ze was komisch en diepgelovig (ze gingen zes dagen per week naar de kerk en op zondag zelfs drie keer), en hielp Trevor op zijn hobbelige weg naar wereldfaam. Trevors belevenissen zijn afwisselend bizar, gevoelig en hilarisch. Zo vertelt hij hoe ze rupsen aten als er geen geld was, hoe hij uit een auto werd geslingerd tijdens een poging tot kidnapping, en over tienerverliefdheden in een door huidskleur geobsedeerde maatschappij. Zijn verhalen schetsen een onvergetelijk portret van een jongen die opgroeit in een snel veranderende wereld, gewapend met een scherp gevoel voor humor en onvoorwaardelijke moederliefde.

As organizations continue to flatten their structure and leverage teams for the completion of complex work projects, contributions of evidence to illuminate what makes teams effective and profitable are becoming increasingly valuable for organizational stakeholders. The majority of past researchers have focused on the performance of teams as an indicator of their success. However, there are other indicators of team effectiveness that have been understudied relative to team task performance, namely team viability. Team viability reflects the extent that members of a team will desire to continue working together in the future. When individuals have negative team experiences, they are likely to disband from the team, resulting in turnover that can be costly to the organization. Trust is one factor that is argued to have a substantial influence on team viability. Thus, the current study first sought to examine team level inputs and mediators that can be used to predict the extent that team members will desire to continue working together on future projects. As a secondary goal, this study also sought to answer recent calls to investigate antecedents, outcomes, and emergence trajectories of shared leadership in teams. Past literature has suggested that robust leadership may be the strongest predictor of team performance, and more recent meta-analytic reviews have found that shared leadership predicts team performance above and beyond traditional hierarchical leadership. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed that a relatively understudied construct, socialized motivation for power, may be likely to have predictive value in assessing the degree to which influence of a team is shared among its members, and the extent that team members will wish to continue working together beyond their current performance episode. Using archival data, a series of multiple regression, and mediated regression models were used to test hypotheses. The results demonstrated that team-level socialized power motivation was a significant predictor of team trust, shared leadership, and latent changes in shared leadership. Additionally, an indirect effect of team socialized power motivation on team viability through shared leadership was supported, although the indirect effect through team trust was not. The study provides valuable implications for practice and a framework for future research investigating team-level relationships.

Dacă ți-au plăcut: Cenușa Angelei, de Frank McCourt; Castelul de sticlă, de Jeannette Walls; Dulcele bar, de J.R. Moehringer Născut în afara legii este povestea unui băiețel poznaș care se transformă într-un tânăr neliniștit, în timp ce se străduiește să se regăsească într-o lume în care el nu ar fi trebuit să existe. Trevor Noah s-a născut dintr-un tată alb elvețian și o mamă neagră din etnia xhosa, într-o perioadă în care o astfel de relație era pedepsită cu cinci ani de închisoare în Africa de Sud din timpul apartheidului. Dovada vie a indiscreției părinților săi, Trevor a fost ținut mai mult în casă în primii ani de viață, constrâns de măsurile extreme și adesea absurde pe care mama sa le-a luat pentru a-l ascunde de autorităţi, care puteau, în orice moment, să-l despartă de ea. Cartea de față este și povestea relației dintre acest tânăr și mama sa neînfricată, rebelă și profund religioasă – coechipiera sa, o femeie hotărâtă să-și salveze fiul de povara sărăciei, a violenței și a abuzului unei lumi care, în cele din urmă, îi va amenința chiar propria viață. Poveștile adunate aici sunt, pe rând, comice, dramatice și profund emoționante. Fie că se hrănește, la limita subzistenței, cu omizi la cină în vremuri grele, fie că este aruncat dintr-o mașină în mișcare în timpul unei tentative de răpire, fie că încearcă pur și simplu să supraviețuiască capcanei vitale pe care o reprezintă relațiile amoroase în liceu, Trevor își dezvăluie lumea cu o inteligență incisivă și o sinceritate fără menajamente. Poveștile sale se împletesc pentru a forma un portret emoționant și extrem de amuzant al unui băiat care își croiește drum într-o lume decadentă, într-o perioadă periculoasă, înarmat doar cu un simț ascuțit al umorului și cu dragostea neconvențională și necondiționată a mamei sale. „Povestirile din copilărie ale lui Noah sunt spuse cu tot hazul și inteligența caracteristice stilului său de stand-up, punând în lumină o perioadă întunecată și brutală din istoria Africii de Sud, care nu trebuie uitată niciodată.“ ESQUIRE „Neliniștitoare, tristă și amuzantă... această carte nu este doar o relatare tulburătoare despre maturizarea unui copil în Africa de Sud sub apartheid, ci și o scrisoare de dragoste pentru remarcabila mamă a autorului.“ Michiko Kakutani, THE NEW YORK TIMES
