Trevor Noah Knihy

Presvedčivý, inšpiratívny a komicky vznešený príbeh dospievania v doznievajúcom apartheide a búrlivých dňoch slobody, ktoré nasledovali. Zázračná cesta Trevora Noaha z juhoafrického apartheidu k pracovnému stolu The Daily Show sa začala kriminálnym činom: jeho narodením. Trevor je potomkom bieleho Švajčiara a čiernej matky. V tom čase im za takéto spojenie hrozilo päť rokov väzenia. Bol živým dôkazom nerozvážnosti svojich rodičov, preto musel stráviť prvých päť rokov života schovaný vnútri, aby ho matka ochránila pred vládnymi úradníkmi, ktorí ho kedykoľvek mohli odviesť. Trevorove zážitky sú veselé a dramaticky pôsobivé. Či už večeria húsenice, lebo časy sú ťažké, alebo ho počas únosu vyhodia z idúceho auta, Trevor opisuje svoj zvláštny svet vtipne a pravdivo. Výsledkom je dojemný a smutno zábavný portrét chlapca, ktorého dnes vďaka televíznym obrazovkám pozná celý svet.

Tento krásne ilustrovaný príbeh o dobrodružstve a kamarátstve je vhodný pre všetky vekové kategórie. Trevor Noah so svojím typickým zmyslom pre humor a bezhraničnou predstavivosťou ukazuje, aká dôležitá je láskavosť a zvedavosť vo svete plnom konfliktov.Vo vysokej tráve je príbeh o ceste malého dieťaťa do sveta za bránami domova, do čarovnej krajiny, v ktorej objavuje tajomstvá solidarity, spojenia a harmónie s ľuďmi, ktorých máme radi.Elegantný a inšpiratívny príbeh ponúka nadčasové posolstvá, ku ktorým sa môžeme neustále vracať. Je venovaná predstavivosti, ktorá žije v každom z nás, a trpezlivo čaká, kým sa zatúlame späť a preskúmame ju. Jednoduché, ale nie zjednodušené ilustrácie vyjadrujú myšlienky a skvelo prepájajú príbeh s umením.

"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"-- Publisher's website
