A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is “I am.” For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vision God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God's word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision. You might ask, “What would be different about the way God sees me than the way I see myself?” Quite simply, God knows all there is to know about you. He knows you better than you know yourself.

Utopia Avenue was hot en happening in 1967-1968. Het was de eigenzinnigste band ever, al heb je er nog nooit van gehoord. In de psychedelische dampen van Londen spinnen folkzangeres Elf Holloway, gitaarvirtuoos Jasper de Zoet, bluesbassist Dean en jazzdrummer Griff, een op vele vlakken onwaarschijnlijk viertal, goud uit hun muzikale samenwerking. Ruige tochten langs achterafzaaltjes, seks, drugs en roem in Soho, nieuwe drank en oude demonen, ups en downs: alles levert stof voor de songs op hun enige twee elpees.

Über die phantastischste Sixties-Band, von der Sie noch nie gehört haben! In der Londoner Psychedelic-Szene der späten Sixties finden sich Folksängerin Elf Holloway, Bluesbassist Dean Moss, der Gitarrenvirtuose Jasper de Zoet and der Jazzdrummer Griff Griffin und erschaffen zusammen einen einzigartigen Sound. Dies ist die Geschichte von Utopia Avenues kurzer, rasanter Reise, von den kleinen Clubs in Soho und den englischen Provinzkäffern bis nach Amerika – gerade als der Sommer der Liebe etwas viel Dunklerem weicht.

Sechs Lebenswege, die sich unmöglich kreuzen können: darunter ein amerikanischer Anwalt, der um 1850 Ozeanien erforscht, ein britischer Komponist, der 1931 vor seinen Gläubigern nach Belgien flieht, und ein koreanischer Klon, der in der Zukunft wegen des Verbrechens angeklagt wird, ein Mensch sein zu wollen. Und dennoch sind diese Geschichten miteinander verwoben. Mitchells originelle Menschheitsgeschichte katapultiert den Hörer durch Räume, Zeiten, Genres und Erzählstile und liest sich dabei so leicht und fesselnd wie ein Abenteuerroman.

David Mitchell’s captivating new novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue. Can we change the world in turbulent times, or does the world change us?

Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell's subtlest and most effective achievement to date.

Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House.

Every nine years, the house's residents - an odd brother and sister - extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late....

Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, the key is control - of riches and minds and over death itself.
