Withings Withings Body Smart - waga z analizą składu masy ciała (white) sku: WBS13-White-All-Inter, brand: Withings, ean: 3700546708206

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire.On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty's Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as "the prize of all the oceans," it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes - they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death-for whomever the court found guilty could hang.The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann's recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O'Brian, his portrayal of the castaways' desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann's work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.

Ny hyllad bästsäljare av författaren till Killers of the Flower Moon Det som jag framför allt tar med mig är hur precist han skildrar det monotona skeppslivet och känslan av att själva befinna mig mitt i fartygets inre djungel bland hängmattor, stanker och olika dialekter. Läsfåtöljen har aldrig känts lika bekväm. Samuel Mesterton, Amelia Wager är en av de bästa böcker om verkliga händelser jag någonsin läst. Ett mästerverk. Matthew Teague, The Guardian Den 28 januari 1742 spolas en skranglig farkost ihopbyggd av trä och tyg upp på Brasiliens kust. Inuti den finns trettio utmärglade, närmast livlösa män med en fantastisk historia att berätta. De är överlevande från The Wager, ett brittiskt fartyg som lämnade England 1740 på hemligt uppdrag och som jagade ett spanskt skepp fyllt av rikedomar när de gick på grund vid en karg och öde ö utanför Patagoniens kust. Efter att ha varit nära svält i månader konstruerade de sin farkost och seglade därefter i över hundra dagar. De togs emot som hjältar.Men sex månader senare dyker ytterligare en, än mer förfallen farkost upp, denna gång på Chiles kust. Denna rymmer bara tre skeppsbrutna män, med en helt annan historia att berätta. Det visar sig att Wagers besättning, medan de var skeppsbrutna, förfallit till anarki och stridande fraktioner. Ömsesidiga anklagelser leder till att man sammankallar en militärdomstol, där liv och död står på spel - och där de skyldiga riskerar att hängas.Wager är en storslagen historia om mänskligt beteende i den mest extrema av situationer, skildrad av en av vår tids största historieberättare. I översättning av Manne Svensson. DAVID GRANN [f. 1967] är en amerikansk bästsäljande författare och mångfaldigt prisbelönt journalist för The New Yorker. Hans Killers of the Flower Moon [2017] tog sig an ett ouppklarat mysterium och en ljusskygg del av USA:s historia. Boken har också blivit film, i regi av Martin Scorsese och med Leonardo DiCaprio i en av huvudrollerna. Den hyllade New York Times-bästsäljaren Wager är den andra av hans böcker som kommer ut på svenska, och liksom föregångaren kommer även den att bli film i ett samarbete mellan Martin Scorsese och Leonardo DiCaprio. Det är en mycket välberättad historia och detta att ingen riktigt kan veta vad som egentligen hände, bokens huvudtema, hanterar Grann synnerligen elegant. Betyg: 5 av 5 - Dick Nilsson, BTJ Djupt fängslande. Wager är som en thriller. Den tacklar en historia med många lager, liksom frågan om imperialism, med liv och energi. Time Mästerlig. Wall Street Journal

A Demon's Wager

Den 28. januar 1742 skyller en synkeferdig seilskute opp på kysten av Brasil. Om bord er tretti avmagrede menn, knapt i live, som har en ekstraordinær historie å fortelle. De er overlevende fra Wager, et britisk fartøy som hadde forlatt England i 1740 for å jakte på en spansk gallion full av skatter. Wager hadde forlist på en øde øy utenfor Patagonia etter å ha rundet Kapp Horn. Her utviklet det seg til rent anarki. Kapteinen ble utsatt for mytteri, og mytteristene satte til havs igjen. De blir hyllet som helter da de omsider kommer seg hjem. Seks måneder seinere dukker kapteinen og hans menn opp i England. De har en helt annen historie å fortelle. Dette er en storslått fortelling om ekstreme utfordringer, overlevelse og selve kampen om verdensherredømme. «Et mesterverk. Svært spennende dokumentar om en desperat seilas som startet i 1740, og som får bøkene til havets forfattere som Melville og O'Brian til å blekne.» Stein Roll, Adresseavisen (Terningkast 6) «Heidundrende litterær seilas! David Granns historie om det ulykksalige skipet Wager er en ramsalt skipperskrøne fra virkeligheten. (...) «Mytteriet på Wager» er en sydende sterk cocktail av like deler kulturforståelse, krim fra virkeligheten og maritim historie.» Sindre Hovdenakk, VG (Terningkast 5) «Eventyrlig fortelling om en av verdens hardeste seilas.» Mats Mørk, Dagbladet (Terningkast 5) «Ramsalt, medrivande og sann historisk krim. Resultatet er ei vakker bok, med mykje bildemateriale og historiske kart, som også er basert på grundig kjeldegransking i eit uventa godt dokumentert hendingsforløp.» Rolv Nøtvik Jakobsen, Vårt Land «Meisterleg om mytteri. Gjennom eminent kjeldebruk skriv David Grann seg tett opptil hendingar for snart 300 år sidan. Mytteriet på Wager er litterær sakprosa av topp kvalitet.» Oddmund Hagen , Dag og Tid «En oppslukende og hjerteskjærende beretning fra det tøffe livet på sjøen. Det oser tang, sjøsprøyt og blod av sidene i den brutale historien om forliset til seilskuten Wager.» Øyvind Holen, DN
