Fortfarande Alice
av Lisa Genova
Den thrillerspännande och hjärtslitande boken bakom storfilmen.

Alice Howland är en mycket välrenommerad Harvardprofessor på höjden av sin karriär när hon märker att hon börjar glömma saker. Först ett ord då hon håller en föreläsning, något som vanliga människor inte ens skulle reflektera över men som är en skrämmande upplevelse för den osedvanligt strukturerade och skärpta Alice. Och så den dag då hon under sin joggingtur i city upptäcker att hon inte vet var hon befinner sig. Hon söker läkare och får diagnosen tidig Alzheimer. Hon är femtio år gammal.

Fortfarande Alice handlar om en kvinna som rent bokstavligt tappar förståndet. Det är hjärtslitande sorgligt och fruktansvärt skrämmande men ändå inte alldeles becksvart. Alice växer också av sjukdomen, får en närhet till sin man och sina barn som hon inte haft särskilt mycket tid eller känslor för tidigare. För Alice är trots allt inte bara den galna Alzheimerpatienten hon är också fortfarande Alice: professor, lärare, maka, mor och till sist även mormor.

Lisa Genova är född 1970. Hon är fil.dr i neurovetenskap från Harvard och mycket engagerad i Alzheimerfrågor. Romandebuten Fortfarande Alice gav hon först ut själv innan den gavs ut på ett stort förlag. Boken har sedan dess legat 56 veckor på New York Times topplista, blivit flerfaldigt prisbelönad och givits ut i 31 länder. Filmen hade svensk premiär våren 2015 och har vunnit en lång rad priser, bl.a. belönades Julianne Moore med Oscar, Golden Globe och BAFTA för bästa kvinnliga huvudroll.

Still Alice
av Lisa Genova

Now a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and Kristen Stewart!Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimers disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away.

Tine minte
av Lisa Genova
O explorare fascinanta a modului complex in care ne aducem aminte, a motivelor pentru care uitam si a felului in care ne putem proteja memoriaAi intrat vreodata in panica pentru ca nu-ti aminteai numele actorului din filmul vazut doar cu o saptamana inainte? Te-ai dus intr-o camera, dar ai uitat de ce? Daca ai peste 40 de ani, probabil ca nu ti se pare amuzant; poate crezi ca sunt semne de Alzheimer sau dementa. Insa pentru cei mai multi dintre noi, este absolut normal. Memoria e departe de a fi perfecta, iar uitarea face parte din natura umana.In Tine minte, Lisa Genova analizeaza cum se formeaza amintirile si cum le regasesti, cum le pierzi temporar sau pentru totdeauna si de ce unele sunt create doar pentru cateva clipe, iar altele dureaza o viata. Vei intelege limbajul si functionarea memoriei, punctele ei forte incredibile si slabiciunile innebunitoare, vulnerabilitatile naturale si superputerile ei latente. Iar asta iti poate schimba viata.Un abecedar temeinic despre felul in care functioneaza sau nu memoria (...) Acest studiu este un punct de plecare accesibil pentru oricine se intreaba cum si de ce tot uita unde si-a lasat cheile de la masina." - Publishers WeeklyRecurgand la experienta de cercetator in neurostiinte si la darul ei de povestitor, Lisa Genova explica nuantele memoriei omenesti." - Steven Pinker, Universitatea Harvard, autorul volumului Cum functioneaza minteaNumeroasele exemple pe care le da Genova din viata personala si profesionala il ajuta pe cititor sa se raporteze la situatii similare, iar cunostintele ei evidente despre memorie si creier au ca rezultat o carte mai profunda decat multe altele pe acelasi subiect. Scriitura alerta si povestirea accesibila asigura o lectura convingatoare." - Kirkus Reviews

A devoted husband, proud father of four children in their twenties, and respected officer, Joe begins experiencing bouts of disorganized thinking, uncharacteristic temper outbursts, and strange, involuntary movements. He initially attributes these episodes to the stress of his job, but as these symptoms worsen, he agrees to see a neurologist and is handed a diagnosis that will change his and his familys lives forever: Huntingtons disease. Huntingtons is a lethal neurodegenerative disease with no treatment and no cure, and each of Joes four children has a 50 percent chance of inheriting their fathers disease.

As Joes symptoms worsen and hes eventually stripped of his badge and more, Joe struggles to maintain hope and a sense of purpose, while Katie and her siblings must find the courage to either live a life at risk or learn their fate.

';Unsparing in her depiction of the disease's harrowing effects, neuroscientist Genova also celebrates humanity.' People ';Sometimes it's easier to tell truth in fictionAnd she tells it with heart and hope.' NPR ';Her juxtaposition of scientific detail with compassionate, heartfelt storytelling is unparalleled.' Bookreporter ';Every Note Played will grip and gut you.' The Boston Globe From neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice comes a powerful exploration of regret, forgiveness, freedom, and what it means to be alive.An accomplished concert pianist, Richard received standing ovations from audiences all over the world in awe of his rare combination of emotional resonance and flawless technique. Every finger of his hands was a finely calibrated instrument, dancing across the keys and striking each note with exacting precision. That was eight months ago. Richard now has ALS, and his entire right arm is paralyzed. His fingers are impotent, still, devoid of possibility. The loss of his hand feels like a death, a loss of true love, a divorcehis divorce. He knows his left arm will go next. Three years ago, Karina removed their framed wedding picture from the living room wall and hung a mirror there instead. But she still hasn't moved on. Karina is paralyzed by excuses and fear, stuck in an unfulfilling life as a piano teacher, afraid to pursue the path she abandoned as a young woman, blaming Richard and their failed marriage for all of it. When Richard becomes increasingly paralyzed and is no longer able to live on his own, Karina becomes his reluctant caretaker. As Richard's muscles, voice, and breath fade, both he and Karina try to reconcile their past before it's too late. Poignant and powerful, Every Note Played is a masterful exploration of redemption and what it means to find peace inside of forgiveness.
