A love story about divorce, a marriage coming apart and a family coming together. Marriage Story is a hilarious and harrowing, sharply observed, and deeply compassionate film from the acclaimed writer-director Noah Baumbach. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson deliver tour-de-force performances as Charlie, a charismatic New York theater director wedded to his work, and Nicole, an actor who is ready to change her own life. Their hopes for an amicable divorce fade as they are drawn into a system that pits them against each other and forces them to redefine their relationship and their family. Featuring bravura, finely drawn supporting turns from Alan Alda, Ray Liotta, and Laura Dern—who won an Academy Award for her performance here—as the trio of lawyers who preside over the legal battle, Marriage Story (nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture) is a work of both intimacy and scope that ultimately invokes hope amid the ruins.

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.
Adapted for younger readers from Born a Crime: And Other Stories- the #1 South African and New York Times bestseller ‘If my mother had one goal, it was to free my mind. My mother spoke to me like an adult. She was big into Psalms. I had to read Psalms every day. She would quiz me on it. “What does the passage mean? What does it mean to you? How do you apply it to your life:” That was every day of my life. My mom did what the school didn’t. She taught me how to think. In Born a Crime, Trevor Noah shares his remarkable story of growing up in South Africa with a black South African mother and a white European father at a time when it was against the law for a mixed-race child to exist. But he did exist and from the beginning, the often-misbehaved Trevor used his quick wits and humour to navigate a harsh life. This edition of Trevor’s fascinating memoir blends drama, comedy and tragedy to depict the day-to-day trials that turned a mischievous young boy into a restless young man. Against all the odds, and supported his mom’s unwavering love and indomitable will, Trevor overcame many obstacles and created a promising future for himself. Born a Crime provides a fascinating and honest perspective on South Africa’s racial history and it will also inspire readers looking to improve their own lives. TREVOR NOAH is a much-loved South African comedian, who is currently the host of The Daily Show.

Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky, ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on 'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings. Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and transform the show into something to be proud of?
