#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid “Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Trevor Noah kam 1984 im Township Soweto als Sohn einer Xhosa und eines Schweizers zur Welt. Zu einer Zeit, da das südafrikanische Apartheidsregime „gemischtrassige“ Beziehungen weiterhin unter Strafe stellte. Als Kind, das es nicht geben durfte, erlebte er Armut und systematischen Rassismus, aber auch die mutige Auflehnung seiner Eltern, die einfallsreich versuchten, Trennungen zwischen Ethnien und Geschlechtern zu überwinden. Heute ist er ein international gefeierter Comedian, der jahrelang die legendäre The Daily Show in den USA hostete und weltweit – ob Sydney, Dubai, Toronto, San Francisco oder Berlin – in ausverkauften Sälen auftritt. In »Born A Crime - Als Verbrechen geboren« erzählt Trevor Noah - »das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren« (Die Zeit) ebenso feinsinnig wie komisch in achtzehn Geschichten von seinem Aufwachsen in Südafrika, das den ganzen Aberwitz der Apartheid bündelt: warum ihn seine Mutter aus einem fahrenden Minibus warf, um Gottes Willen zu erfüllen, welche Musik er für einen tanzenden Hitler aufzulegen pflegte, um sein erstes Geld zu verdienen, und wie ihn eine Überwachungskamera, die nicht einmal zwischen Schwarz und Weiß unterscheiden konnte, vor dem Gefängnis bewahrte. „Er ist ein außerordentliches Talent, ein großartiger Geschichtenerzähler.“ (Der Spiegel) "Das größte internationale Comedy-Talent seit Jahren" (Die Zeit) erzählt von seiner Kindheit in den Townships Die Absurditäten der Apartheid und der Humor als Waffe Gesellschaftskritisch, pointiert – und unglaublich komisch

Inspirerend verhaal door comedian Trevor Noah, voor lezers van De jongen, de mol, de vos en het paard.

MÁS DE UN MILLÓN DE EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS NOMBRADO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO POR Michiko Kakutani, New York Times • USA Today • San Francisco Chronicle • NPR • Esquire • Newsday • Booklist 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.

Với trí tưởng tượng của mình, Trevor Noah đưa chúng ta bước vào một cuộc phiêu lưu đầy kỳ thú của cậu bé nhân vật chính cùng chú gấu bông già Walter. Cậu bé luôn háo hức khám phá cuộc sống, không muốn nghe lời người lớn. Ngược lại, chú gấu bông Walter luôn ở đó để nhắc nhở cậu những điều quan trọng. Thế là hai bên đã có một cuộc tranh luận. Cậu bé cho rằng mẹ cậu không biết gì về chuyện làm trẻ con, và cậu cũng đưa ra rất nhiều lý lẽ để biện minh cho việc cậu không muốn tuân theo quy tắc. Để thoát khỏi ngôi nhà đầy những quy tắc của mẹ, cậu bé đưa ra một quyết định là đi đến một nơi mình chưa từng đặt chân tới: tiến vào đồng cỏ hoang! Đó là hành trình tiến vào một thế giới khác, bên ngoài tổ ấm của cậu, đầy những điều mới lạ nhưng cũng lắm hiểm nguy và bất định. Trên đường đi, cậu bé và chú gấu bông già đã gặp thần lùn giữ vườn, hai cô ốc sên và những đồng xu cũ. Mỗi nhân vật đều mang lại cho cậu một câu chuyện đáng suy ngẫm. Nhờ đó, cậu bé (và cả chúng ta) dần nhận ra những góc nhìn khác về sự bất đồng và cách vượt qua những khác biệt của nhau để tìm ra điều gì là quan trọng nhất trong các mối quan hệ. Hài hước, tinh tế và nhẹ nhàng, hành trình của cậu bé và gấu bông Walter qua những trang minh họa sống động của Sabina Hahn sẽ dẫn dắt độc giả vào một thế giới tưởng tượng tràn ngập sắc màu và niềm vui nhưng vẫn đầy chiêm nghiệm với những lời khuyên sâu lắng mà không hề có cảm giác gượng ép. Tuy là sách tranh nhưng quyển sách này không chỉ dành cho trẻ em mà còn dành cho chúng ta – những người lớn đã từng là một đứa trẻ. Như tác giả đã nhắn gửi: “Nếu bạn vừa có con vừa có cha mẹ, hoặc không có cả hai, bạn vẫn có thể đọc quyển sách này cho chính mình, cho một người lạ hoặc cho một ai đó mà bạn yêu thương, thậm chí là đọc cho một chú ốc sên đang bò bên đường. Tôi hy vọng quyển sách này sẽ nhắc bạn nhớ rằng tất cả chúng ta đều đang cùng nhau trải qua hành trình chen chúc tiến vào đồng cỏ hoang”.

Nascido do crime apresenta a história impressionante, inspiradora e divertida da infância e juventude de Trevor Noah, um dos maiores comediantes da atualidade, ambientada durante os anos finais do apartheid e os dias tumultuosos de liberdade que se seguiram. A jornada extraordinária de Trevor Noah — da infância sob o apartheid, na África do Sul, à bancada de um dos mais importantes talk shows dos Estados Unidos — começou com um ato criminoso: seu nascimento. Trevor nasceu de pai branco e mãe negra, numa época em que essa união era punível com cinco anos de prisão. Prova viva de um crime, ele era mantido em segredo, uma das medidas extremas que sua mãe era obrigada a tomar para escondê-lo do governo, que a qualquer momento poderia levá-lo. Finalmente livres com o fim do apartheid, Trevor e a mãe embarcam numa grande aventura, abraçando as oportunidades conquistadas após séculos de lutas. Nascido do crime é a história de um jovem inquieto, que se sente deslocado tanto nas áreas dos brancos quanto nos subúrbios dos negros. É também a história do relacionamento desse jovem com sua mãe destemida, rebelde e fervorosamente religiosa — uma mulher determinada a salvar o filho do ciclo de pobreza, violência e abusos. As histórias contadas por Trevor Noah são hilárias, dramáticas e profundamente tocantes. Seja jantando lagartas em tempos difíceis, sendo arremessado de um carro em movimento durante uma tentativa de sequestro ou apenas sobrevivendo às armadilhas da vida amorosa na escola, Trevor joga luz em seu mundo com honestidade e humor cortante. Seus textos se entrelaçam para formar um retrato emocionante e divertido de um garoto tentando avançar na vida em uma época turbulenta, armado apenas com senso de humor agudo e o amor incondicional de sua mãe nada comum. "Um livro de memórias irresistível. Ao mesmo tempo alarmante, triste e divertido, Nascido do crime não é apenas um relato impressionante sobre como foi crescer na África do Sul sob o apartheid, mas uma carta de amor à mãe notável do autor." — Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "O que torna Nascido do crime uma leitura tão prazerosa, de nutrir a alma — mesmo com todos os componentes sombrios e lances perigosos —, é ver Noah contar, com sua prosa ágil e calorosamente coloquial, como aprendeu a abrir caminho em meio ao bullying e à rejeição. O que também ajudou foi ter uma mãe como Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah. Considere Nascido do crime um presente para ela — e um presente enorme para o resto de nós." — USA Today

A The Daily Show világszerte népszerű műsorvezetőjének elképesztően vicces és szívbemarkoló története. Trevor Noah valószínűtlen úton-módon jutott el a dél-afrikai apartheidből a The Daily Show asztala mögé, és már a születése is bűncselekménynek minősül: fehér svájci apa és fekete xhosza anya gyermekeként jött világra egy olyan időszakban, amikor öt év börtönbüntetéssel sújthatták az ilyen családokat. Szülei vétségének élő bizonyítékaként első éveit zárt ajtók mögött töltötte, mert anyja szélsőséges és nemegyszer abszurd mértékben rejtegette a kormányzat elől, amely egyik pillanatról a másikra elvehette volna tőle. Dél-Afrika fehér zsarnoksága alól felszabadulva pedig Trevor és édesanyja nekivágott a nagy kalandnak, hogy nyíltan, szabadon, a több évszázados viszontagságokon felülkerekedve megragadják új lehetőségeiket. A Bűnben születtem főhőse egy rosszcsont kissrác, aki nyughatatlan fiatalemberré érve keresi magát a világban, ahol a puszta létezését is megkérdőjelezik. A könyv nem csak róla szól, hanem rettenthetetlen, lázadó szellemiségű, mélyen vallásos édesanyjával való kapcsolatáról is. Az asszonyról, aki mindenáron ki akarta menteni fiát a nyomor, az erőszak és bántalmazás körforgásából, amely veszélybe sodorta az életét. A kötetben összegyűjtött tizennyolc személyes vallomás hol fergeteges, hol drámai, de mindvégig nagy hatást gyakorol az olvasóra. Trevor metsző szellemességgel és keresetlen őszinteséggel tárja fel különleges életét, legyen szó arról, hogy hernyót kell ennie az ínséges időkben, emberrablási kísérlet közben kihajítják egy mozgó járműből, vagy megpróbálja ép bőrrel megúszni a gimis csajozás élet-halál harcát. Egy olyan fiú megható, ellenállhatatlanul mulatságos portréja rajzolódik ki az elbeszélésekből, aki veszélyes időkben, egy szétesni készülő közegben tör utat magának, és egyedüli fegyvere az éles humorérzéke, illetve anyja rendhagyó, feltétel nélküli szeretete.
