Synopsis
Bestselling authors bring together a thought-provoking collection of short stories, each inspired by one of thirty human rights adopted by the United Nations and promoted by Amnesty International. Freedom is a mix of thoughtful, serious, funny, and thrilling stories that harness the power of literature to celebrate--and affirm--our shared humanity. Published in association with Amnesty International, an array of internationally acclaimed & award-winning writers remind us these fundamental freedoms - ratified in 1948 - are just as crucial to protect and uphold today as ever. The United Nations took a moral stand against human rights crimes and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a proclamation of thirty rights that belong to us all, starting memorably with Article 1: "All human beings are born free and equal." Amnesty International is one of several international organizations promoting UDHR. It is a world-leading grassroots human rights organization & a global movement of millions of people demanding human rights for all people - no matter who they are or where they are. Authors include: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kate Atkinson, Ishmael Beah, Paulo Coelho, Nadine Gordimer, Marina Lewycka, Henning Mankell, Yann Martel, Rohinton Minstry, David Mitchell, Walter Mosley, Joyce Carol Oates.

- s***p (210)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFirst time purchase from this seller, and I'd buy from them again. Book was nicely packaged to keep it secure during travel. As a lifelong bibliophile, I appreciate sellers who care about the books they send out. Condition was as described, and I believe that the photo in the listing was the same as the book I received: no stock photo used. Item shipped the same day as purchase, and arrived in 6 days, including a Sunday and a holiday.Shadows of Myth Paperback Rachel Lee (#305670417298)

- i***m (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI was quite surprised with how well packaged my item was! It was sealed tightly in it's own plastic bag on top of the plentiful amount of bubble wrap included. It was at a fair price and the cost of shipping was about right for the item. It was in mint condition just as described. The only setback was the shipping being pushed back due to poor weather but this neither the fault of the seller or the shipping company. Otherwise, everything was great and I'm happy with the product!Just One Year Carter's My first lamb Stuffed Plush Baby Rattle Toy 8" (#306101902324)
