3. The Prince's Playbook - Nora Phoenix
|
|||
|
The BRAND NEW spicy, royally romantic MM hockey romance for fans of Rachel Reid's Heated Rivalry, Casey McQuiston and Alexis Hall! 💙🏒🌶 Every book in The Prince Pact series can be read as a standalone. The rules are simple: protect my secret and never—ever—fall for a player. Coaching college hockey was supposed to be a fresh start for the next year anyway. A chance to leave behind the royal spotlight and just be Nils, the guy who loves the game. No one knows I’m a Swedish prince, and I plan to keep it that way. Then I meet Adan. Talented. Fiercely competitive. And somehow, despite every rule and reason not to, I can’t stop wanting him. He’s not much younger than me, but I’m assigned to work one-on-one with him. I’m technically his coach, and I’m supposed to be the line he doesn’t cross. But then we kiss and everything blurs. For Adan, it’s a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. For me, it’s a risk I shouldn’t take—because if anyone finds out, I could lose more than just my job. Adan thinks I’m afraid of getting caught. But he doesn’t know what’s really at stake. There’s no chapter in my playbook for this. And no easy way out—except risking it all. Praise for Nora Phoenix and The Prince Pact: 'Nora wrote the characters in such a relatable way that I was gunning for them both, and when they finally set everything aside and fell for each other? Swoon!' Saxon James 'What starts as a hate-fueled rivalry quickly shifts into scorching secretive hook-ups with so much chemistry, it oozes off the page. Score one for Nora Phoenix because Farron and Tore are the epitome of enemies to lovers.' CE Ricci ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘OBSESSED. these two are one of my fav couples EVER’ Reader Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’This was a great read for fans of red, white, and royal blue.’ Reader Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’I devoured this book in a day! It was completely addictive…the Chemistry was off the charts’ Reader Review |
4. His Dangerous Love On Ice - Quinn Sullivan
|

|
"Date me. Be my partner. Publicly. We attend events together. Build your profile. Make Cole Maddox regret every single decision he's ever made in his pathetic life." "Fake date you?" "Does it matter if it's fake?" He tilted his head, and the movement made me notice how close he was. Too close. Not close enough. "The result is the same. Cole suffers. You move on looking like you upgraded. Everyone wins." I'd been the perfect girlfriend to my star hockey player for two years. Stood in the rain at his practices. Drove hours just to watch him warm benches. Wore his jersey like it meant something. And he repaid me by f*****g his way through half of Chicago—including the sister of the one man he's been obsessed with for years. Zane Mercer. The NHL's most dangerous player. My stepfather's worst enemy. And the man who looked at me like I was something worth destroying the world for. One impossible offer. One desperate bet. One night that changed everything. Zane doesn't do fake. He doesn't do half measures. When he tells me I'm his for two months, he means it. In every way that matters. But Zane has secrets buried so deep they connect to my family's past in ways I never imagined. Dark secrets. Deadly ones. What starts as a transaction turns into obsession. What starts as revenge turns into something I can't walk away from. And what starts as a lie might be the only truth that matters. They say some men are too dangerous to love. They're right. But I was never good at following warnings. This book contains explicit s****l content, dominant/possessive behavior, morally gray characters, family conflict, and themes that may be triggering. Intended for mature readers 18+. This isn't your normal hockey romance. It's dark, raw, and unrelenting—where obsession, desire, and power collide, and nothing is off-limits. |

All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him.

I loved it.' THE TIMES 'A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world.' BOOKLIST |

9. Apple - David Pogue
|

|
This book lavishly illustrates the first 50 years of Apple ’ s history through stunning, full-color photographs. Instant New York Times Bestseller In time for Apple’s 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company’s entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world. The book features new facts that correct the record and illuminate its subversive culture and fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today. On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup. Their goal: To bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone. Over the next five decades, Apple reshaped the technology and cultural landscapes, introducing the public to breakthroughs like the mouse, laser printing, CD-ROM, WiFi, digital video, home networking, touchscreen phones, and tablets. Jobs’s obsessive eye for detail set the stage for products—Mac, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch—that married advanced technology with beauty, simplicity, and fine design. Deeply researched, Apple: The First 50 Years includes new interviews with 150 key people who made the journey, including Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, Jony Ive, and many current designers, engineers, and executives. The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple’s dominance as it enters its second half century. Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple’s unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched. |

Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal… Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He definitely doesn’t want to “work on his online presence" with the team’s peppy social media manager. Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn’t happy about the trade, but Harris doesn’t give up on people easily. Even when he’s developing a crush he’s sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy’s smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior… That’s a man Harris couldn’t turn his back on if he wanted to. Suddenly, Troy’s move to the new team feels like an opportunity—for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

Experience out-of-this world adventure and dangerous politics as Maggie tries to survive waking up in her favourite fictional world. A heart-pounding epic from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author duo Ilona Andrews. When Maggie wakes up cold, filthy and naked in a gutter, it doesn’t take her long to recognize Kair Toren. It’s a city she knows intimately from the pages of a famously unfinished dark fantasy series – one she’s been obsessively reading and re-reading, while waiting years for the final novel.

But while she quickly discovers she cannot be killed (though many will try!), the same cannot be said for the living, breathing characters she’s coming to love. Maggie joins a motley band that includes a former lady’s maid, a deadly assassin, various outrageous magical creatures and a dangerously appealing soldier. Soon, instead of trying to return home, she finds herself enmeshed in the schemes – and attentions – of duelling princes, dukes and villains. This all while trying to save them and the kingdom of Rellas from the ending she’s seen on the page: a cataclysmic war.

An almost-mage discovers friendship—and maybe something more—in the unlikeliest of places in this delightfully charming novel from the USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes . Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful—to the Guild of Mages that took her in as a novice, to the little brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn’t proven much use to anyone . When Certainty has the chance to earn her magehood via a seemingly straightforward assignment, she takes it. Nevermind that she’ll have to work with Mage Aurelia, the brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who’s managed to alienate everyone around her. The two must transport minorly magical artifacts somewhere safe: Shpelling, the dullest, least magical village around. There, they must fix up an old warehouse, separate the gossipy teapots from the kind-of-flaming swords, corral an unruly little catdragon who has tagged along, and above all, avoid complications. The Guild’s uneasy relationship with citizens is at a tipping point, and the last thing needed is a magical incident . Still, as mage and novice come to know Shpelling’s residents—and each other—they realize the Guild’s hoarded magic might do more good being shared. Friendships blossom while Certainty and Aurelia work to make Shpelling the haven it could be. But magic is fickle—add attraction and it might spell trouble. |

Discover an American masterpiece. This unassuming story about the life of a quiet English professor has earned the admiration of readers all over the globe. William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude. John Williams’s luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world. |

36. Stories of Your Life and Others - Ted Chiang
|
|||
|
‘A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.’ – Guardian With Stories of Your Life and Others , multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose. The science fiction novella 'Story of Your Life' is the basis for the Academy Award nominated film Arrival . From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life. From a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality. Chiang’s rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it. ‘United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang’s calm passion.’ – China Miéville |

The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre. 'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson The Scavenger species are circling. It is, truly, the End Days for the Gzilt civilisation. An ancient people, organised on military principles and yet almost perversely peaceful, the Gzilt helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier. Now they've made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilisations: they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence. But, amid preparations, the Regimental High Command is destroyed. Vyr Cossont, a former soldier for the Gzilt, appears to have been involved, and she is now wanted - dead, not alive. Aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete a final mission; she must find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might just hold the key to understanding what happened . . . The final days of the Gzilt civilisation may prove its most perilous. Praise for the Culture series: 'Epic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution' Independent on Sunday 'Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future' Guardian 'Jam-packed with extraordinary invention' Scotsman 'Compulsive reading' Sunday Telegraph The Culture series: Consider Phlebas The Player of Games Use of Weapons Excession Inversions Look to Windward Matter Surface Detail The Hydrogen Sonata The State of the Art Other books by Iain M.

40. Tysk höst - Stig Dagerman
|
|||
|
Stig Dagermans mest unika uppdrag som journalist var när Expressen föreslog att han skulle åka till Tyskland hösten 1946. Landet låg i spillror efter kriget och rapporterna därifrån var få och motstridiga. De artiklar han skrev under sin resa samlades sedan i boken Tysk höst, som kommit att framstå som ett unikt verk i genren. På många sätt grundmurade Stig Dagerman med Tysk höst ryktet om sig som en av Europas främsta litterära röster. Hans sätt att skriva journalistisk prosa har varit stilbildande, och hans rapport från ett krossat Tyskland har genom åren blivit en viktig studie av krigets brutala efterverkningar. Med ett nyskrivet förord av Elfriede Jelinek. Utgåvan är kommenterad av Dagermanspecialisten Hans Sandberg. |

"Raw, dark, yet achingly tender, Dark Notes is a scorching-hot masterpiece as beautifully written as the music within." ~ Anna Zaires, NY Times Bestselling Author They call me a slut. Maybe I am. Sometimes I do things I despise. Sometimes men take without asking. But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan. With one obstacle. Emeric Marceaux doesn't just take. He seizes my will power and bangs it like a dark note. When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything. I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments. He's my obsession, my master, my music. And my teacher. |
42. Age of Myth - Michael J. Sullivan
|

|
One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground. Michael J. Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series. Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun. Magic, fantasy, and mythology collide in Michael J. Sullivan’s Legends of the First Empire series: AGE OF MYTH • AGE OF SWORDS • AGE OF WAR |

|

|
"Romanen sjuder av ömhet och hjärtskärande sorg" Göteborgs-Posten "En måste-läsning om att vara människa som berör på djupet och bär på både hopp och medmänsklighet." M-Magasin Demon Copperhead kommer till världen på ett badrumsgolv i en husvagn. Hans artonåriga mamma ligger utslagen av droger och är knappt vid medvetande. Så börjar Demon sitt liv, redan på förhand dömd till en tillvaro kantad av fosterhemsplaceringar, utsatthet och missbruk. I Lee County, Virginia, i Appalachernas sydliga delar växer Demon upp. Här är fattigdomen lika självklar som luften man andas och här marknadsför läkemedelsindustrin skoningslöst sina opioider mot de redan utsatta. Missbruket växer till en epidemi som slår hårt mot hela samhället. Utan några andra tillgångar än sitt kopparfärgade hår, sin krassa humor och sin starka överlevnadsinstinkt, tar sig Demon Copperhead igenom barndomen och ungdomsåren. Han bärs av drömmen som hållit honom uppe ända sedan han var liten: att en dag få se havet. Frågan är vad som krävs för att den ska bli sann. Demon Copperhead är en storslagen och drabbande roman om kärlek, förlust och allt däremellan. Den är också en skoningslös blick på det samhälle som än i dag tillåter de allra svagaste att gå under.

Cina och Sollan - två kvinnor på väg åt samma håll, men med helt olika liv. När den stressade rektorn Cina, med ett visst kontrollbehov, missar snabbtåget och tvingas ta ett långsamt tillbaka till Göteborg, känns dagen som en enda lång uppförsbacke. I sätet bredvid henne sätter sig Sollan – en till synes lugn och samlad kvinna, men med ett brev i väskan som innehåller ett besked hon ännu inte orkat ta in. Vad som börjar med frustration, snäsiga kommentarer och en lång tågförsening blir snart en resa som ingen av dem kunnat ana. I den slitna restaurangvagnen, över ljummet kaffe och räkmackor, växer ett samtal fram om kärlek, sorg, mod och allt det som inte blev. Och det som blev, fast kanske inte så bra. När tåget till slut rullar in i Göteborg är ingenting längre som förut. Ett oväntat möte har väckt något nytt – en spirande vänskap och kanske en ny början för dem båda. Något som kommer att visa sig vara den räddning Sollan så desperat behöver – likaväl som Cina. Tanter på tåg är en varm, humoristisk och livsklok roman om oväntade möten, kvinnlig vänskap och modet att ta nya beslut – berättad med Jessika Deverts träffsäkra blick för vardagens sorger och glädjeämnen. |

61. A Woman In Berlin - Anonymous author
|
|||
|
'This is a devastating book. It is matter-of-fact, makes no attempt to score political points, does not attempt to solicit sympathy for its protagonist and yet is among the most chilling indictments of war I have ever read. Everybody, in particular every woman ought to read it' ARUNDHATI ROY 'One of the most important personal accounts ever written about the effects of war and defeat' ANTONY BEEVOR Between April 20th and June 22nd 1945 the anonymous author of A Woman in Berlin wrote about life within the falling city as it was sacked by the Russian Army. Fending off the boredom and deprivation of hiding, the author records her experiences, observations and meditations in this stark and vivid diary. Accounts of the bombing, the rapes, the rationing of food and the overwhelming terror of death are rendered in the dispassionate, though determinedly optimistic prose of a woman fighting for survival amidst the horror and inhumanity of war. This diary was first published in America in 1954 in an English translation and in Britain in 1955. A German language edition was published five years later in Geneva and was met with tremendous controversy. In 2003, over forty years later, it was republished in Germany to critical acclaim - and more controversy. This diary has been unavailable since the 1960s and this is a new English translation. A Woman in Berlin is an astonishing and deeply affecting account. |

From Booktok sensation Harley Laroux, author of the  New York Times  bestseller  Her Soul to Take , part two of the infamously spicy, irresistibly dark, Why Choose bully duology – perfect for readers of Sadie Kincaid, LJ Shen, and Eva Ashwood. Every action has consequences. I made one foolish mistake and ended up with a debt I had only one way to pay...by bowing my head and submitting to the men I swore I hated. But in their dominance I found catharsis. In the darkness we share, parts of myself were brought to the light. I've been wearing a mask for far too long. Now I'm torn between the future I thought I wanted, and a life I once believed was only fantasy. These feelings between us were never just a game. What am I willing to sacrifice? My pride and carefully laid plans, my determination that I can do it all alone? Or my new-found freedom to live without boundaries with the men who turned my world on its head? How much am I willing to give up? Who am I willing to lose? |

City of Women by David Gillham is a gripping tale of life in Berlin at the height of the Second World War. 'In the very darkest hour, who do you trust, who do you love, and who can be saved? ' It is 1943 - the height of the Second World War. With the men taken by the army, Berlin has become a city of women. And while her husband fights on the Eastern Front, Sigrid Schroder is, for all intents and purposes, the model soldier's wife: she goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her meddling mother-in-law. But behind this facade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former Jewish lover, who is now lost in the chaos of the war. Sigrid's tedious existence is turned upside-down when she finds herself hiding a mother and her two young daughters: could they be her lover's family? Now she must make terrifying choices that could cost her everything. 'Gillham's Berlin is a terrified city, where nobody dare speak the truth and the smallest decision can cost you your life. A terrifically tense first novel' The Times 'In this moving and masterful debut, David Gillham brings war-torn Berlin to life and reveals the extraordinary mettle of women tested to their limits and beyond. Powerful and piercingly real. You won't soon forget these characters.' Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife 'David Gillham's excellent new novel, City of Women, is built on one of the most extraordinary and faithful recreations of a time in history - Berlin in World War II - that I've ever read.'

Because Beta Mateo—the man who sacrificed everything for her—is now bound to her in ways none of them expected. He killed his mate to save Katya. Now, he is left in a dangerous limbo, caught between his love for his Alpha, his growing feelings for his Luna, and the curse that threatens to destroy them all. The key to breaking the curse is choice. But what happens when choosing means risking it all? Will Katya accept Mateo as her second mate, or will she stay true to the mate bond she fought for with Ezra? And if the only way to break the Moon Goddess’ curse is to defy fate itself, will any of them survive the consequences? This is a slow-burn why choose fantasy shifter romance filled with fated mates, forbidden love, and the weight of destiny.

Roland Tankowicz prefers to stay out of corporate wars; however, some battles just can't be avoided. Racing back home after the encounter with the Prospectors, Roland and his team find themselves pulled off course when an old foe resurfaces to thwart their plan for a clean getaway. Things get worse when the chase leads them to Gethsemane. Dominated by a powerful religious order that is long on profit and short on salvation, the green and wealthy planet proves to be treacherous ground for those who don't fit in. If the corporations battling for supremacy were not enough, competing factions from Gethsemane stalk the fixers as well. Some want what the corporations are fighting over, others want something altogether more unseemly.

All's fair in love and war! Roland Tankowicz is not a complex man. All he wants is to get back to work maintaining the balance of power in Dockside. He's perfectly happy with an honest day's work of busting heads followed by a quick jaunt over to his favorite bar for a beer. Too bad the universe has other plans. A cryptic job offer from a good client hurls New Boston's most infamous team of fixers hundreds of light-years from Earth. At first, the gig seems normal enough: Stop a rampaging android before it destroys a whole colony of unarmed scientists. Other than the obvious lies being told by the client and the addition of several competing mega-corporations, it's pretty standard fare for Roland and his team. But things take a turn for the bizarre when Pike's Privateers show up with information that changes their corporate milk run into a quagmire of backroom deals, industrial espionage, and murder. How did a bunch of pacifist scientists get a combat android? What kind of deal are they working with OmniCorp? What does the death of one old farmer have to do with any of this? Roland, Lucia, and the rest of the crew have just a few days to find the answer to these questions. One thing is clear: there's a corporate war brewing. This one tiny colony perched on a faraway mudball looks to be the flashpoint that plunges the rest of the galaxy into fiscal and physical chaos. Can anyone stamp out the fire before it is too late?  It will take more than technological might or overwhelming firepower to avert a catastrophe this time. It will take the kind of love that does not alter, and bears out all the way to— THE EDGE OF DOOM |

Vad får en småbarnsmor att gå ner till sjön med stenar fastbundna runt midjan? Varför smyger två systrar sig in hos den alko holiserade poeten i grannskapet för att tvätta hennes hår? Och vem är det som ringer tysta, nattliga samtal till pappan vars tvååring förlorat rösten efter att ha svalt ett batteri? "Novellerna i Det goda onda är starkt suggestiva och oroande. De tycks sväva som feberdrömmar, mellan hemmets trygga vardag och det undermedvetnas skarpa, oförutsägbara, visionära språng." Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times "Schweblin är en mästare på gränser, konturer, antydningar. Samtidens mest briljanta novellförfattare ger oss här sin mest hemsökande, intensiva och provokativa bok." Valeria Luiselli, författare till De förlorade barnen: ett arkiv SAMANTA SCHWEBLIN är född i Buenos Aires och bor numera i Berlin.

"En av de mest hyllade spanskspråkiga författarna i sin generation." New York Times "En mästerlig samling Schweblin är en arvtagare till David Lynch och Kafka, men hennes röst är helt och hållet hennes egen." Financial Times "Samanta Schweblin förenar den intensiva drivkraft som kännetecknar all stor berättarkonst med precisa, om än kusliga, skildringar av mänskliga känslor som ofta saknar namn – dessa tvetydiga zoner av verklighet där vördnad, fruktan och begär blandas."

But when an unexpected encounter pulls an old love and an unfinished dream back into view, Hannah is forced to confront the quiet truth she has spent years avoiding—she has not been living badly, only cautiously.   As the distance grows between who she is and who she meant to become, Hannah finds herself pulled between loyalty, longing, fear, and the terrifying possibility that the life she wants may still be within reach. With her closest relationships beginning to shift under the weight of what remains unsaid, she must decide whether courage is something people are born with—or something they build one honest choice at a time.   Two Percent Braver is an emotionally rich contemporary novel about self-betrayal, second chances, and the small acts of bravery that can change a life. |

87. Antigone reine - rentrée littéraire janvier 2026 - Lolita Pille
|
|||
|
Je suis hantée par l'identité de la littérature, par la nature de son influence sur nous et sur le monde, par sa survie. Quand la politique fonctionne comme une fabrique de l'ennemi, si un art de raconter nous élève, c'est bien la littérature. Invitation à cultiver notre " attention extrême ", elle nous révèle d'autres vérités sur nous-mêmes que celles blessées par le pouvoir et la culture médiatique, réconcilie nos identités en guerre, nous convie à une expérience du plaisir plus forte que les drogues. Je crois, après Virginia Woolf et Pier Paolo Pasolini, que l'art est par essence antifasciste : il nous apprend à devenir des sujets clairvoyants et, quand il le faut, révolutionnaires. Aussi ai-je imaginé la littérature sous les traits d'une Antigone, dressée contre les tyrannies actuelles. J'appelle à réaliser cette utopie : Antigone devient reine, l'intelligence humaine reprend le pouvoir et change la fin de l'histoire. Dans cet essai ardent, punk et érudit, Lolita Pille crée une pensée autonome ; elle poursuit le projet fou qui vise à rétablir la littérature à une place sacrée. Convoquant sa vie personnelle autant que ses auteurs de chevet – des anciens Grecs à Nietzsche, de Sylvia Plath à Marcel Proust –, la romancière culte de Hell et Éléna et les joueuses nous invite à choisir l'art pour renouer avec l'amour véritable. |

|

|
“Is watching people masturbate how you spend your night?” He stepped forward, eyes glinting in moonlight. “You’re Rosette.” He tilted his head, smiling like the sin he already was. “Did you enjoy watching Axel beat his meat with your name on his lips?” She tried to back away—he followed. “Are you wet down there, Rosette?” His breath grazed her ear. “I could feel how turned on you are… I could smell it.” He leaned closer, voice a low growl. “I’m worse, sweetheart.” ******* My mother’s remarriage should have saved me, but it trapped me in the Varkas mansion—home to secrets, danger, and temptation. Living here means sharing a roof with the Varkas brothers: Beautiful. Possessive. And absolutely off-limits. Kross is calm but cracks when I get too close. Axel burns hot and wild, touching me like I’m the only thing keeping him alive. Kade is quiet and sharp, seeing everything I try to hide. They call me stepsister, but their eyes say otherwise. Their touch is forbidden, their desire inhuman. I should run. I should fight. But the truth is... I can’t resist any of it. A paranormal dark romance filled with forbidden love, possessive alpha energy, and spicy monster tension, blending the danger of stepbrother romance with the addictive pull of reverse harem temptation. NOTE: A fair warning before you open this book. It’s dark, filled with sensual fantasies, fleshing longings, erotic musings, and lots, and lots of smut. BOOK 3/4 of Reverse harem Dark Romance series (CH110-192) |
89. Peter Pan - James Matthew Barrie
|

|
Peter Pan oder Der Junge, der nicht erwachsen werden wollte ist ein Roman von J.M. Barrie. Dieses beliebte Buch erzählt die Geschichte von Peter Pan, einem schelmischen und abenteuerlustigen Jungen, der fliegen kann und nie altert. Peter lebt in der magischen Welt von Nimmerland und ist der Anführer der verlorenen Jungen. Das Stück beginnt im Kinderzimmer der Familie Darling in London, wo Peter Pan Wendy, John und Michael Darling besucht und sie mit Geschichten aus Nimmerland in seinen Bann zieht. Er bringt ihnen das Fliegen mit Hilfe von Feenstaub bei, der von Tinker Bell, einer Fee, die auf Wendys Beziehung zu Peter eifersüchtig ist, zur Verfügung gestellt wird. In Nimmerland treffen die Kinder auf eine Vielzahl fantastischer Gestalten, darunter Meerjungfrauen, amerikanische Ureinwohner und Piraten. Der berüchtigtste dieser Piraten ist der schurkische Kapitän Hook, der sich an Peter Pan rächen will, weil er ihm die Hand abgeschnitten und an ein Krokodil verfüttert hat. Dieses Krokodil hat Geschmack an Hook gefunden und folgt ihm ständig in der Hoffnung auf mehr. James Matthew Barrie, der Autor von Peter Pan, wurde 1860 im schottischen Kirriemuir geboren und entwickelte schon früh eine Leidenschaft für das Erzählen von Geschichten. Nach seinem Studium an der Universität Edinburgh zog er nach London, wo er zunächst als Journalist und später als erfolgreicher Dramatiker arbeitete. J. M. Barrie wurde vor allem durch seine enge Beziehung zur Llewelyn-Davies-Familie inspiriert. Die fünf Jungen – George, John, Peter, Michael und Nico – regten seine Fantasie an und lieferten viele Ideen für die Figuren und Abenteuer in Peter Pan. Barrie verbrachte viel Zeit mit ihnen im Kensington Gardens Park in London, wo sie gemeinsam spielten, Geschichten erfanden und in imaginäre Welten eintauchten. Aus diesen gemeinsamen Erlebnissen entstanden erste Skizzen der "Little White Bird"-Erzählungen, in denen Peter Pan erstmals auftauchte. Auch Barries eigene Sehnsucht nach einer unbeschwerten Kindheit und seine Faszination für das Thema des Nicht-Erwachsenwerdens spielten eine entscheidende Rolle. Der frühe Tod seines älteren Bruders, der mit 13 Jahren starb und in den Augen ihrer Mutter "für immer ein Junge blieb", prägte ihn tief und floss ebenfalls in das Motiv des ewigen Kindes ein. Barrie blieb kinderlos, fühlte sich jedoch Kindern besonders verbunden und fand in ihrer Fantasie eine Quelle kreativer Energie. 1904 brachte er das Theaterstück Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up auf die Bühne, das ihm internationalen Ruhm verschaffte. Trotz seines beruflichen Erfolgs war Barries Privatleben oft von Einsamkeit und Verlust überschattet. Er wurde jedoch für seine warmherzige Art und seinen unverwechselbaren Beitrag zur Kinderliteratur geschätzt. Diese Übersetzung wurde mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz erstellt. |

100. Den yttersta hemligheten - Dan Brown
|
|||
|
"Den yttersta hemligheten" är Dan Browns överraskande, djärva och oavbrutet underhållande återkomst efter världsfenomen som "Da Vinci-koden", "Änglar och demoner" och "Begynnelse". Den välrenommerade symbolikprofessorn Robert Langdon reser till Prag för att lyssna till en föreläsning av Katherine Solomon, en framstående forskare i noetisk vetenskap som Langdon nyligen inlett ett förhållande med. Katherine är på väg att ge ut en banbrytande bok om det mänskliga medvetandet, som hotar att vända upp och ned på århundraden av etablerad kunskap. Men ett brutalt mord får resan att ta en kaotisk vändning, och plötsligt är både Katherine och manuskriptet försvunna. Langdon inser att han blivit måltavla för en mäktig organisation som verkar i det fördolda, och han jagas samtidigt av en kallsinnig förövare som tycks sprungen ur Prags uråldriga mytologi. Medan spelplanen expanderar till London och New York söker Langdon desperat efter Katherine – och efter svar. Det blir en gastkramande kapplöpning genom den futuristiska vetenskapens och den mystiska folktrons olika världar, en jakt som leder Langdon till en chockerande upptäckt om ett topphemligt projekt som för alltid ska förändra hur vi ser på det mänskliga medvetandet. |
