4. 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.'

5. 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. |

10. 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. |
11. Offside - Avery Keelan

From TikTok sensation Avery Keelan comes Offside , an addictive college hockey romance where Hannah Grace meets Elle Kennedy. After being dumped on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex’s biggest competition... Chase Carter: antagonizer, womanizer, and infamous left winger for her college’s rival team. Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team’s #1 competition, but a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up... until she throws up on his shoes. Caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena, Chase and Bailey are on opposite sides of the bench. He’s worked his entire life to secure a future in the NHL. She’s tagged along while her brother has done the same. Fraternizing with the enemy is definitely out of the question, but what if the enemy is impossible to resist?

12. 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.

André är ämnad för stora saker inom juridiken, om detta är alla överens. Men han är också dödligt förälskad i berusningen och skjuter karriären i sank när han redlös på disputationsfesten lyckas förolämpa hela kollegiet. I stället får André ett uppdrag som utredare på en grå myndighet, utan att ana att han samtidigt odlas som informatör för en hemlig organisation skapad av socialdemokratin för att spionera på vänsterelement. "En dag av törst" är en drabbande roman om alkoholism, begär och idealism, om ett politiskt och personligt svek. Men också en fiktionaliserad skildring av den skandal som briserar 1973 under beteckningen IB-affären. |
19. This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me - Ilona Andrews
|
|||
|
A page-turning, unforgettable fantasy set in a city peopled with ruffians, spies, malcontents and murderers. 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. Her only tools for navigating this gritty world of rival warlords, magic and mayhem? Her encyclopaedic knowledge of the plot, the setting and the characters’ ambitions and fates. 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.

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. |

Marianne Jidhoff, 55, är nybliven änka. Hennes make Hans Larson, riksåklagare, var vid sin död en hyllad man, en rättvisans trogna tjänare. Men han var inte lika trogen sin hustru som han var trogen rättvisan. Marianne fanns trots detta vid hans sida in i det sista. Precis som hon alltid gjort. Själv utbildad åklagare, födde hon i stället tre barn och blev en god representativ hustru. Först när barnen blivit betydligt äldre tog hon en tjänst som åklagarsekreterare. Efter Hans död blir Marianne övertalad att återvända till åklagarmyndigheten. Man har problem med läckor, och Olle Lundqvist, chefsåklagare, behöver någon med stor erfarenhet, någon han kan lita på. Marianne beslutar sig efter ett par sömnlösa nätter för att återigen börja arbeta. En finansman, Christopher Turin, blir mördad utanför sin våning på Narvavägen i Stockholm. Marianne Jidhoff får tillsammans med den luttrade och erfarna kriminalkommissarien Torsten Ehn ta sig an fallet. Med sig har de också kriminalassistenten Augustin Madrid, en vacker och begåvad yngling som visar sig ha mycket mer att tillföra utredningen än man i förstone kan tro. En fascinerande trio som vi kommer att få möta också i kommande böcker. Brottet visar sig ha kopplingar till en märklig och sluten verksamhet som drivs i det tysta. En verksamhet dit bara de som är beredda att betala dyrt för sig har tillträde och får leva ut sina allra hemligaste fantasier. Detta är upptakten till den första i en svit kriminalromaner med överklasskvinnan Marianne Jidhoff och människorna omkring henne i centrum. Denise Rudberg är ganska ensam på plan när det gäller att skildra livet och flärden i den här världen. Det är stilfullt, elegant och spännande. |

The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham, taught and inspired people worldwide.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles. |

A glorious empire. A desperate quest. An ancient secret. The search for allies extends to a new land in the sixth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea's last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold.

Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need, and she will honour it. But Lord Westfall carries his own dark past, and Yrene soon realises that those shadows could engulf them both.

31. Bridgerton - Julia Quinn
|
|||
|
A #1 New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency romance novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, the brooding Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty in this tale of emotional scars and redemption: love ignores every rule... This novel includes the second epilogue, a peek at the story after the story. |

33. Stoner - John Williams & John McGahern
|

|
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. |
34. Anspråkstagen - David Thurfjell
|

|
Idag ser vi hur känslan av meningslöshet ökar i vår del av världen, speciellt bland unga. Detta trots att vårt materiella välstånd vuxit. Varför är det så? Vad kan vi göra för att finna mening i tillvaron, och hur hjälper vi dem som inte gör det? I Anspråkstagen vänder sig David Thurfjell till religionshistorien för att få svar. Oavsett om det finns någon högre mening med existensen eller inte har vi människor en förmåga att uppleva livet som om det gjorde det, konstaterar han. Även under de mest förtvivlade omständigheter har vi genom historien alltid skapat sammanhang som odlat den förmågan. Frågan är om vi idag, utan att backa bandet, kan ta hjälp av denna uråldriga erfarenhet för att hitta en väg framåt. Det blir en resa på jakt efter mening längs vindlande vägar i den mänskliga erfarenhetens utkanter. För känslan av mening är inget som lätt låter sig kontrolleras. Det är en känsla som måste lockas fram indirekt, och sökas längs de subtila rottrådar av tillhörighet som förbinder människan med hennes omvärld. |

Herrens år 1401 utspelar sig mellan Nikolaiafton och Luciaafton i december 1401. Det har sedan en längre tid varit lugnt på Gotland, så lugnt att Tyska orden flyttat över många knektar till Preussen, där det har utbrutit krig mot litauerna. Thierry av Liège har fått mer att göra och i praktiken stigit i graderna till att bli fogdens närmaste man, detta samtidigt som en romans håller på att spira mellan honom och den ogifta borgerskan Elisabet Botolfsdotter. Och nu vankas det jul, med värmande glödgat vin och ljuvligt kryddade kakor. Men säg det lugn som varar för evigt. På morgonen den 6 december hittas en man död uppenbarligen nedfallen eller nedstörtad från ett fönster mitt på Strandgatan i Visby. När packhuset bredvid undersöks visar det sig att tio borgare fått halsarna avskurna under en gillesfestlighet på bottenvåningen. På en ovanvåning ligger en skräckslagen, nedblodad och bunden nunna, och när ordensmännen undersöker källaren finner de ännu ett färskt lik. Dessvärre är detta bara början. När Thierry, Elisabet och medhjälparen Folkwin börjar fråga och förhöra sig fram genom staden och Solberga nunnekloster kommer många motsättningar och mycken ilska i dagen. Det saknas inte folk som haft skäl att döda. Bakom tragedin i packhusen döljer sig andra illdåd, både på Gotland och i Tyskland och så länge mördaren går fri riskerar nya dödsoffer att skördas. |

Consider Phlebas is a space opera of stunning power and awesome imagination, from a modern master of science fiction. The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, to actually find it - and with it their own destruction.

56. Det omätbaras renässans - Jonna Bornemark
|
|||
|
Filosofen Jonna Bornemark fortsätter och fördjupar efter sitt populära Sommarprogram: En kritik av mätbarhetens tidsålder. Vi lever i en mätbarhetens tidsålder och vi löser våra problem genom att spalta upp, mäta och kvantifiera. Våra mantran ekar i styrdokument och på kvalitetskonferenser: effektivitet, kvalitetssäkring, evidensbasering. Samtidigt ramas våra liv in av rankinglistor, betyg, kvalitetsindex, pulsmätare och stegräknare. Tilltron sätts därmed till yttre parametrar som vi tänker oss objektivt pekar ut den rätta vägen framåt. Vi flyr undan det subjektiva, det känslomässiga, det tillfälliga och den blotta tron och räknar istället: siffror, diagram och staplar verkar så mycket pålitligare. Ett resultat är att utrymmet för den praktiska kunskapen, för omdöme och situationskunskap blivit allt mindre. Som lärare har Jonna Bornemark märkt hur användbar filosofin, idéhistorien och etnologin är för att ge perspektiv på vår egen tid. Så föddes idén att skriva en bok som tog hjälp av filosofin för att få syn på några av vårt samhälles centrala karaktärsdrag. Med hjälp av filosoferna Cusanus, Bruno och Descartes tar hon ett grepp om vår bitvis alltför välordnade samtid och ger nya perspektiv på såväl arbetsliv som privatliv. |

A merry Christmas for the Petterils ? Piers wants to make their first Christmas together special, and so it proves to be - just not quite in the way he planned. His eccentric Great Aunt Prudence summons him to London with the news that she is dying and that one of her servants is stealing from her. Only one of these claims turns out to be true, though both require investigating. Inevitably, Lord and Lady Petteril's presence in Town does not remain a secret for long, and April faces the humiliating discourtesy of those who despise her. Worse, a figure from her past rears his ugly head and brings back memories she would rather keep buried. When he is murdered, the past has to be faced before the future – and Great Aunt Prudence's notorious Christmas pudding – can be enjoyed. |

Hon har en dröm. Han har en plan. Ren har aldrig hållit i en iPhone, googlat svaret på en fråga eller stalkat en förälskelse på sociala medier. Vad hon har gjort: läst en bok eller två (okej, hundratals), lärt sig att måla och byggt ett fungerande vindkraftssystem från grunden. Men trots alla böcker hon läst har hon aldrig lärt sig hur man lever i den verkliga världen. Så när hon uppnår sin livslånga dröm om att gå på Corona College känns det som att hennes liv äntligen kan börja. Fitz har hela sin framtid utstakad: ta examen från Corona College med toppbetyg, få sitt brottsregister rensat och upprätthålla fasaden som den sorglösa rikemanssonen. Men när Ren kliver in i hans liv, med sitt långa gyllene hår och encyklopediska hjärna som hotas alla hans planer. När en enkel skoluppgift leder till en roadtrip tar deras liv en ny riktning, och det osannolika paret inser att nyckeln till deras drömmar kanske finns närmare än de tror. "Intrasslad i dig" är en romantisk modern tolkning av storfilmen "Trassel", skriven av den New York Times bästsäljande författarduon Christina Lauren. |

‘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 |

At first, it's just a chaste kiss - a single bead's worth - and a promise for more. For the Bargainer, it's more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that's been awoken. If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he'll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one. |

The Sunday Times bestseller! FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD In the start of an all-new trilogy, the bestselling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver introduces you to a dangerous school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death - until one girl begins to rewrite its rules. ____________ Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered.

El Higgins is uniquely prepared for the school's many dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions - never mind easily destroy the countless monsters that prowl the school. Except, she might accidentally kill all the other students, too. So El is trying her hardest not to use it . . . that is, unless she has no other choice. With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a heroine for the ages - a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come. ____________ 'Hilarious and wild!

Filled with passion, regret and longing, this story of a fated love triangle has become a landmark of gay writing. James Baldwin caused outrage as a black author writing about white homosexuals, yet for him the issues of race, sexuality and personal freedom were eternally intertwined.

93. Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver
|
|||
|
"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.

99. Fantasin till makten! - Ronny Ambjörnsson
|
|||
|
I alla tider har människan haft drömmar om en bättre värld, även om den drömmen har förändrats genom åren. I Fantasin till makten! redogör Ronny Ambjörnsson kunnigt och ingående för några utopier, allt från hoppet om ett paradis eller himmelrike efter döden, till sökandet efter en ursprunglig, oförstörd kontinent, till kampen för ett rättvist samhälle, utan svält och sjukdomar. Men framför allt berättar han om människorna bakom dem. Han ger oss historien om kvinnan som skrev en roman om Jungfrulandet, ett land där endast kvinnor lever, och alkemisten som drömde om att lära sig tillverka guld så att guldet skulle bli värdelöst och det kapitalistiska samhället störta samman. Ambjörnsson berättar också om det svenska försöket att skapa ett utopistiskt samhälle i Sierra Leone, och naturligtvis om den utopi som fått ge namn åt hela företeelsen – Thomas Mores Utopia. Resultatet är en svindlande resa genom tid och rum, där drömmar och drömmare avlöser varandra, och som dessutom illustreras med bilder ur originalverken. En bok för historieintresserade, samhällsförbättrare och nutida utopister. |
100. The Commodore - Patrick O'Brian
|
|||
|
To whom does one’s true allegiance lie? Jack Aubrey’s long service has at last been rewarded with promotion to the rank of commodore, and a squadron of ships to command. His new commission is twofold – first, inhibit the slave trade off the coast of West Africa, and then, on his return, intercept a French fleet loaded with weapons intended for the disaffected Irish. But will the conflict of loyalties be insurmountable for his friend, and Irishman, Stephen Maturin? ‘His novels are . . . as delicately perceptive about the human condition as the Jane Austen novels that O’Brian himself so much admired.’ CHRISTINA HARDYMENT, Independent ‘One of the most brilliantly sustained pieces of historical fictional writing this century.’ JAMES TEACHER, Spectator Reviews ‘If O’Brian’s novels have become a cult, this is because they are truly addictive. . . They are, quite magnificently, adventure yarns whose superb authenticity never distracts from the sheer thrill of the action.’ Caroline Moore, Sunday Telegraph ‘The Aubrey–Maturin novels, by Patrick O’Brian, are so addictive that after I finish one I have to hide the next from myself for a little while in order to do anything else but read.’ Louise Erdrich ‘In Aubrey and Maturin, Patrick O’Brian has created two of the most enjoyable characters in twentieth-century fiction. Their relationship sustains an absorbing and thrilling sequence of naval stories, unrivalled in their complexity, full of impeccable detail and psychological insight. O’Brian switches from the intimate to the epic with equal assurance. One of the greatest authors to sail with.’ Michael Palin ‘My hero is Patrick O’Brian. It’s basically impossible to write that well.’ David Mamet ‘One of the most compelling and brilliant novelists of his time . . . Beyond his superbly elegant writing, wit and originality, Patrick O’Brian showed an understanding of the nature of a floating world at the mercy of the wind and the sea which has never been surpassed.’ Max Hastings, Evening Standard ‘I devoured Patrick O’Brian’s twenty-volume masterpiece as if it had been so many tots of Jamaica grog.’ Christopher Hitchens ‘Written with most engaging enthusiasm that can’t fail to give pleasure to anybody who enjoys historical adventure flavoured with more than a dash of realism.’ The Sunday Times ‘Patrick O’Brian brings depth to his sea-stories with outstanding dialogue, characterisation, humour and a golden thread of romance. You don’t have to love books about naval battles to become entranced.’ Katie Fforde About the author Patrick O’Brian was born in 1914 and published his first book, Caesar, when he was only fifteen. In the 1960s he began work on the idea that, over the next four decades, evolved into the twenty-novel long Aubrey–Maturin series (with an extra unfinished volume published posthumously). In 1995 he was awarded the CBE, and in 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He died in January 2000 at the age of 85. |
