|
|||
|
Lupaus ja lunastus Anna ei voinut uskoa todeksi, kun vastustamattoman seksikäs Sebastian Rentoul kosi häntä. Seb sai hänet tuntemaan itsensä upeaksi ja halutuksi huippumalliksi. Kunnes Anna saa huomata, ettei rouva Rentoulina oleminen tarkoittanutkaan, että hänellä olisi miehensä rakkaus… Nyt Anna on hakenut avioeroa ja jatkaa elämäänsä. Mutta Sebia kiehtoo enemmän kuin koskaan hänen haluton morsiamensa ja hän varmistaa, että Anna ymmärtää täysin, kuinka paljosta nautinnosta tämä jää paitsi… Tiikerisoturi Liikenainen Madeline Delacourtella ei ole aikaa tarvita miestä elämäänsä, jättihän hänen edesmennyt miehensä hänelle riittävästi vaurautta itsenäiseen elämään. Luke Bennett on vain viikon vierailulla Singaporessa, ja Madeline tietää leikkivänsä tulella. Tarjoamalla sydäntään miehelle, joka pelastaa maailmaa oman henkensä uhalla, hän antautuu vaaroista suurimpaan… Lydia Youngin lomaunelma Lydia Young on saanut elämänsä keikan! Marketin kassa vaihtuu suihkukoneeseen ja unelmalomaan aavikkovaltakunnan hiekkarannoilla mediajulkkis Annien kaksoisolentona. Lydian tarvitsee vain nauttia viikosta hemmottelua luksuskohteessa. Julkisivua ei saa särkeä - esimerkiksi rakastumalla matkan isäntään, vaarallisen ylivoimaiseen šeikki Kalil al-Zakiin. Hmm, jutusta voi tulla mutkikkaampi kuin hän osasi odottaa! |

We need to take action before it’s too late, and we can all do our bit to help. This guide is full of simple tips we can all incorporate into our daily lives, and will demonstrate how small eco-friendly changes can have a huge positive effect on the world around us.

12. New Zealand Travel Guide
|
|||
|
New Zealand revels in its role as nature's amphitheater, the country redefining notions of the sub-lime and the surreal. Every turn seems to unveil a new panorama, a new aesthetic seemingly lost in time. New Zealand is unspoiled and untamed. Its status as home of fictionalized Middle Earth is well publicized, but there's far more to the landscape than hobbit holes and orcas hiding in trees. There is bounty to be discovered everywhere and almost every visitor is won over with fresh impressions of natural splendor. With more sheep than people and more solitude than city, New Zealand is a place for getting lost in the midst of the planet's most spectacular landscapes. New Zealand essentially consists of a series of islands in the Pacific, each distinct and celebrating its difference. Two large islands dominate this definition. The volcanic North Island, full of rolling green pastures and kaleidoscopic color. And the mountainous South Island, home to glaciers, fjords, and dramatic geological features. While the land provides an omnipresent highlight, there's more to New Zealand than a journey through lakes, mountains, ocean, and forests dancing with phantasmal intrigue. The country runs on an indelibly laid-back rhythm, one that negates the use of a watch and helps you easily slip into the natural spell. You could travel a hundred miles without seeing another per-son and most settlements still retain the unpopulated charm of yesteryear. Such rurality inevitably supports a famed local friendliness. Everyone has time to say hello and greet a stranger and rushing around is a serious no. Stress, it seems, disappears the moment you land in the country. Even a journey that traverses the whole of New Zealand will be defined by serenity. This guidebook has a very New Zealand approach at heart. It likes to keep things simple and tranquil, preferring not to dampen the journey with layer after layer of purposeless information. This is a country that must be discovered. We would prefer to leave enough for you to discover when you arrive. At the same time, the helping hand of a local guide is essential for navigating the best the country has to offer. So think of this guidebook as the friendly locals you meet in New Zealand, full of tips and ideas but always leaving the final decision to you. In this guidebook we detail all the iconic and unmissable experience, as well as all the hidden and off the beaten track ideas that should be considered. This complete planning guide presents destinations from a visitor's perspective. Rather than use local administrative regions, the guidebook is split into key routes and regions that are easy to explore from a single base. Using this approach enables a clear overview of what's possible when you visit New Zealand, and which destinations are effortlessly combined in an itinerary. What this guidebook doesn't do, is fill two pages with hotels and restaurants with less than complimentary descriptions. If it's good and worth experiencing then it's in this guidebook. If it's not then it didn't make the cut. There's more than enough enchantment and quality to find in New Zealand, why dilute it with the mundane? So jump forward and jump in to a country that captures the imagination and stirs the intrepidness in every soul. Welcome to New Zealand and welcome to a country that always leaves a lasting impression. |

After Cal escapes a deranged kidnapper who tortured him, he doesn’t even have the clothes on his back. Desperate and afraid, he breaks into a convenience store. But Jake, a clerk at the store, confronts what to him is little more than a petty thief. After a violent tussle, he knocks Cal out. Jake encourages his Uncle Gary, the owner of the store, to report Cal to the police, but Gary can’t bring himself to report a kid who was just looking to steal food. When Cal wakes, Gary asks him if he’s okay. But Cal’s trauma has left him mute. Instead, he has to write his experiences down, relaying the horrifying events that led him to the store. The police track down the sick man who held Cal captive, and when he confronts them with a gun, he’s shot dead. However, Cal discovers that even with his captor gone, he is far from free of the nightmare he endured. Gary and his wife welcome Cal into their home, determined to help him heal. Jake doesn’t trust Cal, and he isn’t afraid to say so. But buried beneath Jake’s disapproval might be the person who can help Cal recover from the terrifying experience that continues to haunt him. |

Jan-Philipp Sendkers genombrottsroman Konsten att höra hjärtslag har förtrollat en hel värld. Den har talat till människors hjärtan och bara i Sverige har den sålt i 250 000 exemplar. Nu kommer den efterlängtade uppföljaren till romanen som blev årets mest sålda pocketbok 2015! Det har gått nästan tio år sedan Julia Win kom tillbaka från sin resa till Burma, landet där hennes far föddes och där hon fann en bror. Hon är framgångsrik advokat på Manhattan, men känner sig vilsen och utbränd. När hon inne i sitt huvud börjar höra en enträgen röst som ställer de frågor hon alltid försökt undvika – Varför lever du ensam? Vad söker du i livet? – känns sammanbrottet nära. I ett försök att hitta tillbaka till sig själv och meningen med livet återvänder hon till Burma. Där får hon höra historien om en kvinna som heter Nu Nu, en historia som är full av passion och tragik och som kommer att vända upp och ner på Julias liv. Precis som Konsten att höra hjärtslag är det här en känsloladdad roman som utforskar människans innersta. En inspirerande och oförglömlig berättelse om kärlek, sorg, identitet och livets mening.

|

|
Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2017 Nobody can leave an island. An island is a cosmos in a nutshell, where the stars slumber in the grass beneath the snow. But occasionally someone tries . . . Ingrid Barrøy is born on an island that bears her name - a holdfast for a single family, their livestock, their crops, their hopes and dreams. Her father dreams of building a quay that will connect them to the mainland, but closer ties to the wider world come at a price. Her mother has her own dreams - more children, a smaller island, a different life - and there is one question Ingrid must never ask her. Island life is hard, a living scratched from the dirt or trawled from the sea, so when Ingrid comes of age, she is sent to the mainland to work for one of the wealthy families on the coast. But Norway too is waking up to a wider world, a modern world that is capricious and can be cruel. Tragedy strikes, and Ingrid must fight to protect the home she thought she had left behind. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw |

20. Shattered Trident
|
|||
|
Jerry Mitchell, the new captain of the equally new USS North Dakota (SSN-784), witnesses the start of a war that nobody in the U.S. knew anything   about.  While trailing a Chinese nuclear attack sub, North Dakota watches as the Chinese boat torpedoes a Vietnamese merchant ship, which explodes violently immediately after being hit. Stunned by this blatant act of war, Mitchell and his crew are also perplexed by the Vietnamese merchant that wasn’t where it was supposed to be, and was obviously not carrying its declared cargo of coal. These two mysteries are the opening parts of a war that blindsided the U.S. - one that had started with Vietnam and China, but quickly expanded to include almost all the nations in the western Pacific. Bound together in the new “Littoral Alliance,” they begin a covert submarine campaign determined to cripple China’s economy before China can launch its own secret plan to seize not just the South China Sea, but also eventually the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.  Pulled back to Guam, Jerry Mitchell and the rest of Submarine Squadron Fifteen are ordered into the fray, to find out what is happening and why. The opening stages of the campaign take China by complete surprise, and in just a few days, the combined submarine forces of the Littoral Alliance sink dozens of Chinese tankers. Refineries are destroyed by cruise missile strikes, and finally a blockade is imposed, all while the U.S. is struggling to unravel the war’s underlying causes and goals. Both China and the Littoral Alliance are determined to win, no matter what the cost, and as each side increases the level of violence, they approach a dangerous tipping point, one that nobody wants to see reached. In a final gambit, the president adopts a radical suggestion proposed by Mitchell, but many doubt even that will be enough to stop the fighting, and it comes with its own risks. In a race against time, the submarines of Squadron Fifteen return to war zone to execute their mission before the world sees either an economic catastrophe, or worse, a nuclear exchange.

|

|
Come ha fatto un generale americano in Iraq a sedare dei tumulti di piazza con l’aiuto del fast food? Come è riuscito Michael Phelps a ottenere i suoi record mondiali di nuoto con gli occhialini pieni d’acqua? Come è possibile che i pubblicitari riescano a identificare e catalogare le donne incinte prima ancora che lo vengano a sapere i loro mariti? La risposta è una sola: attraverso le abitudini. E benché, singolarmente prese, non abbiano grande significato, nel loro complesso le abitudini influenzano enormemente la nostra salute, il nostro lavoro, la nostra situazione economica e la nostra felicità. Da secoli gli uomini studiano le abitudini, ma è solo negli ultimi anni che neurologi, psicologi, sociologi ed esperti di marketing hanno realmente incominciato a capire in che modo funzionano e, soprattutto, come possono cambiare. Le abitudini, infatti, non sono un destino ineluttabile: leggendo questo libro impareremo a trasformarle per migliorare la nostra professione, la collettività in cui viviamo, la nostra vita. |

38. Selected Writings
|
|||
|
Composed during a critical time in the evolution of European intellectual life, the works of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327) are some of the most powerful medieval attempts to achieve a synthesis between ancient Greek thought and the Christian faith. Writing with great rhetorical brilliance, Eckhart combines the neoplatonic concept of oneness - the idea that the ultimate principle of the universe is single and undivided - with his Christian belief in the Trinity, and considers the struggle to describe a perfect God through the imperfect medium of language. Fusing philosophy and religion with vivid originality and metaphysical passion, these works have intrigued and inspired philosophers and theologians from Hegel to Heidegger and beyond. |

49. The Lies of Locke Lamora
|
|||
|
“Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.”— The Times (London)   An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.   Praise for The Lies of Locke Lamora   “Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized.” —George R. R. Martin   “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.” —Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind “A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike.” — The Seattle Times   “A true genre bender, at home on almost any kind of fiction shelf . . . Lynch immediately establishes himself as a gifted and fearless storyteller, unafraid of comparisons to Silverberg and Jordan, not to mention David Liss and even Dickens.” — Booklist (starred review)   “High-octane fantasy . . . a great swashbuckling yarn of a novel.” —Richard Morgan |

53. Billion Dollar Whale
|

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune , this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, BILLION DOLLAR WHALE is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" ( Publishers Weekly , starred review), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street . By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation. BILLION DOLLAR WHALE has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker , Den of Thieves , and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world. |
54. Man's Search for Meaning
|
|||
|
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997,  Man's Search for Meaning  had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found  Man's Search for Meaning  among the ten most influential books in America. |

Mikael Gabriel on toisaalta maailman sympaattisin ihminen toisaalta kipakka tuittupää. Hän on musiikillaan menestynyt tähti, jonka teini-ikä oli kaikkea muuta kuin ruusuinen. Miten menestys on muuttanut häntä ihmisenä? Näkyykö rujo tausta seestyneen elämän takana? Ollessaan 14-vuotias Mikael Gabriel passitettiin kasvatuskotiin Hyrynsalmelle. Takana oli pitkään jatkunut kipuilu ja kapinointi, joka ilmeni pienempien kolttosten lisäksi myös päihteidenkäyttönä ja autovarkauksina. Isä istui vankilassa, eikä äiti kovista otteistaan huolimatta saanut poikaansa kuriin. Aika lastenkodissa oli vaikeaa ja jatkui yli neljä vuotta, mutta lopulta Helsinkiin palasi muuttunut nuorukainen. Mikael Gabriel oli alkanut kirjoittaa tuskaansa biiseiksi ja haaveili räppärin urasta. Loppu on suomalaista musiikkihistoriaa. Lukuisten listahittien, loppuunmyytyjen keikkojen, Vain elämää -menestyksen, leffaroolien, oman levy-yhtiön perustamisen ja X-Factor-tuomaroinnin jälkeen on aika kertoa Mikael Gabrielin koko tarina. Anton Vanha-Majamaan ja Laura Frimanin kirjoittama Mikael Gabriel - Alasti on sukellus ainutlaatuisen suomalaisen artistin elämään ja sisimpään. ”Kirja tulee järkyttämään ihmisiä, mutta toivottavasti myös avaamaan persoonaani enemmän sellaisille, jotka eivät ole minuun vielä tutustuneet.” Mikael Gabriel Anton Vanha-Majamaa (s. 1988) on toimittaja ja tietokirjailija. Hän oli toisena kirjoittajana Antti Tuiskun elämäkerrassa Antti Tapani. Vanha–Majamaa on kirjoittanut lehtijuttuja muun muassa Helsingin Sanomiin, Imageen, Rumbaan ja Ylioppilaslehteen. Mikael Gabriel – Alasti on hänen kolmas kirjansa. Laura Friman (s. 1980) on toimittaja, tietokirjailija, radiojuontaja ja televisiopersoona. Hän on kirjoittanut useita kirjoja, kolumneja muun muassa Helsingin Sanomiin ja Imageen ja juttuja lukuisiin aikakauslehtiin.

62. The Courage to Act: A Memoir of a Crisis and Its Aftermath
|
|||
|
A New York Times Bestseller “A fascinating account of the effort to save the world from another [Great Depression]. . . . Humanity should be grateful.”—Financial Times In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, the unexpected apex of a personal journey from small-town South Carolina to prestigious academic appointments and finally public service in Washington’s halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate. The bursting of a housing bubble in 2007 exposed the hidden vulnerabilities of the global financial system, bringing it to the brink of meltdown. From the implosion of the investment bank Bear Stearns to the unprecedented bailout of insurance giant AIG, efforts to arrest the financial contagion consumed Bernanke and his team at the Fed. Around the clock, they fought the crisis with every tool at their disposal to keep the United States and world economies afloat. Working with two U.S. presidents, and under fire from a fractious Congress and a public incensed by behavior on Wall Street, the Fed—alongside colleagues in the Treasury Department—successfully stabilized a teetering financial system. With creativity and decisiveness, they prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale and went on to craft the unorthodox programs that would help revive the U.S. economy and become the model for other countries. Rich with detail of the decision-making process in Washington and indelible portraits of the major players, The Courage to Act recounts and explains the worst financial crisis and economic slump in America since the Great Depression, providing an insider’s account of the policy response. |

The New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series by the “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke returns with this gripping mystery following television producer’s Laurie Moran investigation of the unsolved Met Gala murder—in which a wealthy widow was pushed to her death from the famous museum’s rooftop. Laurie Moran’s professional life is a success—her television show Under Suspicion is a hit, both in the ratings and its record of solving cold cases. But her romantic break from former host Alex Buckley has left her with on-air talent she can’t stand—Ryan Nichols—and a crippling sense of loneliness. Now Ryan has suggested a new case. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and one of the museum’s most generous donors, was found dead in the snow, after being thrown from the museum’s roof on the night of the Met Gala. The leading suspect then and now is her much younger boyfriend and personal trainer, Ivan Gray. Ivan runs a trendy, successful boutique gym called Punch—a business funded in no small part by the late Virginia—which happens to be the gym Ryan frequents. Laurie’s skepticism about the case is upended by a tip from her father’s NYPD connection, and soon Laurie realizes there are a bevy of suspects—including Virginia’s trusted inner circle. As the Under Suspicion crew pries into the lives of a super wealthy real estate family with secrets to hide, danger mounts for several witnesses—and for Laurie. |

After spending the early years of his life without his dad, hockey legend Lucas Brooks, Aiden is determined not to settle for anything less than true love. When he’s ready. Now he’s living the fast life of an NHL bachelor. He won’t give his heart to any one girl, but they can have his body—all night long. The party to celebrate the start of the second half of the season was supposed to be no different from any other night.

All of his professional dreams are coming true, but he can’t shake the memory of the girl from that last party. He wants to see her again. Though, after moving across the country—and without knowing her name—that dream seems like a puck destined to miss the net. For Shelli, her night with Aiden was everything she’d ever imagined it could be, and she’s sure it is all about to change for them. But for that to happen…he would have to know who she was. The Dump was only the beginning. The Chase is worth waiting a lifetime for. |
67. The Myth of Sisyphus
|
|||
|
In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: Is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide? As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague . Albert Camus is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include The Fall , The Outsider and The First Man . He is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international. Translated by Justin O'Brien With an Introduction by James Wood |

69. Scar Tissue
|
|||
|
In SCAR TISSUE Anthony Kiedis, charismatic and highly articulate frontman of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recounts his remarkable life story, and the history of the band itself. Raised in the Midwest, he moved to LA aged eleven to live with his father Blackie, purveyor of pills, pot, and cocaine to the Hollywood elite. After a brief child-acting career, Kiedis dropped out of U.C.L.A. and plunged headfirst into the demimonde of the L.A. underground music scene. He formed the band with three schoolfriends - and found his life's purpose. Crisscrossing the country, the Chili Peppers were musical innovators and influenced a whole generation of musicians. But there's a price to pay for both success and excess and in SCAR TISSUE, Kiedis writes candidly of the overdose death of his soul mate and band mate, Hillel Slovak, and his own ongoing struggle with an addiction to drugs. SCAR TISSUE far transcends the typical rock biography, because Anthony Kiedis is anything but a typical rock star. It is instead a compelling story of dedication and debauchery, of intrigue and integrity, of recklessness and redemption. |

75. Siege
|
|||
|
Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell bestseller Fire and Fury , once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege. Just one year into Donald Trump’s term as president, Michael Wolff told the electrifying story of a White House consumed by controversy, chaos, and intense rivalries. Fire and Fury , an instant sensation, defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege , Wolff has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. At the outset of Trump’s second year as president, his situation is profoundly different. No longer tempered by experienced advisers, he is more impulsive and volatile than ever. But the wheels of justice are inexorably turning: Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” haunts Trump every day, and other federal prosecutors are taking a deep dive into his business affairs. Many in the political establishment—even some members of his own administration—have turned on him and are dedicated to bringing him down. The Democrats see victory at the polls, and perhaps impeachment, in front of them. Trump, meanwhile, is certain he is invincible, making him all the more exposed and vulnerable. Week by week, as Trump becomes increasingly erratic, the question that lies at the heart of his tenure becomes ever more urgent: Will this most abnormal of presidencies at last reach the breaking point and implode? Both a riveting narrative and a brilliant front-lines report, Siege provides an alarming and indelible portrait of a president like no other. Surrounded by enemies and blind to his peril, Trump is a raging, self-destructive inferno—and the most divisive leader in American history. |

Thereupon the rising storm-wind Flying from the East in fierceness, Whips the ocean into surges, Strikes the stars with sprays of ocean Till the waves are white with fervor. |

Osasto 73 on toinen, itsenäinen romaani suositussa Emma Sköld -sarjassa. Rikostarkastaja Emma Sköld on viettänyt viisi viimeistä kuukautta koomassa sairaalassa. Kun hän vihdoin herää, hänen viimeisin muistikuvansa on se, kuinka hän jätti neliviikkoisen tyttärensä hoitoon ja lähti tallille ratsastamaan. Emman sairaalassaolon aikana hänen kumppaninsa entinen tyttöystävä on pitänyt vauvasta huolta ja näyttää viihtyvän vähän liiankin hyvin roolissaan. Emma yrittää kuumeisesti muistaa yksityiskohtia ratsastusonnettomuudesta ja vakuuttuu siitä, että tapaukseen liittyy jotain hämärää. Niin kauan kuin Emma makaa teho-osastolla, hän on turvassa, mutta kun hänet sijoitetaan osastolle numero 73, kuka tahansa pääsee hänen lähelleen. Mutta miksi kukaan haluaisi hänelle mitään pahaa?

Vuoden odotetuin bisneskirja! Risto Siilasmaa kertoo Nokian vaikeista vuosista ja paljastaa keinot, joilla Suomen tärkein yritys nostettiin uuteen kukoistukseen. Paranoidi optimisti on vangitsevasti kerrottu tarina ja kurkistus teknologiamaailman sisäpiireihin. Kirjassa Nokian hallituksen puheenjohtaja ja F-Securen perustaja Risto Siilasmaa peilaa Nokian kehitystä alkaen vuodesta 2008, jolloin hän liittyi yhtiön hallitukseen, sekä avaa näkemyksiään johtamisesta ja teknologiabisneksestä. Siilasmaa on kirjoittanut kirjan muun muassa Intelin ja Dellin toimitusjohtajien teoksissa kirjoittajana mukana olleen Catherine Fredmanin kanssa. Siilasmaa kertoo, miten Nokia kävi lähellä tuhoa mutta onnistui nousemaan takaisin huipulle. Tarina opettaa selviytymään kriisien ja murroksen kourissa, etsimään uusia vaihtoehtoja ja pysymään valppaana jatkuvan muutoksen keskellä. Punaisena lankana Nokian tarinan rinnalla kirjassa kulkee Siilasmaan johtamisen filosofia, paranoidi optimismi. "Ilman optimismia ei uskalla ryhtyä isoihin muutoksiin. Kun on samalla riittävän epäluuloinen, näkee myös kaikkein huonoimmat mahdolliset vaihtoehdot ja pystyy ehkäisemään ne ennakolta. Olemalla paranoidi on varaa olla myös optimisti", Siilasmaa kuvaa. Risto Siilasmaa (s. 1966) on toiminut Nokian hallituksen puheenjohtajana vuodesta 2012 alkaen. Yhtiön hallitukseen hänet valittiin vuonna 2008. Opiskeluaikanaan vuonna 1988 Siilasmaa perusti tietoturvayritys F-Securen ja toimi sen ensimmäisenä toimitusjohtajana. Hän on edelleen yhtiön hallituksen puheenjohtaja. |

In Rich Dad Poor Dad, the #1 Personal Finance book of all time, Robert Kiyosaki shares the story of his two dad: his real father, whom he calls his ‘poor dad,’ and the father of his best friend, the man who became his mentor and his ‘rich dad.’ One man was well educated and an employee all his life, the other’s education was “street smarts” over traditional classroom education and he took the path of entrepreneurship…a road that led him to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Robert’s poor dad struggled financially all his life, and these two dads—these very different points of view of money, investing, and employment—shaped Robert’s thinking about money. Robert has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people, around the world, think about money and investing and he has become a global advocate for financial education and the path to financial freedom.

'Hugely absorbing. . . the best Strike novel yet' SUNDAY MIRROR 'Highly inventive storytelling' GUARDIAN 'Outrageously entertaining' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Come for the twists and turns and stay for the beautifully drawn central relationship' INDEPENDENT 'Blistering piece of crime writing' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fans will love it' HEAT ----- When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott - once his assistant, now a partner in the agency - set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been - Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much more tricky than that . . .

88. Animal Farm
|
|||
|
Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un conte satirique contre Staline"), and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole". |

|

"Hauska, koskettava ja ennalta arvaamaton." - Jojo Moyes Saanko esitellä Eleanorin, vuoden epätodennäköisimmän sankarin? "Eleanorille kuuluu ihan hyvää" kertoo hykerryttävästi ja silti liikuttavasti yksinäisyydestä. Eleanor elää yksinään jämptisti organisoitua elämää. Joka päivä töissä hän käyttää samoja vaatteita ja nauttii samanlaisen lounaan. Hän ei oikein osaa olla ihmisten kanssa vaan sanoa paukauttaa äkkiväärästi mitä ajattelee. Kun työviikko on takana, Eleanor katoaa kotiinsa noutopizzan ja votkapullon kanssa eikä puhu kenellekään ennen maanantaita. Ainoat kontaktit joita Eleanor näyttää pitävän yllä, ovat viikoittaiset puhelut äidille ja sosiaalityöntekijän käynnit. Vaikka Eleanor on vasta nuori aikuinen, hän elää kuin kaikki olisi jo ohi. Miksi Eleanor on sellainen kuin on? Yksi ystävällinen teko työtoverilta alkaa murtaa muuria Eleanorin ympäriltä, ja lopulta Eleanor saa huomata lohdullisesti: koskaan ei ole liian myöhäistä. Mikään. "Tämä kaistapäinen, hurmaava romaani kietoo sinut pauloihinsa huumorillaan... Hulvaton ja koskettava." - People |

94. Ulkopuolinen
|

|
Pahuudella on monet kasvot. Ovatko yhdet niistä sinun? Kauhun kuningas huikeassa vedossa! Pikkukaupunki kokoaa rivinsä pahuutta vastaan - vaan tuleeko pahuus sittenkin sisältä päin? Ulkopuolinen on parasta Kingiä sitten Se-romaanin. "Mehevä kertomus, joka pelaa tämän ajan pahimmilla peloilla. Ulkopuolinen tuo mieleen Kingin varhaisen teoksen Se." Kirkus Reviews Sopuisan pikkukaupungin puistosta löydetään murhattuna 11-vuotias poika. Kaikki todisteet osoittavat samaan suuntaan: syyllinen on Terry Maitland, lempeä perheenisä sekä pidetty opettaja ja urheiluvalmentaja, jonka huomaan kaupunkilaiset ovat vuosien ajan uskoneet lapsensa. Tapaus on käsittämätön, syyllisestä sen sijaan ei ole epäilystäkään. Tutkinnan edetessä etsivä Ralph Anderson alkaa aavistaa, että jokin on pahasti pielessä. Rikoksen selvittelyyn osallistuu myös Holly Gibney. Totuus saattaa olla pelottavampi kuin kukaan olisi uskaltanut uneksiakaan. Peloissaan Flint Cityn asukkaat tiivistävät rivejään murhaajaa vastaan, mutta voiko tältä pahalta suojautua kukaan? Ulkopuolinen kaihertaa salakavalasti turvallisuudentunnettamme sukeltaessaan ihmisen hirviömäisiin puoliin. "Äärettömän kiinnostava... järkyttävän tummasävyinen kirja - täydellistä luettavaa Kingin faneille, joita on, no, ainakin tsiljoona." Booklist "Tee itsellesi palvelus ja lue tämä kirja." Associated Press Yhdysvaltalainen Stephen King (s. 1947), kauhun kuningas, on yksi maailman suosituimmista kirjailijoista ja armoitettu tarinankertoja. Luomisvoimainen King on viimeksi julkaissut palkitun Mersumies-trilogian sekä trillerin Ruususen uni poikansa Owen Kingin kanssa. King sai vuoden 2018 Pen America -järjestön palkinnon palavasta halustaan puolustaa sananvapautta ja ihmisyyttä. |
95. A Princess Next Door
|
|||
|
I was born the oldest princess of a tiny country in the Alps, which means my future has been planned out for me since I was an infant. I was supposed to marry a rich, arrogant stranger to help restore the royal bank accounts, but I decided to go to college in the States instead. It was the one act of rebellion in my very sheltered life. That's how I met Jack Watson. He lives next door, and he's the nicest, sexiest guy I've ever known. My time here is almost over, though. Soon I have to go back home and be the daughter my family and country expects. So there's no sense in letting Jack seduce me with his slow smile, his skillful hands, and his husky drawl. Even if I was allowed to have him for a boyfriend, Jack hates formal occasions, pretentious people, and being the center of attention. He'd never hook up with a princess. Which is why he can never know who I am. |

97. Macbeth
|
|||
|
Kovaksikeitetty romaani rikoksesta, vallanhimosta ja menneisyyden haamuista. Poliisipäällikkö Macbeth on kova mutta rikkinäinen mies, kaupungin paras poliisi ja korviaan myöten rakastunut häikäilemättömään Ladyyn. Kun huumeratsia muuttuu verilöylyksi, Macbeth tiimeineen saa puhdistaa sotkun. Poliisipäällikkö palkitaan menestyksestään. Valta, raha ja kunnioitus ovat hänen ulottuvillaan, samoin Ladyn jakamaton huomio. Mutta voiko Macbethin kaltainen mies koskaan päästä huipulle? Ei kestä kauaakaan, kun Lady saa Macbethin vakuuttumaan siitä, ettei tämä saa osuuttaan kaupungista - ellei ole valmis tappamaan osuutensa puolesta. 39 miljoonaa kirjaa maailmanlaajuisesti myynyt Jo Nesbø (s. 1960) on kirjoittanut yhden parhaimmista romaaneistaan. Siinä pimeys kietoo helmoihinsa kaiken, ja tekee mustuudesta rikkaan. Macbeth on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista ja suosituimmista tragedioista, josta on tehty lukemattomia versioita, oivallisena esimerkkinä vaikkapa Akira Kurosawan mestarillinen Seittien linna -elokuva. Jo Nesbøn Macbeth on toinen romaani 8-osaisessa Shakespeare-tulkintojen sarjassa, jonka aloitti keväällä Anne Tylerin Äkäpussi ( Kuinka äkäpussi kesytetään ). |
