Sirota z Varšavy

Sirota z Varšavy

Na jar tisícdeväťstoštyridsaťdva narastajú vo Varšave nepokoje a mladá Elžbieta Rabineková ich pozoruje z okna svojho útulného bytu. K Nemcom, ktorí hliadkujú v uliciach, neprechováva sympatie, ale snaží sa nemyslieť na to, čo sa deje za múrom susednej židovskej štvrte. O nemeckej brutalite vie svoje, veď sama musí tajiť svoju pravú totožnosť. Ale keď sa spriatelí s ošetrovateľkou Sárou, dozvie sa čosi, čo ju vtiahne do nebezpečného sveta klamstiev aj hrdinských činov. Sára pomáha s pašovaním detí z varšavského geta a Elžbieta, zoči-voči ťaživej realite vojny, viac nedokáže odvracať zrak a pridá sa na stranu odboja. Tu spoznáva židovského mladíka Romana Gorku, ktorého trpká nespravodlivosť dovedie až k vzbure. Oddá sa jej s horlivosťou, ktorú nedokáže potlačiť ani láska k Elžbiete. Jeho rebélia však nechcene upozorní na Sárinu činnosť a nevedomky ohrozí Elžbietu aj jej rodinu. Šanca získať slobodu je čoraz menšia...

Den tyska hustrun

Den tyska hustrun

Berlin, 1934. När nazisterna tar makten erbjuds Sofies man Jürgen en högt uppsatt position inom deras nya rymdprogram. Sofie och Jürgen motsätter sig Hitlers radikala åsikter men det står snart klart för dem att om Jürgen inte tar jobbet kommer deras inkomst att tas ifrån dem. Därefter deras barn. Därefter deras liv. Alabama, 1949. Rymdracet är i full gång och Jürgen är en av flera tyska vetenskapsmän som tas emot av Amerika för att arbeta med raketer. För Sofie är det här en chans att lämna skräcken och det förflutna bakom sig. Men när rykten om deras koppling till nazisterna börjar spridas förvandlas löst skvaller till hätsk vrede. Det dröjer inte länge innan allt spårar ur. Den tyska hustrun är en gripande roman som är inspirerad av den sanna historien om Operation Paperclip, NASA:s kontroversiella underrättelseprogram som anställde före detta nazister efter andra världskriget. KELLY RIMMER är en storsäljande författare från Australien. Hon har bland annat jämförts med Jojo Moyes, David Nicholls och Nicholas Sparks. Den tyska hustrun är Kelly Rimmers sjätte bok på LB Förlag. "Rimmer är en mästare på att finna okända delar av stora ämnen, såsom andra världskriget, och utforska dem i fascinerande romaner." Herald Sun "Fängslande." Sunday Telegraph

Kokeboksamleren

Kokeboksamleren

To søstre, forskjellige på alle måter. Den eldste fornuftig, ambisiøs: CEO i et revolusjonerende internettselskap, forlovet med en IT-gründer. Den yngste drømmende, idealistisk: filosofistudent med deltidsjobb i et antikvariat, kjæreste med en miljøverner. Goodmans uimotståelige roman Kokeboksamleren tar utgangspunkt i Jane Austens romanklassiker Sense and Sensibility – men forflytter historien om de to vidt forskjellige søstrene til et nervøst og oppspilt USA i årene rett før IT-boblen sprekker, før tårnene faller på Manhattan. Resultatet er både et skarpt og storslått tidsbilde og en skamløst romantisk (og klok) fortelling i Austens ånd.

The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Volume 3

The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Volume 3

This is a philosophy of one kind or another behind the work of every artist. Simple one, sufficient for his needs as understood them, though perhaps really consequent upon his artistic methods, rather than at the root of them. It was the philosophy of cynicism: the most effectual means of limiting one's outlook, of concentrating all one's energies on the task in hand.

Voice of the Fire

Voice of the Fire

In a story full of lust, madness, and ecstasy, we meet twelve distinctive characters that lived in the same region of central England over the span of six thousand years. Their narratives are woven together in patterns of recurring events, strange traditions, and uncanny visions. First, a cave-boy loses his mother, falls in love, and learns a deadly lesson. He is followed by an extraordinary cast of characters: a murderess who impersonates her victim, a fisherman who believes he has become a different species, a Roman emissary who realizes the bitter truth about the Empire, a crippled nun who is healed miraculously by a disturbing apparition, an old crusader whose faith is destroyed by witnessing the ultimate relic, two witches, lovers, who burn at the stake. Each interconnected tale traces a path in a journey of discovery of the secrets of the land. In the tradition of Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, Schwob's Imaginary Lives, and Borges' A Universal History of Infamy, Alan Moore (Watchmen, From Hell, Lost Girls) travels through history blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing. Now available in paperback for the first time in America! With an Introduction by Neil Gaiman, a signature of full-color plates by Jose Villarrubia, and a cover design by Chip Kidd.

The Classic Collection of Fairy Tales from The Brothers Grimm & Hans Christian Andersen

The Classic Collection of Fairy Tales from The Brothers Grimm & Hans Christian Andersen

This beautifully illustrated book features classic stories from master storytellers Hans Christian Andersen and The Brothers Grimm. Children and adults will delight in these enchanting tales,  including best-loved stories such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Princess and the Pea, The Elves and the Shoemaker,  Rapunzel and The Ugly Duckling.  These wonderful stories have withstood the test of time and are part of a heritage of folk and fairy tales that are shared across borders and languages. This collection contains twenty-four popular tales, retold for the contemporary reader. Accompanying the text, Cathie Shuttleworth’s  beautifully intricate illustrations and gold embellishments decorate every page, making this lovely book a pleasure for parents to read to their children or for children to read by themselves. Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish storyteller, was born in 1805. Although he was the son of a poor shoemaker, he longed to make his living by writing. After many struggles, he finally became known as a poet, but today it is his fairy tales that are best loved.  Perhaps the secret of Andersen’s success is that he wrote his stories, as he told a friend, as if he were telling them to a child. Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm was born in 1785 in Germany. His brother Wilhelm Carl came along a year later. Both brothers loved the German language and the stories that were  told in it. In 1812, they published their first collection of folk and fairy tales, collected from all over Germany. Many of the stories had been told for centuries, enchanting children and adults with their mixture of magic and mystery. The brothers went on to make other collections and their books were soon translated around the world.

For Us, The Living

For Us, The Living

From Grandmaster Robert A. Heinlein comes a long-lost first novel, written in 1939 and never before published, introducing ideas and themes that would shape his career and define the genre that is synonymous with his name. July 12, 1939 Perry Nelson is driving along the palisades when suddenly another vehicle swerves into his lane, a tire blows out, and his car careens off the road and over a bluff. The last thing he sees before his head connects with the boulders below is a girl in a green bathing suit, prancing along the shore.... When he wakes, the girl in green is a woman dressed in furs and the sun-drenched shore has transformed into snowcapped mountains. The woman, Diana, rescues Perry from the bitter cold and takes him inside her home to rest and recuperate. Later they debate the cause of the accident, for Diana is unfamiliar with the concept of a tire blowout and Perry cannot comprehend snowfall in mid-July. Then Diana shares with him a vital piece of information: The date is now January 7. The year...2086. When his shock subsides, Perry begins an exhaustive study of global evolution over the past 150 years. He learns, among other things, that a United Europe was formed and led by Edward, Duke of Windsor; former New York City mayor LaGuardia served two terms as president of the United States; the military draft was completely reconceived; banks became publicly owned and operated; and in the year 2003, two helicopters destroyed the island of Manhattan in a galvanizing act of war. This education in the ways of the modern world emboldens Perry to assimilate to life in the twenty-first century. But education brings with it inescapable truths -- the economic and legal systems, the government, and even the dynamic between men and women remain alien to Perry, the customs of the new day continually testing his mental and emotional resolve. Yet it is precisely his knowledge of a bygone era that will serve Perry best, as the man from 1939 seems destined to lead his newfound peers even further into the future than they could have imagined. A classic example of the future history that Robert Heinlein popularized during his career, For Us, The Living marks both the beginning and the end of an extraordinary arc of political, social, and literary crusading that comprises his legacy. Heinlein could not have known in 1939 how the world would change over the course of one and a half centuries, but we have our own true world history to compare with his brilliant imaginings, rendering For Us, The Living not merely a novel, but a time capsule view into our past, our present, and perhaps our future. The novel is presented here with an introduction by acclaimed science fiction writer Spider Robinson and an afterword by Professor Robert James of the Heinlein Society.

Wool

Wool

NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+*INCLUDES ORIGINAL NEW ESSAY “A HISTORY OF THE DARKEST YARNS” FROM HUGH HOWEY*“One of dystopian fiction’s masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." — Daily ExpressThe first book in the acclaimed, New York Times best-selling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo.But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside. After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.“Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.” — Washington Post

Sooley

Sooley

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • John Grisham takes you to a different kind of court in his first basketball novel. Samuel “Sooley” Sooleymon is a raw, young talent with big hoop dreams—and even bigger challenges off the court. “Hard to put down ... the pages turn quickly ... building to a climax that won’t leave readers doubting whether this is a John Grisham novel.” —Associated PressIn the summer of his seventeenth year, Sam­uel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basket­ball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true.Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quick­ness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed.During the tournament, Samuel receives dev­astating news from home: A civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ran­sacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp.Samuel desperately wants to go home, but it’s just not possible. Partly out of sympathy, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholar­ship. Samuel moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, joins the team, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. There is plenty of more mature talent and he isn’t immediately needed.But Samuel has something no other player has: a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America. He works tirelessly on his game, shooting baskets every morning at dawn by himself in the gym, and soon he’s dominating everyone in practice. With the Central team los­ing and suffering injury after injury, Sooley, as he is nicknamed, is called off the bench. And the legend begins.But how far can Sooley take his team? And will success allow him to save his family?Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham’s unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game.Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

El cuento de la criada

El cuento de la criada

El libro de cabecera de una nueva generación.Amparándose en la coartada del terrorismo, unos políticos teócratas se hacen con el poder y, como primera medida, suprimen la libertad de prensa y los derechos de las mujeres. Esta trama, inquietante y oscura, que bien podría encontrarse en cualquier obra actual, pertenece en realidad a esta novela escrita por Margaret Atwood a principios de los ochenta, en la que la afamada autora canadiense anticipó con llamativa premonición una amenaza latente en el mundo de hoy.En la República de Gilead, el cuerpo de Defred sólo sirve para procrear, tal como imponen las férreas normas establecidas por la dictadura puritana que domina el país. Si Defred se rebela -o si, aceptando colaborar a regañadientes, no es capaz de concebir- le espera la muerte en ejecución pública o el destierro a unas Colonias en las que sucumbirá a la polución de los residuos tóxicos. Así, el régimen controla con mano de hierro hasta los más ínfimos detalles de la vida de las mujeres: su alimentación, su indumentaria, incluso su actividad sexual. Pero nadie, ni siquiera un gobierno despótico parapetado tras el supuesto mandato de un dios todopoderoso, puede gobernar el pensamiento de una persona. Y mucho menos su deseo.Los peligros inherentes a mezclar religión y política; el empeño de todo poder absoluto en someter a las mujeres como paso conducente a sojuzgar a toda la población; la fuerza incontenible del deseo como elemento transgresor: son tan sólo una muestra de los temas que aborda este relato desgarrador, aderezado con el sutil sarcasmo que constituye la seña de identidad de Margaret Atwood. Una escritora universal que, con el paso del tiempo, no deja de asombrarnos con la lucidez de sus ideas y la potencia de su prosa.La crítica ha dicho...«Margaret Atwood no solo es una escritora brillante, es también una de las más premiadas, de más éxito de nuestros tiempos. Se ha convertido en una intelectual a la que muchos recurrimos en busca de respuesta, como una suerte de visionaria.»Sandra Sabaté, El intermedio«Una novela extraordinaria llamada a suceder a la de Orwell como metáfora del futuro inmediato. Si en 1984 se fabuló la existencia de un Gran Hermano que, a nuestros ojos, es sinónimo de telecontrol y drones y telerrealidad; se podría decir que El cuento de la criada anticipa la obsesión actual por la fertilidad, en un contexto de extremismo religioso que también nos es sospechosamente familiar.»Jorge Carrión, La Vanguardia«Es una joya que merece ser leída, incluso aunque se haya visto la serie. Yo la leí hace años y me pareció buena, muy bien escrita y una historia brutal pero absolutamente inverosímil. Ahora sin embargo, cuando la relees descubres síntomas inquietantes de nuestro tiempo. Cómo la historia -de la humanidad en general y de las mujeres en particular- da pasosde gigante hacia adelante y de repente, en muy poco tiempo, todo se va al traste. Deja mal cuerpo, aviso.»El País«El cuento de la criada es la historia de la pérdida de unas libertades que creemos inalienables. Aunque fue publicado hace algo más de 30 años y el régimen que lo inspiró (la así llamada República Democrática de Alemania) ya no existe, el libro es leído en nuestros días como una obra completamente actual en no menor medida debido a que los acontecimientos recientes parecen poner de manifiesto que Gilead ya no es sólo una distopía literaria, sino una posibilidad.»Babelia«Merece un lugar de honor en el reducido estante reservado a las obras de literatura anticipatoria que han conseguido formar parte del folclore moderno.»Publisher's Weekly
