Helvede tur-retur tager fat, hvor Den store katastrofe slutter. I denne del af Ian Kershaws storstilede projekt om at skrive Europas historie i det 20. århundrede, beskriver forfatteren udviklingen i Europa efter Adolf Hitlers magtovertagelse i Tyskland i 1933. Den nye militære konflikt, der opstod i 1939 og som resulterede i Anden Verdenskrig, skulle vise sig at blive endnu værre end den første – med massemord på civile og en lang række voldsomme begivenheder, der påvirkede hele det europæiske kontinent i efterkrigstiden.I disse væsentlige værker udfolder den prisbelønnede historiker Ian Kershaw på overbevisende vis denne dybt fascinerende periode i europæisk historie. Han beskriver ikke bare de dramatiske og traumatiske begivenheder, men diskuterer også de vanskelige spørgsmål, som er fulgt i krigenes kølvand, og hvis virkninger heraf stadig mærkes den dag i dag. Ligesom Den store katastrofe kan dette bind læses for sig selv.

Med Liebhaverne forsætter Anne B. Ragde sin succesfulde Berlinerpoplerserie om Torunn, Erlend, Margido og alle de andre fra Neshovgården lidt uden for Trondheim. Torunn har valgt at slå rødder på den gamle slægtsgård og nyder arbejdet med at sætte sit eget præg på det hele - både indenfor og ude. De mange mindelser om fortidens dystre begivenheder skal manes i jorden. Gamle Tormod trives på Byneset plejehjem og nyder Torunns hyppige besøg og ikke mindst, når hendes hund Anna er med. Samtidig er Torunn blevet ansat hos Margido og hjælper ham med bedemandsforretningen og tjener på den måde til livets ophold. I København har Erlend og Krumme travlt med at gøre en gammel villa til en passende bolig for deres storfamilie. Men siden al balladen om, hvad der skulle ske med Neshov, da Torunns far døde, har der ikke været kontakt mellem den norske og den danske del af familie. Kan skårene klinkes? Pressen skriver: »Absolut læseværdig.« **** – Femina »Ragde har gjort det igen. Endnu en gang følger man spændt og overrasket med i familiens liv. Sproget flyder, og karaktererne står lyslevende for læseren. Femte bind er gribende.« – Bibliotekernes lektørudtalelse

Neil Gaiman genfortæller på ægte Gaimansk facon med dybde, passion og humor de fascinerende historier fra den nordiske mytologi. Gaiman forbliver tro mod myterne og formidler dem, så både unge og voksne trækkes ind i de gamle guders magtkampe, deres letantændelige temperamenter og deres forsøg på at narre hinanden og skabe intriger. ”Læser man mere end fire ord, har man vanskeligt ved at stoppe. Man ønsker mere. Man borer sine øjne ind i fortællingen og lader den folde sig ud.” Nordjyske Stiftstidende, 5 stjerner af 6 ”En gedigen genfortælling af de nordiske myter.” Politiken, 4 af 6 hjerter ”Helt igennem fantastisk!” romeoreviews.com "Bogen er yderst underholdende. Den er delt op så hver historie har sit egen afsnit i romanen. De er alle delt op i kapitler så man kan, hvis man har lyst, sagtens læse myterne lidt af gangen. Hvis der skulle komme endnu en bog om mytologi fra Gaimans hånd – vil jeg stille mig som først i køen. Han skriver fremragende." Bogfidusen.dk "Mytologier er fantastiske og Gaiman serverer dem her (i en virkelig god oversættelse af Karen Vad Bruun og Benni Bødker) i et meget spiseligt og fængende sprog. De er let tilgængelige og en rigtig god indgang til mytologien. I øvrigt både for nye, men også læsere, der allerede kender til de mytiske fortællinger. Oplagt julegave, hvis du spørger mig." Trolderier.dk "Guddommeligt." Litteratursiden.dk "En fed læseoplevelse." Evaluciamusicandliterature.com, 4 af 5 stjerner "Ved at fortolke fortællingerne så trofast og med så stor glæde tager Gaiman rollen som skjald og opfordrer os til at sætte os tæt sammen på en kølig vinternat og klukle og undre os sammen med ham." Financial Times "Gaimans genfortællinger burde være alle læseres første bog om nordisk mytologi." KIRKUS

En flænge i himlen og Paper Towns er en mester i at skildre de skæve karakterer, og i Skildpadder hele vejen ned står portrættet af hovedpersonen Aza stærkt. Med stor indlevelse skildres en ung kvinde med OCD og hendes kamp for at navigere i en såkaldt normal tilværelse.Romanen fortæller om livslangt venskab, Star Wars fan fiction, en forsvunden millionær og den første svære kærlighed, der ikke bliver nemmere, når man samtidig har psykiske udfordringer at tumle med.

Da Leonoras mor dør, beslutter hun at skrive den faktiske historie om sig selv og sit liv. Om den ensomme Christina, der vokser op i et rødt parcelhus i Helsinge med en plan: Hvis bare hun opfører sig almindeligt, får topkarakterer og ikke gør sin mor ked af det eller sin far vred, kan det være, at de kan elske hende. Og om den unge litteraturstuderende, der på trods flytter til København for at genskabe sig selv som forfatteren Leonora og til sine forældres rædsel forelsker sig i en kvindelig præst. ”Når du ligger i rendestenen, skal du nok komme hjem”, siger hendes far, men så tager Leonoras raseri og livslyst endelig over. Den, der lever stille er en stærk fortælling om at miste det hele og finde sig selv, om at håbe på en forklaring og hige efter sin mors kærlighed langt ind i døden. Leonora Christina Skov (f. 1976) har senest udgivet den anmelderroste, autofiktive bestseller Den, der lever stille, som beskriver Leonoras opvækst og et barns higen efter forældrenes kærlighed og anerkendelse. Tidligere har Leonora skrevet romanerne: Hvor intet bryder vinden, Førsteelskeren, Silhuet af en synder, Champagnepigen og Rygsvømmeren. Hendes forfatterskab er oversat til tysk, hollandsk, tjekkisk, norsk og spansk. Hun er litteraturanmelder ved Weekendavisen, mag.art. i litteraturvidenskab og har modtaget Kunstfondens treårige arbejdslegat. Leonora Christina Skov blev i 2019 tildelt boghandlernes pris, De Gyldne Laurbær, blandt andet for sin roman Den, der lever stille. Leonora har en populær Instagram-profil, hvor hun deler tanker og fotos fra sit forfatterskab.

Vinder af BogForums Debutantpris 2015 Morten vokser op i ghettoen Urbanplanen på Amager med det værst tænkelige udgangspunkt - han er intelligent, dygtigere end sine jævnaldrende i skolen, og drømmer om at blive skuespiller. Men drømmene lever under umulige vilkår i et understimuleret miljø præget af vold og kriminalitet, samt en selvforstærkende underklasse-jantelov, der mere end noget andet dikterer, at man ikke skal tro, man er en skid. Da Mortens forældre bliver skilt starter en kædereaktion af svigt, der vender op og ned på alt, og langsomt identificerer den stille og nørdede dreng sig mere og mere med sine indvandrervenner og deres had og vrede mod samfundet og ikke mindst sig selv. Planen er en coming-of-age-fortælling om at være barn, vokse op, blive forelsket og forsøge at finde sig selv i et betændt multikulturelt mikrokosmos, som de færreste undslipper eller kender til. Samtidig er Planen en historisk roman om de menneskelige omkostninger ved 90’ernes fejlslagne integration og 00’ernes fjendtlige indvandrerdebat, der kulminerede med profet-karikaturer, bandekrig og en hovedstad, der blev sat i flammer. Om forfatteren: Morten Pape (f. 1986) er opvokset på Amager i Urbanplanen. Han er under uddannelse som manuskriptforfatter på den alternative filmskole Super16. Planen er hans debutroman.
