Hvad, hvis kvinder havde magten? Pludselig – i morgen eller dagen efter – opdager alle verdens teenagepiger, at de har fået ‘kraf­ten’; evnen til at give dødeligt stærke elektriske stød. Bogen følger tre kvinder og en mand gennem 10 år, mens kraften langsomt ændrer på magtbalancen mellem kønnene, og en verdensomspændende revolution tager sin begyndelse. Det begynder i det små. I USA indser en kvindelig borgmester, at den fysisk overlegne kvinde kan komme langt i politik. Datteren af en britisk mafiaboss tager en hævnaktion i egne hænder, og en sydstatspige får endelig mulighed for at flygte fra misbruget i sin plejefamilie. Andre steder er omvæltningen mere dramatisk. I Moldova tager tidligere sexslaver kampen op mod den systematiserede menneskehandel, og i Indien og Saudi-Arabien gør kvinderne oprør mod århundreders undertrykkelse. En ung nigeriansk journalist dokumenterer det hele – også, da mændene svarer igen. Kraften er et portræt af fire liv og et verdenssamfund i radikal forandring. Det er en provo­ker­ende, tankevækkende og overraskende morsom roman, der både beskriver en alternativ virkelighed og afslører vores egen verdens skyggesider. Naomi Alderman skriver romaner og noveller. Hun er vokset op i London og har læst på Oxford University og University of East Anglia. Hun laver bl.a. udsendelser for BBC Radio 4 og skriver for The Guardian. Kraften er hendes fjerde roman og den første oversat til dansk. Hun har vundet flere priser for sine bøger, bl.a. Bailey’s Prize for Women’s Fiction 2017 og Women’s Prize for Fiction 2018, begge for Kraften.

The universe is a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, others are hell, a dire existential threat. Stealth is survival. Any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Earth has. And the others are on the way.

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of The Children of Hurin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to TolkieThere are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Turin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Hurin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Turin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

Det niende og næstsidste bind i kærlighedsdramaet mellem den tidsrejsende Claire Randall og den skotske klanleder Jamie Fraser er en stor fortælling om krig og fred, om jagten på lykken under umenneskelige betingelser og om nødvendigheden af at træffe afgørende valg på afgørende tidspunkter.Jamie Fraser og Claire Randall har endelig fundet tilbage til hinanden, efter de brutalt  blev adskilt under Slaget ved Culloden i 1746. Det har taget dem mere end tyve år med afsavn og længsel at nå dertil, og nu truer endnu en brutal opstand deres nyfundne lykke. Den Amerikanske Uafhængighedskrig rykker tættere og tættere på.I 1779 er Claire og Jamie også blevet genforenet med datteren Brianna og hendes mand Roger, og sammen går de i gang med at genopbygge deres fælles hjem på Fraser’s Ridge i kolonien North Carolina. At familien nu endelig er samlet har været en drøm, hverken Claire eller Jamie nogensinde havde turdet håbe på skulle gå i opfyldelse, men selv langt oppe i North Carolinas bjerge begynder de at mærke følgerne af Uafhængighedskrigen, og spændingerne i kolonien er ved at nå kogepunktet.Det viser sig, at hverken nutiden eller fremtiden – eller en hvilken som helst anden tid – kan garantere Claire og Jamie fred og frihed. Det eneste, de kan gøre, er med alle midler at forsøge at beskytte deres hjem, deres familie og deres kærlighed.

Fra den Pulitzer-prisvindende forfatter bag Alt det lys vi ikke ser, en af de mest anerkendte og bedst sælgende bøger i nyere tid, kommer nu en triumf af fantasi: En skyhøj roman om børn, der træder ind i de voksnes rækker i en ødelagt verden.I det femtende århundredes Konstantinopel vokser forældreløse Anna op i et hus befolket af kvinder, der alle ernærer sig ved at brodere kåber til byens præster. Da Anna ved et tilfælde får fingre i et antikt manuskript, fortrylles hun af fortællingen om Aithon, drengen der drømmer om at flyve op til Byen i skyerne. Men Konstantinopel er under fjendtligt angreb udefra, og Annas søster er dødeligt syg. På den anden side af de høje bymure står bondedrengen Omeir, milevidt hjemmefra. Han er tvunget i krig af den invaderende hær, og ved Konstantinopels mure krydses hans veje med Annas. Fem hundrede år senere, på et bibliotek i Idaho, er den tidligere krigsfange Zeno i færd med at instruere fem skolebørn i et skuespil baseret på Aithons historie. Blandt hyldernes mange bøger har den forstyrrede klimaaktivist Seymour plantet en bombe. Og i en ikke så fjern fremtid skriver Konstance fortællingen om Aithon ned fra erindringen, som hendes far fortalte hende den. Hun har aldrig set Jorden, kun hørt historier om den, om bord på fartøjet Argos. BYEN I SKYERNE er en episk roman om kærlighed, længsel og omsorg for Jorden og de sjæle, der befolker den. Med virtuos fornemmelse for komposition væver Anthony Doerr skæbnetrådene sammen til et varmt sanset portræt af menneskelivets mest hjertegribende aspekter.
