73,95 - 238,95 kr. "Klara og solen" er Kazuo Ishiguros første roman efter at han modtog Nobelprisen i litteratur.Det er historien om Klara, en Kunstig Ven, med en usædvanlig observationsevne, som fra sin plads bag butiksruden observerer adfærden hos de kunder, der kommer ind for at se på varerne, men også er ualmindelig opmærksom på de mennesker, der går forbi på fortovet udenfor. Hun håber til stadighed på at få sig en menneskelig ejer, at en kunde skal vælge hende, men da det viser sig, at dette sandsynligvis vil forandre Klaras liv for altid, tager hun det som en advarsel mod at fæste alt for stor lid til menneskers løfter. "Klara og solen" er en stærkt bevægende og overrumplende roman om, hvad det vil sige at elske et andet menneske.I begrundelsen for Nobelprisen i 2017 blev Ishiguros romaner beskrevet som ”romaner med en stor følelsesmæssig virkning, som afdækker afgrunden under vores illusoriske forbundethed med omverdenen.”

But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "e;greatness,"e; and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

358,95 kr. From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date. "From the Hardcover edition.

178,95 kr. Stevens is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious to the real life that goes on around him--oblivious, for instance, to the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, there are even larger matters at stake here--namely, Stevens's own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence.

138,95 kr. Das Leben im Internat Hailsham scheint unauffällig: Freundschaften werden geschlossen, Konflikte ausgetragen, Beziehungen beginnen, kurz: die Internatsschüler durchleben eine normale Jugend. Doch dann gibt es da auch noch die anderen Aspekte des Lebens an diesem Ort. Mysteriöse Einrichtungen wie der jährliche Basar, einer der wenigen Zeitpunkte, an dem die Kinder Kontakt zur Außenwelt haben, oder unklare Andeutungen über die besondere Bestimmung eines jeden einzelnen Schülers dieses Internats - die Idylle scheint nicht das zu sein, was sie verspricht. Viele Jahre nach ihrem Austritt aus Hailsham erinnert sich die ehemalige Schülerin Kathy an ihre Zeit dort und beginnt für sich und den Leser langsam das dunkle Geheimnis zu entüllen, das diesen Ort umgibt.

As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.

183,95 kr. From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prizewinning novel The Remains of the Day comes an inspired sequence of stories as affecting as it is beautiful. With the clarity and precision that have become his trademarks, Kazuo Ishiguro interlocks five short pieces of fiction to create a world that resonates with emotion, heartbreak, and humor. Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany.
