I AM ZLATAN - the explosive, critically-acclaimed memoir of Zlatan Ibrahimovich, one of the world's most gifted and controversial footballers'Guardiola has no balls. He drove me like a Fiat . . .

Born to a Muslim father from Bosnia, and a Catholic mother from Croatia, Zlatan recounts his extraordinary life story, from his poverty-stricken upbringing as an outsider in Malm , Sweden, to becoming one of the world's most sought-after and expensive players, gracing Europe's finest clubs, from Ajax to Juventus, Internazionale to Barcelona, Milan to Paris Saint-Germain.

Bestsellerforfatteren Tom Buk-Swienty har skrevet en stort anlagt dokumentarisk fortælling om danskere i Berlin under 2. Verdenskrig – baseret på unikt og hidtil upubliceret materiale.Da Berlin kapitulerede den 2. maj 1945, var byen en rygende tomt. 170.000 tyske og russiske soldater var dræbt, over 300.000 sårede og 100.000 civile var omkommet. I årene op til byens fald blev den sønderbombet, og størstedelen af den lå i ruiner, da krigen sluttede.Midt i dette kaos befandt bogens to hovedpersoner sig: Paul E. Stemann fra Berlingske Tidende og Arild Hvidtfeldt fra Socialdemokraten. De havde været udstationeret i Hitler-Tysklands hovedstad de sidste år af 2. Verdenskrig og oplevede nu på allernærmeste hold de allieredes rædselsvækkende bombetogter, russernes indtog og Berlins endegyldige fald.De skrev udførligt om det, de så, og deres øjenvidneskildringer hører til de mest mangefacetterede og fascinerende beretninger, der findes om krigsårene i den tyske hovedstad.Dele af materialet bag bogen har aldrig tidligere været benyttet af danske historikere. Stemanns upublicerede erindringer har ligget i arkiverne på Imperial War Museum i London, Hvidtfeldts materiale har befundet sig i et privatarkiv. Bogen trækker også på en ung dansk diplomat, Frederik Holck Coldings, private breve, som hidtil har været klausulerede. Han ankom til Berlin i 1944 og blev nære venner med korrespondenterne.Tom Buk-Swienty har fået adgang til dette helt unikke materiale, der udgør en vigtig del den dramatiske grundfortælling, som han har rekonstrueret de dramatiske begivenheder ud fra efter flere års dybdegående research i emnet.Berlin brænder er den første bog om danskerne i Berlin. Andet bind, Russerne kommer, er planlagt til foråret 2025

Den 86-årige Jørgen Leth insisterer på at skabe, virke, opleve og nyde, selvom han befinder sig i livets sidste fase, men det er ikke nemt, når alderen sætter sine spor. I denne bog sætter han ord på, hvad alderdommen bringer med sig af erkendelser, glæder og besværligheder. Forfatteren og præstesønnen Jakob Kvist har sat Jørgen Leth stævne i København og på Mallorca til en række meget personlige samtaler om de store temaer i tilværelsen: eksistensen, kærligheden, troen, familien, kunsten og døden.

'There's never been a more honest or raw memoir ... and it may just save lives' Daily Mail'Funny, fascinating, compelling ... also a wonderful read for fans of Friends' The TimesThe beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.'So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.'An unflinching and often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans' Guardian'Written with Chandler's trademark sarcasm and self-deprecation' Telegraph'A hopeful read ... I started to think of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history through the prism of showbiz' Independent

An intimate memoir from Peter Levine, renowned developer of Somatic Experiencing and bestselling author of Waking the Tiger

Som en af de mest ikoniske musikere i vor tid har Bono allerede fået sin karriere omfattende dokumenteret. I SURRENDER skriver han imidlertid for første gang selv om sit bemærkelsesværdige liv og dem, han har delt det med. Med sin unikke stemmeføring bringer Bono os fra sin opvækst i Dublin, hvor han som 14-årig pludselig mistede sin mor, til U2’s usandsynlige vej mod at blive et af de mest indflydelsesrige rockband i verden og 20 års engagement i kampen mod AIDS og ekstrem fattigdom. Med åbenhjertig selvindsigt og befriende humor slår Bono dørene op til sit liv – og til den familie, de venner og den tro, som har støttet, udfordret og formet ham. Undertitlen på SURRENDER, ”40 sange, én historie”, hentyder til bogens 40 kapitler, som alle er opkaldt efter en af U2’s sange. Derudover har Bono skabt 40 originale tegninger til SURRENDER. Bono udtaler: ”Da jeg begyndte at skrive bogen, var det mit ønske at gå i detaljer med det, jeg hidtil kun havde skitseret i sange. Med mennesker, steder og muligheder i mit liv. Surrender (dansk: overgivelse) er et ord, der betyder meget for mig. Når man som jeg voksede op i 1970'ernes Irland med (i musikalsk forstand) knytnæverne fremme, lå det ikke lige for at skulle overgive sig. Jeg nøjedes med at kredse om ordet, indtil bogen tog form i mine tanker. At skulle overgive sig kræver ydmyghed, og det kæmper jeg stadig med. I bandet, i mit ægteskab, i min tro og i mit liv som politisk aktivist. SURRENDER er historien om en pilgrims vandring på stedet ... Med en del morskab på vejen.” Bono er forsanger i U2 og født i 1960 i Dublin som Paul David Hewson. I skolen mødte han The Edge, Larry Mullen og Adam Clayton, og i 1978 blev U2 dannet. I 1980 udgav bandet sit første album, Boy, på Island Records, og siden har det udgivet i alt 14 studiealbums og på verdensplan solgt 157 millioner plader. U2 har vundet talrige priser, heriblandt 22 Grammyer og en Oscar-nominering, Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award samt som de første ikke-britiske kunstnere nogensinde en BRIT Award for ”Enestående bidrag til britisk musik”. I 2005 blev U2 optaget i Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Sideløbende med sin musikalske karriere er Bono en fremtrædende politisk aktivist med mærkesager som kampen mod aids og ekstrem fattigdom. Han bor i Dublin med sin kone, Ali. Parret har fire børn.

Getting Lost is the diary kept by Annie Ernaux during the year and a half she had a secret love affair with a younger, married man, an attache to the Soviet embassy in Paris. Her novel, Simple Passion, was based on this affair, but here her writing is immediate and unfiltered. In these diaries it is 1989 and Annie is divorced with two grown sons, living in the suburbs of Paris and nearing fifty. Her lover escapes the city to see her there and Ernaux seems to survive only in expectation of these encounters. She cannot write, she trudges distractedly through her various other commitments in the world, she awaits his next call; she lives merely to feel desire and for the next rendezvous. When he is gone and the moment of desire has faded, she feels that she is a step closer to death.Lauded for her spare prose, Ernaux here removes all artifice, her writing pared down to its most naked and vulnerable. Translated brilliantly for the first time by Alison L. Strayer,Getting Lostis a haunting record of a woman in the grips of love, desire and despair.

Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. ?The days are long, but the years are short,? she realized. ?Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter.? In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.In this lively and compelling account?now updated with new material by the author?Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Among other things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference.This updated edition includes:A new extensive interview with the authorA guide to dozens of free resources for readersThe Happiness Project ManifestoAn excerpt from Gretchen Rubin's bestselling book The Four Tendencies

Man må ændre sit liv, hvis man har taget en andens.Hovedpersonen i denne bog blev i 2018 dømt for drab efter et drive by-skyderi, som var kulminationen på en blodig konflikt om 500.000 euro. Under sin afsoning gik han i exit, uden at gå til politiet, og i denne bog fortæller han sin egen historie. Om en rodløs barndom med kriminel debut som 14-årig. Om rødderne fra Ydre Nørrebro, der printede navnet Brothas på deres T-shirts, blev kvarterets førende gadebande og gik i krig mod resten af det kriminelle København – i en uendelig konflikt om underverdenen, udkæmpet af unge mænd, der kaldte sig brødre, indtil de vendte pistolerne mod hinanden.BRØDRE er en brutal og øjenåbnende fortælling om uløselige kriminelle regnskaber, der først går op, når den ene part ender i en kiste, og den anden sidder i en fængselscelle. Bogen er dokumentarisk, baseret på sagsakter og journalistisk research. Men også dybt personlig, baseret på over 100 timers samtaler med en mand fra miljøet, der levede femten år som fuldtidskriminel og betaler prisen, nu hvor hver dag er en kamp for ikke at falde tilbage til gamle vaner. Han har mistet venner og folk, som han kaldte brødre. Nogle er døde, andre blev fjender. Han har kappet båndene for at leve et liv uden kriminalitet. Bogen viser, at kampen er lang og ensom, men at exit er den eneste udvej for en gammel gangster.

Taking the form of random journal entries over the course of seven years, Exteriors concentrates on the ephemeral encounters that take place just on the periphery of a person's lived environment. Ernaux captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of Paris: poignantly lyrical, chaotic, and strangely alive.
