Hun bestyrer en café, som går strygende, og hun er klar til at stifte familie.

Rosa aner ikke sine levende råd. Hvordan skal hun tage sådan en stor beslutning? Snart begynder fremmede med tvivlsomme motiver at dukke op i byen, og da gamle familiehemmeligheder ser dagens lys, sætter det skub i en række begivenheder, der vil ændre Rosas liv for altid.

Occasionally, when something seems very familiar you lose sight of what makes it so special: Flemish Masters. From van Eyck to Bruegel sets out to counteract this effect and opens our eyes once again to the revolution that took place in the Low Countries in the 15th and 16th centuries that shaped the course of European art. In 48 lavishly illustrated analyses, Matthias Depoorter explores how painters such as Van Eyck, Van der Weiden, Massys, Bosch, and Bruegel reached unprecedented heights, and are rightfully considered innovators to this day.The defining factor was their perfecting and mastery of the oil painting technique as well as their groundbreaking attention to optical lighting effects. The new technical possibilities offered a different way of looking at the world and ultimately a new way of painting. No less innovative was the level of detail. These painters were thoroughly acquainted with each other's work-this volume shows the fundamental artistic cross-fertilization. A must-read for anyone who wants to fall in love with the old master- pieces anew.MATTHIAS DEPOORTER (*1980) is a writer and an art historian. He was one of the curators of the seminal exhibition Van Eyck: An Optical Revolution at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent and coordinated the accompanying scholarly publication.

Superspændende krimiserie fra Joy Ellis, en af Englands mest læste krimiforfattere.Ny krimiserie, der foregår i området The Fens, et stort marskområde i det østlige England, med en kvindelig kriminalkommisær i hovedrollen. Kriminalkommissær Nikki Galena er lidt af en enspænder og ikke nogen nem person at arbejde sammen med. Men hun er en god efterforsker og slår ekstremt hårdt ned på al narkokriminalitet. Nogle gange næsten for hårdt, men det er der en særlig grund til: Efter at en ung pige døde i Nikkis arme efter at have taget stoffer, er Nikki klar til at gå langt for at rydde byen for det afskum, der sælger stoffer til de unge mennesker i byen. Og det er ikke den eneste traumatiske hændelse i fortiden, der plager Nikki.Vicekriminalkommissær Joseph Easter, der har en fortid som jægersoldat, er blevet midlertidigt overflyttet til stationen i Greenborough. Også Joseph kæmper med skygger i fortiden, men griber sine dæmoner noget anderledes an end Nikki og er blevet en overkorrekt strisser, som kollegaerne ser skævt til. Sjovt nok arbejder de to enspændertyper overraskende godt sammen, og hvad der starter som et midlertidigt arrangement, ser ud til at kunne blive til et rigtig godt makkerskab. Shortlistet ved British Book Awards 20214,6 stjerner i gennemsnit på Amazon Kåret til Audible Debut Crime Author of the Year 2018 JOY ELLIS har størstedelen af sit liv boet i og omkring London. Da hun under finanskrisen blev nødt til at lukke sin blomsterforretning, fik hun arbejde i en boghandel, og omgivet af bøger fik hun lyst til selv at begynde at skrive. Hendes første bog var Crime on the Fens (2010), og siden da har hun skrevet over tyve bøger og solgt over tre millioner bøger på engelsk. Joy Ellis bor nu i en lille by i området The Fens nord for Cambridge, et stort fladt marskområde, kendt for sine hyggelige småbyer og den tætte tåge, der har det med ofte at lægge sig over landskabet.

'A 20th century literary classic!' This was best-selling novelist Rachel Hore's reaction when asked to introduce Gertrude Trevelyan's 1937 novel Two Thousand Million Man-Power. Utterly forgotten for over 80 years, neither the book nor its author are mentioned in any history of 20th century English literature. Yet Trevelyan is arguably the finest novelist of the generation to follow Virginia Woolf and Two Thousand Million Man-Power is among her greatest achievements. It is a masterly piece of social realism that traces the lives of a young London couple set against a background of rapid technological, ideological and political change, and satirizes contemporary bourgeois life and its fashionable interwar belief in endless progress.Beginning on New Year's Eve, 1919, Two Thousand Million Man-Power follows Katherine and Robert, as university graduates, through almost 20 years of British history. Starting as idealistic radicals, they become comfortable middle-class consumers, only to then be plunged into unemployment and poverty when the stock market crashes. Trevelyan's portrait of life in the 1920s and 1930s is as fierce and gripping as George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier. Two Thousand Million Man-Power continues the mission of Recovered Books series to rescue exceptional books long unavailable to today's readers.

En strålende memoir fra forfatteren til High Fidelity og Om en dreng. I USA hedder det ”soccer”. Men i Storbritannien er det ”football”, det drejer sig om. Ingen beskyttelse, ingen kære mor.

Fodboldfeber er hans hyldest til en livslang besættelse. Dels en selvbiografi, dels en komedie og dels en skarpsindig analyse af vanviddet.
