Den mangeårige kaptajn på det gode skib Æren går fra borde en sidste gang og vinker farvel til skibets mange passagerer. En ny kaptajn skal vælges: ”Jeg vil gerne være kaptajn!” råber skibets mest irriterende mand, der sædvanligvis står under trappen ved kvindernes omklædningsrum for at kigge op under nederdele. En del af passagererne stemmer på ham i trods, nogle fordi der bare skal ske noget nyt og fordi, han altid siger præcis, hvad han tænker. Den irriterende, højtråbende, gramsende mand bliver valgt. Og straks går alt galt på skibet.Kaptajnen og Æren er en hylende morsom og utroligt skræmmende fortælling om Trumps Amerika sat i scene på et stort skib. Kaptajnen spiser kun hamburgere tilberedt af teenagere, han vælger skibets mest sexede og smukke kvinde (sin datter) til chefrådgiver, han kommunikerer udelukkende gennem kryptiske beskeder skrevet på et whiteboard, og han inviterer en frygtet pirat om bord på skibet, selvom alle passagererne frygter piraten ... Kaptajnen synes bare, piraten ser SÅ maskulin ud, når han rider på sin hest i bar overkrop.

"Dave Eggers' nye roman er en født klassiker," 5 hjerter, Politiken I et land uden navn, som netop er kommet om på den anden side af en blodig borgerkrig, er to udefrakommende mænd blev hyret til at bygge en vej fra hovedstaden i nord til de fattige byer i syd som et tegn på forbrødring i landet. 4 og 9 hedder mændene, som kører den store, specialbyggede maskine, der kan anlægge en vej på farten. 4 er en erfaren regelrytter, 9 er på sin første mission og synes snart, at det er mere interessant at mænge sig med lokalbefolkningen end at anlægge vejen. Snart spejler de to mænds konfliktfyldte forhold det borgerkrigsramte land, og Paraden udfolder sig som en intens og dybfølt lignelse over vestlig indgriben i krigshærgede regioner.

THE NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER 'The mirror image of Eggers's brilliantly dystopian The Circle... [A] state of the nation novel, cleansing the spirit and lifting the heart' Guardian A hilarious and heart-warming misadventure through modern America: it's time for the family vacation...Josie's life is falling apart - lawsuits raining down, her business down the drain and a feckless husband long gone - so she gathers up her two kids and lights out for the wilderness. The Alaskan wilderness, to be specific.This is a story about the trip of a lifetime. It involves one battered old RV, one highly sensitive eight year old boy, one fearless and hyperactive five year old girl, several forest fires, a large supply of pinot noir, and a deeply misguided sense of optimism. It may well be that things don't turn out quite as Josie expected - but then again, some of the best places in the world are found at the end of a road you didn't mean to take...Heroes of the Frontier is an uproariously funny portrait of modern America and the modern family, an entirely contemporary novel gleaming with Dave Eggers' trademark intelligence and originality.

Da Mae bliver ansat i firmaet The Circle, det mest magtfulde internetselskab i verden, tror hun, at hun har fået sit livs chance. Hun er mere end begejstret, da hun bliver vist rundt i The Circles imposante kontorlandskaber af glas, campusområdet og kollegieværelserne for dem, der ender med aldrig at gå hjem. Hun er fascineret af firmaets dynamik, forført af den ultimative fællesskabsånd og visionen om, at alle er forbundne og online 24/7. Ikke engang da Maes liv uden for The Circle og forholdet til forældrene og ekskæresten Mercer svinder mere og mere ind, og Maes egen rolle i virksomheden bliver mere og mere….offentlig, aftager hendes begejstring. Det, der begynder som en fængslende historie om en ung idealistisk kvinde med ambitioner, forvandles til en højaktuel og tankevækkende thriller om personlig integritet og demokrati.

For få år siden blev Rubjerg Knude Fyr flyttet 70 meter ind i landet, hvilket er lidt af en bedrift – men historien har et noget ældre og mere spektakulært fortilfælde! I slutningen af 1800-tallet købte en rig englænder en sølvmine i Idaho, hvor han slog sig ned og byggede et vidunderligt palæ. Uheldigvis gik han hen og døde, og da enken, fru Miller, blev snydt af en grådig bankmand (de fandtes også dengang), måtte hun finde en måde at tjene penge – så hun blev svineavler. Men, men, men … naboerne var ikke glade for lugten (sådan var det også dengang), så Fru Miller måtte enten opgive sine grise eller flytte hele baduljen – inklusive det smukke palæ – til et nyt sted … 6 kilomenter udenfor byen! Og det gjorde hun!!!De de flyttede Millers Minnie Moore Mine Palæ er en sand historie om minejægere, præriehunde, grise, heste, viljestyrke, udholdenhed og dedikation! Snurrigt og smukt illustreret af Júlia Sardà, der også er internationalt kendt for sin egen Dronningen i grotten.

McSweeney's three-time National Magazine Award-winning quarterly returns with a subjective and selective group of manifestos, all from the twentieth century and onward, all roaring with outrage and plans for a better world. Featuring life- and history-changing works from André Breton, Bertrand Russell, Valerie Solanas, Huey Newton, John Lee Clark, Dadaists, Futurists, Communists, Personists, and many more past and future -ists, plus brand-new work from brilliant radical thinkers Eileen Myles and James Hannaham. Let this incendiary collection light your whole world on fire. From the introduction: We need manifestos. They are often strange, ill-considered, and regrettable. They are just as often brilliant and pivotal in changing government, art, and the direction of the human animal. But always manifestos are passionate, always they command attention and use language for perhaps its most urgent purposes--the rattling of complacent minds.
