Flaskan - Hjälten från Vätterns djup tar dig med på en fängslande resa genom ett Sverige i förändring, där vi följer en oväntad hjälte: en grön 33 cl returflaska, född i sjuttiotalets början. Från den omtumlande födelsen på glasbruket till en rad olika hem och miljöer, blir Flaskan ett tyst vittne till människors liv – deras glädje och sorg, drömmar och besvikelser. Varje möte, oavsett hur kortvarigt, lämnar ett bestående avtryck. Flaskan bär med sig deras berättelser och förvandlas till en katalysator för förändring och reflektion, spridandes en gnista av positiv energi som påverkar alla den möter. Genom dessa möten får vi se hur livets utmaningar – stora som små – formar oss som människor, och hur hopp och styrka kan hittas även i de mest oväntade situationer. Flaskan - Hjälten från Vätterns djup är en kärleksfull hyllning till livets skörhet och kraft. Den bjuder på en oförglömlig läsarupplevelse fylld av både nostalgi och insikt – en berättelse som kommer att stanna kvar hos dig långt efter att sista sidan är läst.

A tragic tale of romance, oppression, and depraved nobility in seventeenth-century England by the author of LesMisérables.   First published in 1869, The Man Who Laughs is an impassioned plea for recognition of the humanity of society’s outcasts and an indictment of the callous crimes of the aristocracy. It tells the story of Gwynplaine, a boy whose face was disfigured by order of the king into a ghastly, permanent smile. Outcast and homeless, Gwynplaine finds refuge with travelling carnival merchant Ursus and falls in love with a blind orphan girl named Dea.   One day while performing a popular carnival routine, Gwynplaine captures the attention of bored and jaded Duchess Josiana. Used as a pawn by an agent of the royal court, Gwynplaine’s true identity and noble parentage is soon revealed. But when he is reinstated as a member of the aristocracy, Gwynplaine makes visible the monstrosity of the upper classes

Poor George has just about had it with the publishing world, lunches, infidelities and a lifetime of a right bunch of comedian wannabes whose utter tosh (think sports biogs by 'celebrities') he's practically (OMG, 'practically' is as bad as 'literally'' and 'like'... and 'totally') had to rewrite. What if he's bothered to sit down and produce his own oeuvre. A proper book! And what if it is a kiss 'n' tell? If it's true?How would he get it published? While he's looking for a way, one of his stocking-fillers gets caught up in a bidding war, which ought to be good news for him. But really isn't. Move over Spitting Image, Private Eye and... Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift. Any character who pitches from Mr Grylls's pen across his pages is at risk of being skewered. In the nicest possible way. An exquisitely written, erudite and hilarious satire in the finest vintage tradition.

Der Glöckner von Notre-Dame ist einer der berühmtesten historischen Romane der Weltliteratur. Im Mittelpunkt steht die aufwändig geschilderte Kathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris. In ihr spielen die wichtigsten Teile der Romanhandlung, vor allem das Geschehen um die Gestalt des Quasimodo, des Glöckners von Notre-Dame. Der Roman beinhaltet mehrere Handlungsstränge, die nach und nach ineinanderfließen und ein buntes und vielseitiges Bild des französischen Spätmittelalters mit all seinen Bevölkerungsschichten zeichnen. Die Geschichte vom missgestalteten Glöckner Quasimodo, der sich in die schöne Zigeunerin Esmeralda verliebt, ist - obgleich sie meist als interessant genug angesehen wurde, um ihn zur Haupthandlung einer Vielzahl von Verfilmungen zu machen - nur einer dieser Stränge.

From the author of Reinhardt's Garden and Saint Sebastian's Abyss comes a breathless new novel of delirious obsession.Bereft after the death of his ailing wife, a retired professor has resumed his life's work—a book that will stand as a towering cathedral to Michel de Montaigne, reframing the inventor of the essay for the modern age. The challenge is the litany of intrusions that bar his way—from memories of his past to the nattering of smartphones to his son's relentless desire to make an electronic dance album.As he sifts through the contents of his desk, his thoughts pulsing and receding in a haze of caffeine, ghosts and grievances spill out across the page. From the community college where he toiled in vain to an artists' colony in the Berkshires, from the endless pleasures of coffee to the finer points of Holocaust art, the professor's memories churn with sculptors, poets, painters, and inventors, all obsessed with escaping both mediocrity and themselves.Laced with humor as acrid as it is absurd, Lesser Ruins is a spiraling meditation on ambition, grief, and humanity's ecstatic, agonizing search for meaning through art.
