»Kvinnan i leran är en spännande thrillerroman som gäckar läsarens nyfikenhet och avslöjar ett ondskefullt mörker i både samhällets topp- och bottenskikt.« Betyg: 4 av 5 - Teija Johanson, BTJ

»En tät och spännande thriller.« New York Journal of Books

Västra Frankrike, 1989: Tjugoåriga Lucie Martin sänks ner i en pittoresk sjö, livlös och med en plastpåse virad runt huvudet. Fjorton år senare: En värmebölja drar in över landsbygden, torkan dödar träd och buskar, och sjön förvandlas till en lergrop. I den hittar en fiskare Lucies kvarlevor. Kriminalteknikern Enzo Macleod sitter i sin eleganta Parisvåning och går igenom den knappa bevisföringen för det sjätte - och sista - kalla fall han utmanats att lösa. Den före detta hallicken Régis Blanc framstår som den uppenbara förövaren, han sitter redan inne för att ha mördat tre sexarbetare. Men han har ett vattentätt alibi, och Enzo anar att den verkliga förklaringen är mycket mer komplicerad. Vad han inte inser är att han är på väg att försätta både sig själv och sina närmaste i livsfara. I översättning av Åsa Brolin.

PETER MAY [f. 1951] är en flerfaldigt prisbelönt skotsk romanförfattare, bosatt i Frankrike, vars böcker sålt i över 12 miljoner exemplar världen över. Hans Lewis-trilogi om Edinburgh-polisen Fin Macleod har hyllats av kritikerna både internationellt och i Sverige, och har vunnit en rad priser.

Eeva-Liisa Manners poesi är på samma gång klarvaken och drömsk, eftertänksam och lekfull. Det är en poesi där yttre och inre landskap när som helst kan byta plats. Men det är också en poesi som oupphörligt söker dialog och där författare och filosofer från skilda tidsåldrar och kulturkretsar får komma till tals. Manners poesi har tidigare översatts i ett urval från 1963 och i olika antologier. Befria din kärlek ur leran rymmer dikter från den senare delen av författarskapet och inte minst den filosofiska långdikten ”De kromatiska nivåerna”, som kan föra tankarna till Göran Sonnevi och Gloria Gervitz. Med den här volymen får Manners djuplodande och nyansrika poesi en välkommen nyintroduktion på svenska.

Med händerna i leran porträtterar en mångfacetterad konstnär med ett djupt personligt språk och ett stort intresse för äldre kulturers keramik från hela världen. Utbildningen vid den ansedda Rhode Island School of Design i USA under 1960-talet gav Kerstin Danielsson ett fritt förhållningssätt till leran och en internationell orientering. Efter hemkonsten till Sverige etablerade hon sig som en av landets främsta keramiker. Love Jönsson har tittat på Kerstins egen samling av keramik och placerar in hennes produktion i ett större sammanhang. Lisbet Ahnoff reflekterar kring Kerstins formspråk och uttryck. Bokens redaktör, Theo Ågren skriver om Kerstins liv och livsmiljö samt om två traditionella bränningstekniker. Boken beskriver ett konstnärskap som präglades av ett lustfyllt förhållningssätt till hantverket och ett ständigt experimenterande med form och färg, men också av en stor sorg. "Med händerna i leran heter den mycket läsvärda och utsökt illustrerade bok som givits ut i samband med utställningen. Och det stämmer förstås på pricken: Kerstin Danielsson var rent faktiskt en jordnära person - men samtidigt en högst fantasirik och känslig person som förmådde lyfta de enkla vardagsformerna till rena konstobjekt med stark personlig utstrålning.

'Astonishingly beautiful... The best gay novel written by anyone of our generation' Harpers'A life changing read for me. Describes a New York that has completely disappeared and for which I longed - stuck in closed-on-Sunday's London' Rupert EverettYoung, divinely beautiful and tired of living a lie, Anthony Malone trades life as a seemingly straight, small town lawyer for the disco-lit decadence of New York's 1970's gay scene. Joining an unbridled world of dance parties, saunas, deserted parks and orgies - at its centre Malone befriends the flamboyant queen, Sutherland, who takes this new arrival under his preened wing.But for Malone, the endless city nights and Fire Island days, are close to burning out. It is love that Malone is longing for, and soon he will have to set himself free.First published in 1978, Dancer from the Dance is widely considered the greatest, most exciting novel of the post-Stonewall generation. Told with wit, eroticism and unashamed lyricism, it remains a heart-breaking love letter to New York's hedonistic past, and a testament to the brilliance of our passions as they burn brightest.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALAN HOLLINGHURST

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

This practice-based guide gives readers a comprehensive overview of the many issues related to adolescent substance use. The book illustrates the basic etiology and epidemiology of addiction, as well as the specific concerns surrounding prevention, assessment, intervention, and recovery when working with youths. The author makes a conscious effort to address topics central to the lives of youths and adolescents that are often overlooked in more general substance use books. This includes considerations of specific youth populations, and the influence of different youth environments from family and high school to college campuses. The book also provides a rare look at the long-term recovery process with information about community-based systems of care like alternative peer groups, and recovery mentorship programs.Holleran Steiker focuses on the lived experiences of adolescents. Theoretical frameworks and recent research findings are presented, but always within the context of working directly with youths and their families. She ultimately brings together personal, professional, and research perspectives to produce an honest and empirically sound volume that will appeal to both students and practitioners.

Shopping in Ancient Rome

The Retail Trade in the Late Republic and the Principate

Shopping in Ancient Rome provides the first comprehensive account of the retail network of this ancient city, an area of commerce that has been largely neglected in previous studies. Given the remarkable concentration of consumers in ancient Rome, the vast majority of which were entirely reliant on the market for survival, a functioning retail trade was vital to the survival of Rome in the late Republic and the Principate. In this volume Holleran provides the first systematic account of Rome's retail sector through a comprehensive analysis of the literary, legal, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence together with wide-ranging and innovative comparative studies of the distributive trades. Investigating the diverse means by which goods were sold to consumers in the city, and the critical relationship between retail and broader environmental factors, Holleran places Roman retail trade firmly within the wider context of its urban economy. In considering the roles played by shops, workshops, markets, fairs, auctions, street sellers, and ambulant vendors in the distribution of goods to the inhabitants of the city, the volume sheds new light on the experience of living in the ancient city and explores the retail trade of Rome in its totality.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

In Stagecraft in Euripides, first published in 1985, Professor Michael Halleran examines certain aspects of the dramaturgy of the most extensively preserved Attic tragedian.Although the ancient dramatic texts do not contain performance directions, they do imply stage actions. This work explores the ways Euripides utilises the latter to make a point: to underline some issue, to suggest a contrast, or to shift the focus of the drama. Specifically, Halleran investigates the rearrangement of characters on stage at the major structural junctures of the play: entrances and their announcements; preparation for and surprise in entrances; and dramatic connections between exits and entrances. Three plays from the same era – Herakles, Trojan Women and Ion – are discussed in greater detail to reveal the potential of this approach for illuminating Euripides’ ‘grammar of dramatic technique’. Stagecraft in Euripides will thus appeal to students of theatre and drama as well as classicists.

A rollicking parody of a timeless classic, Alienne transports Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid into the wacky world of outer space. The heroine, Alienne, is a spunky Martian teenager who boldly opposes the prevailing Martian attitude that human feelings and failings are signs of weakness. In fact, she secretly longs to be an Earthling herself and soon gets her wish, but only after promising her soul to the evil space witch, Earthsula. Alienne's quirky musical journey ultimately teaches all the space creatures (and their human audience) a valuable lesson about tolerance, empathy, and the merits of learning from one's mistakes.Featuring seven principal roles and five lead narrators, Alienne offers plenty of opportunity for actors of all abilities. With plenty of audience participation and goofy humor, this spaced-out adventure is ideal for young audiences and their families.

A fascinating account of the growing "Yes in My Backyard" urban movement The exorbitant costs of urban housing and the widening gap in income inequality are fueling a combative new movement in cities around the world. A growing number of influential activists aren’t waiting for new public housing to be built. Instead, they’re calling for more construction and denser cities in order to increase affordability. Yes to the City offers an in-depth look at the “Yes in My Backyard” (YIMBY) movement. From its origins in San Francisco to its current cadre of activists pushing for new apartment towers in places like Boulder, Austin, and London, Max Holleran explores how urban density, once maligned for its association with overpopulated slums, has become a rallying cry for millennial activists locked out of housing markets and unable to pay high rents.Holleran provides a detailed account of YIMBY activists campaigning for construction, new zoning rules, better public transit, and even candidates for local and state office. YIMBY groups draw together an unlikely coalition, from developers and real estate agents to environmentalists, and Holleran looks at the increasingly contentious battles between market-driven pragmatists and rent-control idealists. Arguing that advocates for more housing must carefully weigh their demands for supply with the continuing damage of gentrification, he shows that these individuals see high-density urbanism and walkable urban spaces as progressive statements about the kind of society they would like to create.Chronicling a major shift in housing activism during the past twenty years, Yes to the City considers how one movement has reframed conversations about urban growth.

The Routledge Handbook of Diet and Nutrition in the Roman World presents a comprehensive overview of the sources, issues and methodologies involved in the study of the Roman diet. The focus of the book is on the Mediterranean heartland from the second century BC to the third and fourth centuries AD. Life is impossible without food, but what people eat is not determined by biology alone, and this makes it a vital subject of social and historical study. The Handbook takes a multidisciplinary approach in which all kinds of sources and disciplines are combined to study the diet and nutrition of men, women and children in city and countryside in the Roman world. The chapters in this book are structured in five parts. Part I introduces the reader to the wide range of textual, material and bioarchaeological evidence concerning food and nutrition. Part II offers an overview of various kinds of food and drink, including cereals, pulses, olive oil, meat and fish, and the social setting of their consumption. Part III goes beyond the perspective of the Roman adult male by concentrating on women and children, on the cultures of Roman Egypt and Central Europe, as well as the Jews in Palestine and the impact of Christianity. Part IV provides a forum to three scholars to offer their thoughts on what physical anthropology contributes to our understanding of health, diet and (mal)nutrition. The final section puts food supply and its failure in the context of community and empire.

Freemasonry in the American Civil War

Häftad, Engelska, 2020

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

The first in-depth study of the Freemasons during the Civil WarOne of the enduring yet little examined themes in Civil War lore is the widespread belief that on the field of battle and afterward, members of Masonic lodges would give aid and comfort to wounded or captured enemy Masons, often at great personal sacrifice and danger. This work is a deeply researched examination of the recorded, practical effects of Freemasonry among Civil War participants on both sides.From first-person accounts culled from regimental histories, diaries, and letters, Michael A. Halleran has constructed an overview of 19th-century American freemasonry in general and Masonry in the armies of both North and South in particular, and provided telling examples of how Masonic brotherhood worked in practice. Halleran details the response of the fraternity to the crisis of secession and war, and examines acts of assistance to enemies on the battlefield and in POW camps.The author examines carefully the major Masonic stories from the Civil War, in particular the myth that Confederate Lewis A. Armistead made the Masonic sign of distress as he lay dying at the high-water mark of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg.
