Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that “can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist” (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets—and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman’s life shines through in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates.

NYÖVERSÄTTNING
Det råder mörk höst i 1880-talets London när det kommer till advokat Gabriel John Uttersons kännedom att en av hans mest respektabla klienter, doktor Henry Jekyll, upprättat ett nytt testamente. I testamentet tillkännager doktor Jekyll att alla hans ägodelar, i händelse av hans död eller försvinnande, ska tillfalla en viss mr Edward Hyde. Samma mr Hyde som av Uttersons kamrat, mr Richard Enfield, setts misshandla en främling, en liten flicka, ute på gatan. Advokat Utterson fruktar att mr Hyde, en helt uppenbart genomvidrig person, på något vis tvingat den gode Jekyll att skriva över sina ägodelar på honom. En orolig advokat Utterson bestämmer sig för att söka upp doktor Jekyll och be denne om en förklaring. Förklaringen till Jekylls handlande, som långsamt uppenbarar sig är diabolisk, mer fruktansvärd än Utterson någonsin kunnat föreställa sig.
Dr Jekyll och mr Hyde är romanen som blev Robert Louis Stevensons (1850–1894) definitiva genombrott som författare. Det är en ryslig berättelse, en allegori som förebådar Freuds teorier, blottlägger varje ny läsares egna mörka sidor samtidigt som denne bjuds på världslitteraturens mest chockerande twist.
I ny svensk översättning av Carl Ahlstrand.

På spårvagnen i Göteborg slår sig Horace Engdahl i slang med David Hume, en skotsk filosof som avled 1776. Deras samtal fortsätter genom hela boken, men avbryts av essäer om olika ämnen som aktualiseras av meningsutbytet i spårvagnen: 1700-talets salongsvärdinnor, Rousseaus paranoia, lyxens idéhistoria och mycket annat. Under alltsammans ligger frågan: Finns det något sådant som gott och ont?

Mr Ett
Pocket, Svenska, 2023
99 kr
»Det bästa jag har läst av Jens Lapidus […] Berättelsen är mer Gudfadern än Tarantino […]. Det är inte bara snygg action, utan en gigantisk sorg över såväl individernas öden som en värld som till synes obönhörligt går mot undergång.« Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter
Gangsterbossen Isak är trött på att vara Mr Ett. Nu ska han sälja sina tillgångar och bli vit. I kulisserna väntar en ny kung – Kerim – på att ta över. Men när Isaks son försvinner under oklara omständigheter brinner dealen inne, och Isak måste tillbaka till gatan.
Teddy och Emelie är också trötta, men på varandra. Han blir aldrig en svenne, och hon vill inte att deras son ska växa upp med en far som inte kan hålla sig på rätt sida om lagen. Gradvis dras de in i maktkampen som uppstår efter Isaks abdikation.
Vem kommer att bli Mr Ett? Och vem hjälper honom, vem stoppar honom? Jens Lapidus nya roman är svart, skoningslös och suverän.
»Mr Ett är ett kraftprov, och ett lyckat sådant. […] håller dig i spänning ända in i kaklet.« Per-Axel Svensson, Borås Tidning
»Den är svart, rapp och skoningslös mot dramats karaktärer. Given läsning för den som följt med från början.« Per Åhlin, Sundsvalls Tidning
»Mr Ett är minst lika hårdkokt som de andra tre delarna i Teddy/Emily-serien men har ett djup i personporträtten som gör den till en av Lapidus bästa på länge.« Gunilla Wedding, Skånska Dagbladet
»Romanfigurerna känns trovärdiga och Jens Lapidus skriver skickligt om hur till synes ganska triviala händelser leder till skjutningar.« Kenth Jönsson, Ölandsbladet
»Jens Lapidus skriver initierat, i ett rasande tempo […] Boken är en given julklapp för Lapidus alla fans.« Mariestads-Tidningen

The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

Tom Ripley är en ung, framgångslysten man - föräldralös från fem års ålder och uppfostrad av en elak faster - som försöker lämna sitt förflutna bakom sig. Nyligen anländ till Manhattan möter han en välbärgad industriman som anlitar honom för att hämta hem hans playboy till son, Dickie Greenleaf, från en kringdrivande tillvaro i Italien.

Anders Wahlgren träffade den åttioårige Sven Markelius första gången 1969, i samband med uppförandet av Markelius sista byggnad Sverigehuset vid Kungsträdgården i Stockholm. De möttes sedan många gånger ute i villan i Kevinge mellan åren 1969 och 1972. Markelius kom från relativt enkla förhållanden. Pappan hade målerifirma och mamman syateljé i Stockholm. Efter arkitektexamen 1915 praktiserade han hos tidens kända arkitekter, som Ragnar Östberg, Stadshusets skapare. 1926 träffade han Alvar Aalto som kallade honom sin själsfrände , de blev vänner för livet och stöttade varandra. Markelius var en av de ledande arkitekterna på Stockholmsutställningen 1930 som la grunden för svensk modernt byggande och design, det vi kallar funktionalism . Markelius byggnader är både vackra och praktiska. Hans konserthus i Helsingborg, Kollektivhuset och egna funkisvillan i Nockeby blev snabbt världsberömda. Det innebar att han kunde ingå i den grupp kända arkitekter som ritade FN skrapan i New York och Unesco i Paris.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY BILL GATESIn this warm, insightful portrait of the Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, we see the wisdom, humour and curiosity of Richard Feynman through a series of conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton.Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman's life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism.Over a period of years, Feynman's conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.

One of Stevenson’s most famous and enduringly popular works, the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde describes the mysterious relationship between a respectable and affable doctor and his brutal associate. Set in the grimy streets of Victorian London, this tale of murder, split personality and obscure science, with its chilling final revelation, became an instant horror classic when it was first published in 1886, and has enthralled and terrified generations of readers ever since.This volume also contains seven other Gothic stories by Stevenson – such as ‘The Body Snatchers’, ‘Markheim’ and ‘Olalla’ – showcasing the author’s mastery of the horror genre and his interest in both the otherworldly and the strange ways the human brain can distort reality.
