AvAmélie Nothomb

Inbunden, Svenska, 2024

245 kr

Skickas

För att vara törstig måste man vara levande.

Jag har alltid vetat att jag skulle dömas till döden är första meningen i denna roman. Den som berättar är ingen mindre än Jesus, som har dömts till döden av Pontius Pilatus och sitter i en cell natten innan han ska avrättas.

Med sin underbara humor och intelligens leder Amélie Nothomb läsaren rakt in i Jesus huvud för att ta del av hans mest intima känslor och reflektioner över Gud och mänskligheten. Från rättegången där människor som Jesus utfört mirakel på vittnar emot honom till korsvandringen, korsfästelsen, uppståndelsen och dess framtida inverkan på världen delar Jesus med sig av sin kritik av Gud, sin kärlek till Maria Magdalena samt passar på att rätta till felaktiga redogörelser om honom i evangelierna.

Av de begär som Jesus filosoferar över intar törsten en särställning. För att vara törstig måste man vara levande och ha kropp, men det är endast när man dör av törst som ens sinnen skärpts till den grad att man kan bli en sann mystiker.

Den belgiska författaren Amélie Nothombs 28:e roman skakade delvis om det katolska Frankrike och höjdes till skyarna av den franska kritikerkåren. Törst var finalist till Prix Goncourt 2019.

Med oemotståndlig humor filosoferar Nothomb över kroppen, kärleken, njutningar, mänsklig otacksamhet, lidandet, hopp, tron och döden.

En dag av törst

AvGunnar Ardelius

Inbunden, Svenska, 2026

259 kr

André är ämnad för stora saker inom juridiken, om detta är alla överens. Men han är också dödligt förälskad i berusningen och skjuter sin akademiska karriär i sank innan den ens har börjat. Istället får han anställning som utredare på en grå myndighet för arbetsmarknadsfrågor, utan att ana att han samtidigt odlas som informatör för en hemlig organisation skapad av socialdemokratin för att spionera på vänsterelement.

”En dag av törst” är en fiktionaliserad skildring av den skandal som briserar 1973 under beteckningen IB-affären. Men framför allt är det en berättelse om vännerna André, Kaj och Magdalena. De drömmer om ett bättre samhälle, men deras triangeldrama utvecklas snart till ett politiskt och personligt svek, i en tid där ingenting är vad det ser ut att vara. En människa törstar alltid efter något större, man kan inte leva utan begäret och idealen. Men går det att leva med dem?

Del 11 - Harry Hole

Törst

AvJo Nesbø

Pocket, Svenska, 2017

90 kr

Törst är den intensiva elfte delen i Jo Nesbøs internationella succéserie om Harry Hole – nu aktuell som Netflix-serie.

En person hittas brutalt mördad i sitt hem. Kroppen är tömd på blod. På halsen syns tydliga bitmärken.

Är det en makaber iscensättning – eller handlar det om vampyrism, det djupt kontroversiella begreppet inom psykiatrin?

Den före detta utredaren Harry Hole övertalas att återvända för att bistå i fallet. Han vet, bättre än de flesta, vad människor är kapabla till. Flera av kriminalhistoriens mest fruktade seriemördare har dessutom haft just vampyrism som diagnos.

Men Harry drivs inte enbart av plikt. Han har ett eget skäl att säga ja – en man som en gång undkom rättvisan.

När jakten tar fart väcks hans rovdjursinstinkt till liv igen. Och ännu en gång tvingas Harry betala priset. I jakten på den gäckande mördaren offrar han något av sig själv.

Alkoholen, kändisarna och kärleken hur långt kan man gå för att bli älskad?

Från den hånade majspipan med tobak på skolavslutningen i mellanstadiet till Manilla-fyllan som blev en rikssnackis, och flickvännen Cecilias ultimatum: om du inte kan hantera alkoholen lämnar jag dig.

Kristoffer har bränt relationer så länge han kan minnas. I jakten på att bli älskad har han sprungit ifrån dem som betytt mest, och stoppat i sig alldeles för mycket av allt sånt som andra vet att akta sig för. I takt med att karriären gått uppför har hålet i hans hjärta blivit djupare. Ställd inför utsikten att ännu en gång förlora allt tar han till dagboken för att komma underfund med sig själv och sitt förhållande till alkohol och kärlek.

TÖRST är en självbiografisk roman om kärlek, alkohol och att försöka vända livet. Det är en hissnande uppriktig, dråplig, gripande och gränslös behind the scene. Mannen som är känd för att komma under huden på Sveriges kändiselit har satt sig själv i intervjustolen, och han väjer inte för några frågor.

KRISTOFFER TRIUMF blev Sveriges mest lyssnade röst när han slog igenom med Värvet 2011. Innan det hade han haft storslagna framgångar med bland andra Absolut Vodka och Filip & Fredrik. Sedan dess har han debuterat som ståuppkomiker, nominerats till stora journalistpriset och nu senast lanserat den populära podden Tack för maten, en cookalong med Siri Barje.

"Rörande, hemskt och roligt om kärlek, alkohol och livet. Kristoffer kan verkligen skriva."Johar Bendjelloul

"Spännande och självultämnande och så många fina formuleringar därtill."David Sundin

Frantisek Drtikol: Portraits

Häftad, Engelska, 2007

255 kr

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Though he is best known for his Art Nouveau and Art Deco nudes, when Frantisek Drtikol (1883-1961) passed way, he left more portrait photography than anything else--thousands of images made between 1910 and the 1930s. This ambitious book is the first ever devoted to those portraits alone. The selection, culled from some 2,000 in Prague's National Archive, presents a gallery of eminent Czechs and Slovaks during the first Czechoslovak Republic, as well as prominent visitors to the country from many walks of life. Apart from their pure documentary value, these images reflect Drtikol's efforts to capture his sitters' inner selves, bridging idealism and materialism. The artist has also been the subject of The Photographer Frantisek Drtikol and Photographs by Frantisek Drtikol; this volume is compiled and written by Josef Moucha.

Alexandr Hackenschmied

Häftad, Engelska, 2001

Tillfälligt slut

Born in 1907, Alexandr Hackenschmied is one of the founders of modern Czech photography and film. He is better known here as Sasha Hammid, the name he took upon becoming a United States citizen in 1947, having fled Nazi persecution in his native Czechoslovakia in 1939. Since then he and his wife, Maya Deren, have played a key role in American avant-garde film. Both by himself and in collaboration with other artists, Hackenschmied made a number of important documentaries--including the 1964 film To Be Alive!, made with Francis Thompson, which was awarded an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1967. His photographic work, though less well known here, is equally worthy of praise. In it we see his dynamic conception of space--honed with years of experience as a cameraman and editor--and the combination of formal perfection with deep emotional resonance, the meeting of the artist's mind with the mind of the audience.

Though Alfons Mucha, known as Alphonse Mucha, (1860-1939) achieved lasting international acclaim as an Art Nouveau painter, graphic designer and decorator, his photography is not as well known. In this new, expanded edition produced in cooperation with the Mucha Trust, an intimate and accomplished photographer is revealed. A kind of sketchbook and personal visual diary, this record of captured moments from the mid-1880s until the end of the artist's life illuminates both Mucha's career as an artist and the time in which he lived. In addition, the behind-the-scenes glimpses of his studio prove that Mucha--a key creator of the ideal of Art Nouveau beauty--was one of the pioneers of the classic nude in Czech photography. For lay readers and photographic connoisseurs alike, this volume illuminates a unique and powerful artistic vision.

The oeuvre of the leading Czech avant-garde photographer Eugen Wiskovsky (1888-1964) is not large in size or subject range, but it is noteworthy in its originality, depth of ideas, and mastery. Wiskovsky's early New Objectivist works, from the late 1920s and early 1930s, sought artistic effect in apparently nonaesthetic objects: His inventive lighting and cropping allowed their elementary lines to stand out, to lose their worldly associations and take on potential metaphorical meanings. In his dynamic diagonal compositions, Wiskovsky was among the most radical practitioners of Czech Constructivism. His landscape work is similarly distinctive. With text from Vladim'r Birgus, a historian of photography and the head of the Institute of Creative Photography at Silesian University, Opava, in the Czech Republic.

On top of his day job--he was co-owner of a tannery in the Bohemian-Moravian Uplands of Czechoslovakia--Josef Binko (1879-1960) made time to create one of the most important photography portfolios of his era. He is the only amateur photographer with thousands of negatives in Prague's Museum of Decorative Arts, the country's most serious photography collection, and the only Czech photographer continuously represented at the National Technical Museum, Prague: his darkroom is part of a permanent exhibition on the history of photographic technology. He is one of only two Czech photographers whose brome oil and gum bichromate prints from the period before the First World War are known to have survived in the hundreds. Binko, until recently little known, has now come to be understood as a major contributor to the early years of his media.

This survey of Iren Stehli's images from 1973 to 2001 captures Czech life over an intense three decades. The artist, born in Zurich in 1953, studied photography in Prague in the mid-70s. In the late 60s, her adopted country had begun to stir under the hand of communism--and been punished for it. By the middle of her career, in 1989, the embattled communist government resigned, passing power to playwright Vaclav Havel in the Velvet Revolution. The swift changes that followed have brought what is now the Czech Republic into the European Union. Stehli's human stories of that era alternate with conceptual series, both of which share a characteristic poetry and humor. The thematically arranged chapters of Iren Stehli offer a compact overview of her oeuvre, and subtle, compelling testimony to the last decades of Czechoslovakian socialism and the transformation into a free-market democracy. Her previous book is Libuna: A Gypsy's Life in Prague.

Tillfälligt slut

The work of the legendary late photographer and samizdat publisher Bohumil "Bob" Krcil, who was born in 1952, is little known in his native country. He left Czechoslovakia in 1969, and for the next 23 years, traveled extensively through much of Europe and Asia, photographing what he encountered. He had a knack for being in the right place at the right time: He captured the Afghan city of Herat before the Soviet invasion, the hashish culture of the Indian part of the Himalayas and New York, where he eventually settled on the Lower East Side, in the 1980s, in a straightforward, documentary style. Of his New York work, The Prague Post wrote, "Like his work from other points across the globe, the photos of New York mostly capture people on the streets or in shops, all of whom seem to radiate the special energy of the city. Even his cityscapes without people are full of life. The best photo from this series is "The Twins in the Wind" (1983), showing the towers of the World Trade Center rising above a mound of earth and utterly isolated against the sky, almost as if they were alone in a desert, touching the clouds." Like his prominent friends, photographers Josef Koudelka and Antonín Kratochvíl, Krcil lived and worked in exile. He is remembered for his innate openness, tolerance and amiability--traits that made him a natural traveler. This publication includes an essay by Jitka Hlavackova, an art historian at Prague City Gallery.
