Succéförfattaren David Nicholls, författaren till fenomenet En dag, är tillbaka med en ny spektakulär kärleksroman!
Michael är ensam. Förtvivlad efter att hans fru lämnat honom har han börjat ta långa promenader på den engelska landsbygden, allt för att undvika sitt tomma, ekande hem.
Marnie, å sin sida, lever ett liv satt på paus. Hon gömmer sig i lägenheten i London, undviker vännerna och allt som påminner om hennes usla, själviska ex. Allteftersom dagarna går börjar det kännas som att livet fortsätter därute utan henne.
När en gemensam vän, och ett mycket oberäkneligt väder, för ihop Marnie och Michael på en episk tiodagarsvandring i en spektakulär miljö kan ingen av dem känna annat än panik. Tills de upptäcker hur mycket de faktiskt har gemensamt. Kanske finns det hopp för dem båda – så länge de överlever turen …
Du är här är en bitterljuv och hoppfull berättelse om första möten, andra chanser och om att hitta vägen hem. Det är också romanen som David Nicholls kallar "min roligaste bok hittills".

Sextonåriga Charlie Lewis är den sortens kille som man inte minns från skolfotot. Högstadiet är slut och sommaren ligger lång och öde framför honom, och vad ska hända sedan? Betygen lämnar en del övrigt att önska, och om Charlie alls tänker på framtiden så är det med bävan. Hemma tar han hand om sin pappa, när det väl borde vara tvärtom? Hans mamma tog med sig Charlies lillasyster och lämnade familjen, och Charlie vet inte om han kan förlåta henne för att han inte fick följa med. Sedan exploderar Fran Fisher in i hans liv och även om det är otänkbart, börjar Charlie mot sin vilja att hoppas.
Men om Charlie vill vara med Fran, måste han acceptera en utmaning som kommer att få hans vänner att tappa all respekt för honom, och som nästan kräver att han ska bli en annan person. Han måste gå med i Sällskapet. Och om Sällskapet låter som en sekt, är sanningen ännu värre: priset Charlie måste betala för att hålla liv i hoppet är inget mindre än Shakespeare. Teatersällskapet som varje år sätter upp en av bardens pjäser, har i år valt Romeo och Julia. Fran spelar naturligtvis Julia, men Charlie är så långt ifrån en Romeo man kan komma. Ska han kunna kliva ur sin arbetarklassbakgrund, sitt begränsande kompisgäng och sitt eget obekväma skinn och våga blomma, under denna enda magiska sommar?
Bitterljuva dagar är en bok om att navigera den steniga stigen mot vuxenlivet, en lovsång till familjelivets tragiska komik, en hyllning till vänskapens djupa, upplyftande kraft och den första kärlekens korta, brännande explosion. David Nicholls slog igenom med En dag och hans böcker har sålt i 300 000 ex i Sverige.

Though Sweet Sorrow is certainly pulse-quickening enough to absorb readers through this summer's airport delays and rained-off beach days, it's no escapist fantasy. The tale of Charlie and Fran will linger long beyond your tan.' Telegraph One life-changing summer Charlie meets Fran... In 1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread. Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope. But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling. The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.

Now a PBS Masterpiece television miniseries starring Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves
“I loved this book. Funny, sad, tender: for anyone who wants to know what happens after the Happy Ever After.â€â€”Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You
David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his New York Times bestseller, One Day, to a compellingly human, deftly funny novel about what holds marriages and families together—and what happens, and what we learn about ourselves, when everything threatens to fall apart.
Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that, against all odds, seduces beautiful Connie into a second date . . . and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades after their relationship first blossomed in London, they live more or less happily in the suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce.
The timing couldn’t be worse. Hoping to encourage her son’s artistic interests, Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world’s greatest works of art as a family, and she can’t bring herself to cancel. And maybe going ahead with the original plan is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie.
Narrated from Douglas’s endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who’s always felt like a stranger. Itis a moving meditation on the demands of marriage and parenthood, the regrets of abandoning youth for middle age, and the intricate relationship between the heart and the head.

`Religion and politics are necessarily related', declared Ronald Reagan, while addressing an ecumenical prayer breakfast of 17,000 people in Dallas. But how are they connected? Many popular images of God - King, Lord, and Judge - are essentially political, while concepts of might, majesty, dominion, and power are used of both God and the state.This ambitious and original work explores the relations between these images and their political context through the analogy between divine and civil government, and considers what images of God may legitimately be employed by Christians in the twentieth century. David Nicholls suggests that religious conceptions have often affected political thinking - theological rhetoric, child of political experience, may also be mother of political change.Drawing upon politics, theology, history, sociology, anthropology, and literary criticism, this important new book will be essential reading for all concerned with the relation between Christianity and politics. - Häftad, Engelska, 1993

In this companion volume to Deity and Domination, David Nicholls broadens his examination of the relationship between religion and politics. Focusing on the images and concepts of God and the state predominant in eighteenth-century discourse, he shows how these were interrelated and reflect the language of the wider cultural contexts.Nicholls argues that the way a community pictures God will inevitably reflect (and also affect) its general understanding of authority, whether it be in state, in family or in other social institutions. Much language about God, for example, has a primarily political reference: in psalms, hymns and sermons God is called king, judge, lord, ruler and to him are ascribed might, majesty, dominion, power and sovereignty. But if political rhetoric is frequently incorporated into religious discourse, the reverse is also true: many key concepts of modern political theory are secularised theological concepts. In his consideration of this important and neglected relationship Nicholls sheds new light on religion and politics in the eighteenth century. - Häftad, Engelska, 1991

From the end of the nineteenth century a national musical consciousness gradually developed in the USA as composers began to turn away from the European conventions on which their music had hitherto been modelled. It was in this period of change that experimentation was born. In this book, the composer and scholar David Nicholls considers the most influential figures in the development of American experimental music, including Charles Ives, Charles Seeger, Ruth Crawford, Henry Cowell, and the young John Cage. He analyses the music and ideas of this group, explaining the compositional techniques invented and employed by them and the historical and cultural context in which they emerged. - Inbunden, Engelska, 1998

The Cambridge History of American Music, first published in 1998, celebrates the richness of America's musical life. It was the first study of music in the United States to be written by a team of scholars. American music is an intricate tapestry of many cultures, and the History reveals this wide array of influences from Native, European, African, Asian, and other sources. The History begins with a survey of the music of Native Americans and then explores the social, historical, and cultural events of musical life in the period until 1900. Other contributors examine the growth and influence of popular musics, including film and stage music, jazz, rock, and immigrant, folk, and regional musics. The volume also includes valuable chapters on twentieth-century art music, including the experimental, serial, and tonal traditions. - Häftad, Engelska, 2004

John Cage (1912-1992) was without doubt one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth-century music. Pupil of Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, Marcel Duchamp, and Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, among others, he spent much of his career in pursuit of an unusual goal: 'giving up control so that sounds can be sounds', as he put it. This book celebrates the richness and diversity of Cage's achievements - the development of the prepared piano and of the percussion orchestra, the adoption of chance and of indeterminacy, the employment of electronic resources and of graphic notation, and the questioning of the most fundamental tenets of Western art music. Besides composing around 300 works, he was also a prolific performer, writer, poet, and visual artist. Written by a team of experts, this Companion discusses Cage's background, his work, and its performance and reception, providing in sum a fully rounded portrait of a fascinating figure. - Häftad, Engelska, 1996

First published in 1967, Church and State in Britain Since 1820 is a selection of documents on the problems of church-state relations in Britain since the time of Coleridge. There is a full introduction in which the editor discusses a few of the problems raised by the pluralist solution of a ‘free church in a free state’. He shows, for example, how the American pattern of a state studiously indifferent to the claims of religious bodies within it poses problems of a theoretical nature in addition to the well-known practical ones.The documents themselves include passages from theoretical works on church and state, by writers such as Coleridge, Thomas Arnold, W.E. Gladstone, and T.S. Elliot. The concrete problems of the period are represented by extracts from speeches and pamphlets: speeches by Gladstone on Scottish disestablishment, by Llyod George and Asquith on Welsh disestablishment, and pamphlets of the Liberation Society, give something of the flavour of the church-state debate as it proceeded on the popular level. There are two appendices, one dealing with ‘crime and sin’, the other including extracts from papal encyclicals on the subject of church-state relations.
