NOBELPRISET I LITTERATUR 2018
Det är vinternatt och snön faller tät. Janina Duszejkos hus är ett av få bebodda i den lilla byn på den polska landsbygden. Tidigare arbetade Janina som lärare, numera ägnar hon dagarna åt att översätta William Blake, studera astrologi och se om välbärgade Warszawabors sommarställen. Hon betraktas som en ensling, som föredrar rådjurens och vildsvinens sällskap framför människornas.
Den här natten inträffar den första av en rad allt märkligare händelser i Janinas avlägsna hörn av världen. Grannen Storfot hittas död. Snart följer fler offer. Den lokala polisen famlar, och Janina inser att hon måste ta utredningen i egna händer. Bara hon verkar kunna tyda spåren.
"Styr din plog över de dödas ben" är en mörk sagoliknande thriller som utforskar människans förhållande till naturen, och utmanar föreställningar om rättsskipning, ödestro, förnuft och vansinne.

With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she’s unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by ‘one of Europe’s major humanist writers’ (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination – and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk’s native Poland.

Jagberättaren i Olga Tokarczuks novell ”Spel på många små trummor” är nyinflyttad i en myllrande, undanglidande storstad. För att bryta mot vardagens enformighet söker hon sig till en grupp trumspelande udda existenser i en husvagnspark. Här börjar hennes konturer bli lika suddiga som stadens och hon upptäcker att hon utan motstånd kan glida in i och ut ur olika identiteter. Hon är en partytjej eller en hemlös kvinna, en ung kille i baseballkeps eller en utländsk affärsman som dricksar frikostigt och följer börsnoteringarna på teven på hotellrummet.
De 21 novellerna i "Spel på många små trummor" bildar en kör av egensinniga röster som lyser av berättarkraft. Det handlar om saga och verklighet, storstad och landsbygd, och att förlora och hitta sig själv.

Before long, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again, converts to Islam and then Catholicism, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order, Jewish and Christian alike, with scandalous rumors of his sect’s secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story of Frank—a real historical figure around whom mystery and controversy swirl to this day—is the perfect canvas for the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. Narrated through the perspectives of his contemporaries—those who revere him, those who revile him, the friend who betrays him, the lone woman who sees him for what he is—The Books of Jacob captures a world on the cusp of precipitous change, searching for certainty and longing for transcendence.In a nod to books written in Hebrew, The Books of Jacob is paginated in reverse, beginning on p. 955 and ending on p. 1 – but read traditionally, front cover to back.

A Health Resort Horror Story
AvOlga Tokarczuk
Häftad, Engelska, 2024
194 kr
In September 1913, a young Pole suffering from tuberculosis arrives at Wilhelm Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen, a health resort in the Silesian mountains. Every evening the residents gather to imbibe the hallucinogenic local liqueur and debate the great issues of the day: monarchy or democracy? Do devils exist? Are women born inferior? War or peace? Meanwhile, disturbing things are happening in the guesthouse and the surrounding hills. Someone – or something – seems to be watching, attempting to infiltrate this cloistered world. Little does the newcomer realize, as he tries to unravel both the truths within himself and the mystery of the sinister forces beyond, that they have already chosen their next target. A century after the publication of The Magic Mountain, Olga Tokarczuk revisits Thomas Mann territory and lays claim to it, blending horror story, comedy, folklore and feminist parable with brilliant storytelling.

Professorn insåg att han, där han satt böjd över kvinnan, skulle kunna framstå som någon i färd med att ta livet av henne. Han försökte därför komma på fötter och ta sig därifrån, men fick en knuff och föll framstupa ner i den mörka blodpölen. Att vara på fel plats vid fel tidpunkt kan få ödesdigra konsekvenser. Den oskyldige kan mistas för skyldig, den uppburne falla hela vägen ner till samhällets botten.
I novellen En sann historia skildrar den polska Nobelpristagaren Olga Tokarczuk hur ett missförstånd kan få oanade följder och hur snabbt en människa kan förlora kontrollen över sin egen historia. i översättning av Jan Henrik Swahn.

”Löparna” är en roman om att befinna sig i ständig rörelse. Men också om att till varje pris bjuda motstånd – att bromsa och bevara.
Frédéric Chopins syster smugglar hans konserverade hjärta över gränsen till Polen. En kvinna flyger över halva jordklotet med uppdraget att barmhärtighetsmörda sin dödssjuka tonårskärlek. En man sjunker långsamt ned i galenskap efter att hans fru och barn mystiskt försvunnit under en semesterresa, för att sedan lika mystiskt dyka upp igen. Den ryska sekten Löparna förkunnar att vägen till frälsning ligger i att aldrig slå sig till ro.
Episoder och fragment avlöser varandra i en lekfull och originell romantext som rör sig fritt genom tid och rum. Det handlar om resande och migration, liv och död, och den mänskliga kroppens förfall och bevarande.

"Med en underbar förmåga att besjäla och befolka platsen och ett precist och humoristiskt språk, vackert översatt av Jan Henrik Swahn, är 'Empusion' både en läsglädje och en varningsklocka." Dagens Nyheter
I september 1913 anländer Mieczysław Wojnicz, student från polska Lwów (numera Lviv i Ukraina), till det berömda sanatoriet Görbersdorf vid foten av bergen i nedre Schlesien. Han bär ett hopp om att de banbrytande behandlingarna och den kristallklara luften ska lindra – eller till och med bota – tuberkulosen som plågar honom. De andra patienterna på Herrpensionatet – lungsjuka män från Wien, Königsberg, Breslau och Berlin – dras till Mieczysław, och han tillbringar dagarna med att lyssna till deras outtröttliga diskussioner om de mest pressande världsfrågorna. Kommer krig att bryta ut i Europa? Är monarki eller demokrati att föredra? Existerar djävlar och demoner? Ofelbart rör sig samtalen mot samma svårgreppbara väsen: kvinnan. Bör man betrakta henne som ett fullvärdigt subjekt, eller kan hennes existens enbart förstås genom mannens?
Men Mieczysławs tankar upptas också av annat. Han har svårt att släppa de märkliga historier han fått berättat för sig, om otäcka händelser som ska ha inträffat i höglandet som kringgärdar sanatoriet. Vilken skepnad har ondskan som ruvar därute?
"En av de verkligt intressanta författarna i dagens Europa."

Set in the mythical Polish village of Primeval, a microcosm of the world populated with eccentric, archetypal characters and guarded by four archangels, this novel from Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk chronicles the lives of the inhabitants over the course of the feral 20th century in prose that is forceful, direct, and the stylistic cousin of the magic realism in Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Told in short bursts of "Time," the narrative takes the form of a stylized fable, an epic allegory about the inexorable grind of time and the clash between modernity (the masculine) and nature (the feminine) in which Poland's tortured political history from 1914 to the contemporary era and the episodic brutality visited on ordinary village life is played out. A novel of universal dimension that does not dwell on the parochial, Primeval and Other Times was hailed as a contemporary European classic and heralded Tokarczuk as one of the leading voices in Polish as well as world literature.

A woman settles in a remote Polish village. It has few inhabitants, but it teems with the stories of its living and its dead. There’s the drunk Marek Marek, who discovers that he shares his body with a bird, and Franz Frost, whose nightmares come to him from a newly discovered planet. There’s the man whose death – with one leg on the Polish side, one on the Czech – was an international incident. And there are the Germans who still haunt a region that not long ago they called their own. From the founding of the town to the lives of its saints, these shards piece together not only a history but a cosmology. Another brilliant ‘constellation novel’ in the mode of her International Booker Prize-winning Flights, House of Day, House of Night is a brilliantly imaginative epic novel of a small place by Olga Tokarczuk, one of the most daring and ambitious novelists of our time.

For the denizens of mythical Primeval, its fields and forests bounded by two rivers, the world beyond is nothing more than a dream. Yet their stories – or Times – are a microcosm of the tumultuous recent history of the world. The fortunes of the family of Michal the miller, whom conscription carries away in 1914, punctuate nearly a century of war and occupation. The outcast Cornspike raises her daughter among the creatures and spirits of the forest. The squire Popielski loses his faith and becomes obsessed with a game where progress is attained only by dreaming the right kind of dream. Non-human beings – trees and mushrooms and archangels – have their Times too, as do inanimate objects, which may be ‘more important for the world than people’. Alongside bloodshed and betrayal, the dramas of Primeval’s daily life mark the birth, life and decline of its little world and Time, making us consider afresh the stories that help us comprehend and navigate our own. Rich with the capaciousness and innovation that have brought Olga Tokarczuk to sustained international fame, Primeval and Other Times is an enduring masterpiece by one of Europe’s most inventive novelists.

Before long, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires, throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again, converts to Islam and then Catholicism, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order, Jewish and Christian alike, with scandalous rumours of his sect’s secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs.

Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin’s heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.
