Första boken om Tom Ripley i efterlängtad nyutgåva
»Den största kriminalförfattaren av alla.« The Times
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. Ripleys fascination för Dickies sorglösa livsstil stegras snart till besatthet när Dickies ambivalenta känslor för den charmiga, kreativa Marge väcker hans ursinne. Ripley påbörjar ett dödligt spel. Den talangfulle Mr Ripley [The Talented Mr Ripley, 1955] är en oförglömlig introduktion till Patricia Highsmiths berömda karaktär: den slipade Mr Ripley, som alltid lyckas undkomma rättvisan. Romanen har flera gånger adapterats för vita duken - mest känd är filmen från 1999 med Matt Damon i rollen som Tom Ripley. I översättning av Mårten Edlund.

High Conflict
Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out
AvAmanda Ripley

When we are baffled by the insanity of the “other side”—in our politics, at work, or at home—it’s because we aren’t seeing how the conflict itself has taken over.That’s what “high conflict” does. It’s the invisible hand of our time. And it’s different from the useful friction of healthy conflict. That’s good conflict, and it’s a necessary force that pushes us to be better people.High conflict is what happens when discord distills into a good-versus-evil kind of feud, the kind with an us and a them. In this state, the brain behaves differently. We feel increasingly certain of our own superiority, and everything we do to try to end the conflict, usually makes it worse. Eventually, we can start to mimic the behavior of our adversaries, harming what we hold most dear.In this “compulsively readable” (Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author) book, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates how good people get captured by high conflict—and how they break free.Our journey begins in California, where a world-renowned conflict expert struggles to extract himself from a political feud. Then we meet a Chicago gang leader who dedicates his life to a vendetta—only to realize, years later, that the story he’d told himself about the conflict was not quite true. Next, we travel to Colombia, to find out whether thousands of people can be nudged out of high conflict at scale. Finally, we return to America to see what happens when a group of liberal Manhattan Jews and conservative Michigan corrections officers choose to stay in each other’s homes in order to understand one another better, even as they continue to disagree.All these people, in dramatically different situations, were drawn into high conflict by similar forces, including conflict entrepreneurs, humiliation, and false binaries. But ultimately, all of them found ways to transform high conflict into good conflict, the kind that made them better people. They rehumanized and recategorized their opponents, and they revived curiosity and wonder, even as they continued to fight for what they knew was right.People do escape high conflict. Individuals—even entire communities—can short-circuit the feedback loops of outrage and blame, if they want to. This is an “insightful and enthralling” (The New York Times Book Review) book—and a mind-opening new way to think about conflict that will transform how we move through the world.

America has long compared its students to top-performing kids of other nations. But how do the world's education superpowers look through the eyes of an American high school student? Author Amanda Ripley follows three teenagers who chose to spend one school year living and learning in Finland, South Korea, and Poland. Through their adventures, Ripley discovers startling truths about how attitudes, parenting, and rigorous teaching have revolutionized these countries' education results. In The Smartest Kids in the World, Ripley's astonishing new insights reveal that top-performing countries have achieved greatness only in the past several decades; that the kids who live there are learning to think for themselves, partly through failing early and often; and that persistence, hard work, and resilience matter more to our children's life chances than self-esteem or sports. Ripley's investigative work seamlessly weaves narrative and research, providing in-depth analysis and gripping details that will keep you turning the pages. Written in a clear and engaging style, The Smartest Kids in the World will enliven public as well as dinner table debates over what makes for brighter and better students.

En het sommar. En plötslig mistral. Vad är egentligen vänskap? Och vad är egentligen sant?
Katja och Lou är bästa vänner. De möttes på teaterlinjen på Södra Latin, och medan Katja numera jobbar på ett ekologiskt kafé så har Lou blivit filmstjärna efter succén med storfilmen Babetta. En dag får Katja frågan om hon vill komma och tillbringa sommaren i ett sydfranskt chateau tillsammans med sin bästa vän. Hon blir inbjuden till ett slott, i vilket Lou bor tillsammans med en fransk filmlegend.
Trots att det är en värld som för Katja mer liknar fantasi än verklighet så återgår de till sin gamla relation där de delar allt, nästan som två syskon. Eller som två sidor av en och samma spegel? Snart dras nätet åt kring dem. Den ena märkvärdiga händelsen efter den andra uppdagas och sanning blir allt svårare att skilja från lögn - och kanske är deras vänskap till slut den sista pusselbiten i ett bisarrt och skrämmande skådespel?
Efter sitt stora genombrott med romanen Testamente återkommer nu Nina Wähä med en hyllning till filmkonsten med alla dess hjältar och skurkar. Babetta är en roman som bäst kan beskrivas som Persona möter Mr Ripley.

Tredje boken i serien om Mr Ripley »Den största kriminalförfattaren av alla.« The Times Tom Ripley befinner sig numera på gränsen till medelåldern och lever ett liv i lyx på sin franska lantegendom tillsammans med sin eleganta hustru. Han är inte längre den ständigt strävande, desperate unge mannen från Den talangfulle Mr Ripley. Han har pengar, trygghet och ett vackert hem – men han är också uttråkad. När han på en fest blir oartigt avsnäst av den lokale engelske rammakaren Jonathan Trevanny väcks en kylig idé. Trevanny är hederlig, fattig och dödssjuk i leukemi. Tom bestämmer sig för att sätta igång ett djävulskt psykologiskt experiment. Genom att spela på Trevannys dödsångest och desperation efter att lämna pengar till sin familj, drar Tom in honom i ett nät av internationell brottslighet och maffiamord. Men spelet visar sig snart farligare än Tom förutsett, och han tvingas själv kliva in i den livsfarliga leken. I översättning av Britte-Marie Bergström.

Three classic crime novels by a master of the macabre – The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, and Ripley's Game – appear here together in hardcover for the first time. Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral, Patricia Highsmith’s hero, the inimitable Tom Ripley, stops at nothing – not even murder – to accomplish his goals. In achieving the opulent life that he was denied as a child, Ripley shows himself to be a master of illusion and manipulation and a disturbingly sympathetic combination of genius and psychopath. Sent on a mission to Italy to coax an irresponsible young playboy back to his wealthy father in America, Ripley finds himself so fond of the young man that he sets out to be like him – exactly like him. The precarious charade that ensues is the first step to a life of elegance and ease – and perpetual danger. As she leads us through the mesmerizing tangle of Ripley’s deadly and sinister games, Highsmith turns the mystery genre inside out and takes us into the mind of a man utterly indifferent to evil.

It’s here, in the first volume of Patricia Highsmith’s five-book Ripley series, that we are introduced to the suave Tom Ripley, a young striver seeking to leave behind his past as an orphan bullied for being a “sissy.” Newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan, Ripley meets a wealthy industrialist who hires him to bring his playboy son, Dickie Greenleaf, back from gallivanting in Italy. Soon Ripley’s fascination with Dickie’s debonair lifestyle turns obsessive as he finds himself enraged by Dickie’s ambivalent affections for Marge, a charming American dilettante, and Ripley begins a deadly game. “Sinister and strangely alluring” (Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly) The Talented Mr. Ripley serves as an unforgettable introduction to this smooth confidence man, whose talent for self-invention is as unnerving—and unnervingly revealing of the American psyche—as ever.

Unlock the secrets of survival with this riveting expedition into the science of disaster—now revised and updated to address the pandemic, the role of social media in disaster response, and more—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World “The thinking person’s manual for getting out alive.”—NPR’s “Book Tour”“A must read . . . We need books like this to help us understand the world in which we live.”—Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and Fooled by RandomnessDisaster can come in many forms, from earthquakes and wildfires to pandemics and acts of terror. Afterward, when the dust settles and the survivors emerge, we can’t help but wonder: Why did they live when so many others perished?In The Unthinkable, prize-winning journalist Amanda Ripley, who has covered some of the most devastating disasters of our age, sets out to find the answers. To understand the human reaction to chaos and imminent danger, she turns to leading brain scientists, trauma psychologists, and other disaster experts—from a Holocaust survivor who studies heroism to a master gunfighter who learned to overcome extreme fear. Along the way, we learn about the perils of crowd psychology, the elegance of the brain’s fear circuits, how leaders can build trust quickly, and other invisible factors that can make the difference between death and survival.A fascinating combination of neuroscience, firsthand accounts, and thrilling investigative journalism, this book is for anyone who has ever wondered how they would respond in a life-and-death situation—or wanted to increase their odds of survival. This new edition updates all the original research and features timely material on enormous, slow-moving disasters such as pandemics and climate catastrophes. Most important, it reveals the brain’s ability to do much better—with a little help.
