Farfars store flugt - David Walliams - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

Farfars store flugt - David Walliams - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

Dette er historien om en dreng ved navn Jack og hans farfar. Engang var Jacks, farfar pilot i det engelske luftvåben Royal Air Force, også kaldet RAF. Under Anden Verdenskrig fløj han i et Spitfire-jagerfly. Historien foregår i 1983. Det var, før man havde internet og mobiltelefoner, og før man bare kunne sidde og spille computer i mange uger i træk. I 1983 var farfar allerede en gammel mand, men hans barnebarn Jack var kun tolv år gammel. Jacks farfar er blevet noget forvirret på sine gamle dage, og han går rundt og forestiller sig, at han er tilbage i Anden Verdenskrig, hvor han var en berømt Spitfire-pilot i det britiske flyvevåben. Farfar ender på plejehjemmet Tusmørketårnet, som bestyres af den onde Fru Svin, men da det går op for Jack, at farfar ikke trives på det nye sted, planlægger de en dristig og eventyrlig flugt. Men Fru Svin er lige i hælene på dem … Bagerst i bogen er der ordforklaring til den unge læser." “Bogen var virkelig sjov, og jeg grinede mens jeg sad og læste den. Jeg kunne godt forestille mig en sjov efterfølger - ligesom i Gangster Farmor” - Markus, 11 år

The Bromeliad Trilogy - Terry Pratchett - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

The Bromeliad Trilogy - Terry Pratchett - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

From the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, beloved and bestselling author of the Discworld fantasy series comes a comic and insightful trilogy about a race of four-inch-high heroes trying to make sense of a human-size world. In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember—or even believe in—life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett’s engaging trilogy traces the nomes’ flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams. Praise for the Bromeliad trilogy: “Witty, funny, wise, and altogether delightful.”— Locus Magazine Meet more of Sir Terry Pratchett’s tiny-but-fierce heroes in the Discworld novel The Wee Free Men !

Hvem forrådte Anne Frank - Rosemary Sullivan - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

Hvem forrådte Anne Frank - Rosemary Sullivan - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

Forskere har måske løst et af Anden Verdenskrigs store mysterier. Historiker og journalist Rosemary Sullivan følger et hold af efterforskere, ledet af en besat, pensioneret FBI-agent ved navn Vincent Pankoke, da de genoptager en af verdens mest skammeligt uopklarede sager: Hvem afslørede Anne Frank og hendes familie i Amsterdam i 1944? Og hvorfor? Mere end 30 millioner mennesker har læst historien om Anne Frank, den 13-årige pige, der skjulte sig sammen med sin familie i Amsterdam under 2. verdenskrig, blot for at blive opdaget af nazisterne og sendt i døden i en koncentrationslejr. Trods den megen journalistik og de bøger, teaterstykker og romaner, der er viet til emnet, så er der aldrig nogen, der endegyldigt har forklaret, hvordan familien Frank og fire andre personer formåede at leve i skjul uden at blive opdaget i over to år – eller hvem eller hvad der endeligt førte nazisterne til deres dør. Et hold efterforskere har med usvigelig omhu stirret ned i titusindvis siders dokumentation – hvoraf nogle aldrig tidligere har været fremvist – og interviewet snesevis af efterkommere fra folk, der – på den ene eller anden måde – var i forbindelse med familien Frank. Ved hjælp af nyudviklet DNA-teknologi og efterforskningsteknikker, der er udviklet af FBI, har teamet for uopklarede sager genskabt de dage og uger, der gik forud for arrestationen af familien Frank – og konklusionen er chokerende. Trods al den analyse, bogen indeholder, så er dens store bedrift, at den tager læseren med på en rejse tilbage til krigstidens Amsterdam, hvor vi for første gang får en forståelse af, hvordan det var at leve et sted, der var besat; et sted hvor du – uanset hvor rig, veluddannet eller forsigtig, du var – aldrig kunne vide, hvem du kunne stole på.

The Lost and Found Bookshop - Susan Wiggs - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

"A wonderful exploration of the past and the future and, most importantly, of what it means to be present in the here and now. Full of the love of words, the love of family, and the love of falling in love, The Lost and Found Bookshop is a big-hearted gem of a novel that will satisfy and entertain readers from all walks of life. Lovely!" —Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing In The Rain In this thought-provoking, wise and emotionally rich novel, New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs explores the meaning of happiness, trust, and faith in oneself as she asks the question, "If you had to start over, what would you do and who would you be?" There is a book for everything . . . Somewhere in the vast Library of the Universe, as Natalie thought of it, there was a book that embodied exactly the things she was worrying about. In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother’s charming but financially strapped bookshop in San Francisco. She also becomes caretaker for her ailing grandfather Andrew, her only living relative—not counting her scoundrel father. But the gruff, deeply kind Andrew has begun displaying signs of decline. Natalie thinks it’s best to move him to an assisted living facility to ensure the care he needs. To pay for it, she plans to close the bookstore and sell the derelict but valuable building on historic Perdita Street, which is in need of constant fixing. There’s only one problem–Grandpa Andrew owns the building and refuses to sell. Natalie adores her grandfather; she’ll do whatever it takes to make his final years happy. Besides, she loves the store and its books provide welcome solace for her overwhelming grief. After she moves into the small studio apartment above the shop, Natalie carries out her grandfather’s request and hires contractor Peach Gallagher to do the necessary and ongoing repairs. His young daughter, Dorothy, also becomes a regular at the store, and she and Natalie begin reading together while Peach works. To Natalie’s surprise, her sorrow begins to dissipate as her life becomes an unexpected journey of new connections, discoveries and revelations, from unearthing artifacts hidden in the bookshop’s walls, to discovering the truth about her family, her future, and her own heart.

Klubben - en undersøgelse - Matilda Gustavsson - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

Klubben - en undersøgelse - Matilda Gustavsson - Bog - HarperCollins - Booktok.dk

I årtier havde han været omgivet af rygter om misbrug – den velkendte kulturprofil, hvis prestigefyldte klub tiltrak medlemmer af det Svenske Akademi, og hvor kunst både blev født og døde. Den 21. november 2017 blev journalist Matilda Gustavssons rapport om den kulturelle profil offentliggjort i Dagens Nyheter, hvor atten kvinder vidnede om voldtægt, trusler og chikane. Det lancerede en kæde af begivenheder, der ville få en af ​​verdens mest rigeste kulturinstitutioner til at gå i knæ. I Klubben uddyber Matilda Gustavsson sin undersøgelse af den kulturelle verdens magt og hvor langt man kan gå i kunstens navn. Hun skriver om tiden omkring udgivelsen – i kølvandet på, at den kulturelle profil er (for?)dømt for voldtægt, og om modsigelserne inden for akademiet. Inspireret af #Metoo-bevægelsen offentliggjorde Matilda Gustavsson i november 2017 flere afgørende artikler om seksuelle overgreb begået af »Kulturprofilen«, der havde tilknytning til Det Svenske Akademi. Artiklen førte til en advokatundersøgelse foranlediget af Det Svenske Akademi og efterfølgende politianmeldelse af kulturprofilen, Jean-Claude Arnault. Han blev siden idømt to et halvt års fængsel for to voldtægter. Afsløringerne førte også til intern uenighed og mandefald i Det Svenske Akademi, der endte med ikke at uddele en Nobelpris i litteratur i 2018.
