The Swan Thieves - Elizabeth Kostova - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Swan Thieves - Elizabeth Kostova - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe has a perfectly ordered life - solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient. Desperate to understand the secret that torments this genius, Marlowe embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism. Kostova''s masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy; from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love. The Swan Thieves is a story of obsession, history''s losses, and the power of art to preserve hope.

Denim and Leather - Michael Hann - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Denim and Leather - Michael Hann - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn''t the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world. From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal''s subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM''s standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal''s global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the ''battle jacket'' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer''s mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: ''Denim and leather brought us all together,'' as Saxon put it. No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock''s most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John ''Mutt'' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few. In Denim and Leather , these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever. This is the definitive story about the greatest days of British heavy rock.

Circles Of Deceit - Nina Bawden - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Beautifully observed'' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH ''Among the most perceptive and accomplished novelists writing today'' P. D. JAMES ''Nina Bawden''s powerful exploration of deception gradually unfolds a moving story about lies and truths, forgery and fidelity, love and loss'' THE BOOKER PRIZE Circles of Deceit is narrated by a painter who specialises as a copyist, this is his story: ''bothered by bills and artistic conscience in about equal measure . . . susceptible to, bullied and badgered by women.'' Major figures on the canvas are Clio, his child-bride; Helen, his first wife; and his mother Maisie. They confound lies and the truth in a subtle weave while the silent agony of the painter''s son is a poignant reflection on the busy web of deception. And as the copyist transcribes his modern versions of Old Masters, the past keeps breaking through the surface of the present, until fact and fiction like art and life meet in a remarkable conclusion.

Millennium - Tom Holland - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Bestselling historian and broadcaster Tom Holland gives a thrilling panoramic account of the birth of the new Western Europe in the year 1000 ''An exhilarating sweep across European history either side of the year 1000; riveting'' ALLAN MASSIE, SPECTATOR ''I relished the blood and thunder narrative - the work of a great storyteller at his best'' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, EVENING STANDARD ''A splendid, highly coloured canvas'' NORMAN STONE, GUARDIAN In AD 900, few would have guessed that the splintering kingdoms of Europe were candidates for future greatness. Hemmed in by implacable enemies and an ocean, there were many who feared that they were nearing the time when the Antichrist would appear, heralding the world''s end. Instead there emerged a new civilisation. It was the age of Otto the Great and William the Conqueror, of Viking sea-kings, of hermits, monks and serfs. It witnessed the spread of castles, the invention of knighthood, and the founding of the papal monarchy. It was a momentous achievement: for this was nothing less than the founding of the modern West.

The Art Of Murder - Jose Carlos Somoza - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Art Of Murder - Jose Carlos Somoza - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

In 2006, the art world has moved far beyond sheep in formaldehyde and the most avant-garde movement is to use living people as artwork. Undergoing weeks of preparation to become ''canvases'', the models are required to stay in their pose for ten to twelve hours a day and, as art pieces, they are also for sale. After being exhibited, the ''canvases'' can be bought and taken to the purchaser''s home, where they are rented for weeks or months.Many beautiful young men and women long to become a ''canvas'' - knowing they are a masterpeice and worth millions seems to make all the sacrifices worthwhile - especially if they can be ''painted'' by the celebrated artist Bruno Van Tysch. But there is a darker side to this art movement when it is found that the models/works of art are sometimes used in interactive works - snuff movies, where the ''art'' is filmed being tortured and killed. Van Tysch''s work is being targeted and the investigators must find the killer before the displays of imitations of Rembrandt''s masterpieces - the biggest exhibition of ''hyperdramatic art'' yet seen - is put on show.

Embrace - Mark Behr - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

EMBRACE is the story of the awakening of Karl De Man a thirteen-year-old student at the Berg, an exclusive academy for boys in South Africa in the 1970s. Interwoven with the storyline about Karl at school are memories from Karl''s childhood and first years at the Berg, presented as an ever-growing patchwork of the many influences on his development: growing up on a game reserve in East Africa, intensely aware of landscape and wildlife; a loving and close family, but a traditional one that will never easily accept Karl''s true self: being sent away to school and the formation of new friendships and relationships. But, after threats and punishments handed out after casual sexual games in the dorm, Karl falls in love. He simultaneously has secret affairs with his best friend, Dominic, who is the son of liberal parents, and his choirmaster, Jacques Cilliers. The great strength of the novel is that it places Karl''s passions on a wider canvas, focusing on his raw passions and elemental drives against the landscapes of Africa. It is a staggering follow-up to Mark Behr''s award-winning first novel, THE SMELL OF APPLES.

Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection. I never understood that connection until I sat down to write. It was then that the magic started to flow.'' Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humour. ''My life is all about opposites,'' he writes. ''Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.'' Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan''s Upper East Side, Brooklyn''s Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles''s Baldwin Hills, Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England and Germany. It''s the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately a master songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see Lenny''s spiritual growth-and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music. The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his muse.The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.The creation of that voice, the same voice that is able to declare ''Let Love Rule'' to an international audience, is the very heart of this story.''Whether recording, performing, or writing a book,'' says Lenny, ''my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together.''

The Little Book of Resilience - Matthew Johnstone - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Little Book of Resilience - Matthew Johnstone - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Little Book of Resilience is about how we can fortify our lives mentally, emotionally and physically. It is not about what happens when we get knocked down but more about what happens when we get up again. It is a book about what resilience is and how we grow and maintain it. The first step in understanding resilience is accepting what you can and cannot change. You can''t change the weather but you can certainly change the way you interact with it; using an umbrella, a jacket or sunscreen. Just as you can''t change your history, family, race, or past hurts and events but with the right direction and understanding you can certainly change how you look and feel about them moving forward. Life doesn''t always turn out as we''d expected. It can be complex, harsh, joyful, mean, hilarious and utterly perplexing. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we will be able to cope with whatever life throws our way. For the majority of life''s adversities, there is no magic pill or silver bullet - to get over anything we generally have to go through it - but if we''re prepared to learn from that experience, good can certainly come from bad. We can grow to be wiser, more empathetic and understanding and from that we can create greater purpose in our lives.

Panzerkrieg - Mike Syron - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Panzerkrieg - Mike Syron - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

For many people the very image of Blitzkrieg is of massed columns of tanks sweeping through Europe, smashing all resistance and leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. Indeed, it was the Panzers'' achievements in battle that were largely responsible for Germany''s early run of success in the Second World War and, once the tide of war began to turn against the Reich, the Panzers subsequently became the backbone of its defence. The dramatic story of Hitler''s tank divisions is brought to life in this authoritative narrative. Panzerkrieg vividly describes the evolution, exploits and eventual destruction of this superlative fighting force in immensely readable fashion. Particularly accessible to the general reader who wants to know more about Germany''s Second World War tank forces, the authors dispense with technical jargon and pedantic detail to give a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the subject, both human and technical. The book gives particular emphasis to the men who fought in and led the Panzer divisions: great generals like Guderian, Rommel and Manstein, tank masters like Wittmann and Bake, and inspired commanders like Balck and Bayerlein.The whole vast canvas of the war emerges from this narrative, as it follows the titanic struggles which ranged between the bocage country of France, the desert wastes of North Africa, and the limitless steppes of Russia. The evolution of German fighting vehicles and tactics is fully charted, and the many myths, fallacies and misconceptions that have grown up around the Panzerwaffe are exploded. Extensive research, reference to the memoirs of the leading participants, and original new conclusions all contribute to a comprehensive account that critically examines the achievements, failures, and ultimate legacy of the Panzer divisions.Features INCLUDE: The secret pre-war birth and development of the PanzerwaffeThe lightning campaigns in Poland and FranceThe four bloody years of the Russian campaign, the greatest clash of arms the world has ever seenThe exploits of Rommel and his Africa CorpsHitler''s increasingly disastrous influence on the PanzerwaffeDisputes between the Panzer officers and their High CommandPortraits of the Panzerwaffe''s leadersDetailed analysis of the great tank battles such as Kursk and the Battle of the Bulge, with clear mapsComparative rank and organizational chartsInformation on the technical evolution of Germany''s armoured fighting vehicles, including the development of the mighty Tigers and PanthersUnique sections on uniforms, crew functions and how German tanks were builtRare coverage of how the Panzer leaders fared after the war The legacy of the Panzers

In Pursuit of Happiness - Stacey Duguid - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''Engaging, honest and funny...Stacey could write about Farrow & Ball paint drying - not to mention the breakdown of a marriage and a lifetime''s dreams - and make it funny. Whatever happens next in her life, I want to read it.'' The Sunday Times Hello, my name''s Stacey Duguid and I''m a reformed fashion editor. Oh, wait. Wrong meeting.I once worked for British ELLE magazine and wore expensive clothes, whereas I''m now a single mother, divorcee and love addict (wearing expensive clothes I never should''ve bought). I spent my entire twenties, and, err, alright, thirties, in nightclubs. Dabbling occasionally with the odd recreational drug (or five), I shopped hard, loved hard and tried very hard to find a man who could save me. From the stuff we pick-up as little girls to an ingrained internalisation of gender roles we''re left to unpack for a lifetime, I''d spent a lifetime pursuing a dream marriage which, in the end, left me shattered. Who suggested ''happily ever after'' was even given thing?This collection of essays tells the story of a life that, until my marital breakdown, looked absolutely f-ing fabulous. I''ll talk about everything that is taboo in today''s society, some of which you may have gone through, too: miscarriage, abortion, debt, affairs, divorce, single parenting, post-natal depression, sex and dating in mid-life. The cracks in my life were glossed over with a big smile, a large wine and an outfit I definitely couldn''t afford.Had someone told me not to worry about meeting a man, and to stop blowing money on credit cards just because the ''spirits'' (as in dead people, not vodka) told me I needed ''a new wider-shoulder jacket'', despite it being a week before payday and not having enough money in my account to pay rent, would I have listened? I''m not sure. Had someone (or a spirit) mentioned that the so-called ''happily ever after'' might not end up so happy, would my life be any different now? I doubt it, but in writing my story, I hope you''ll feel less alone in yours.You are not alone on this journey of womanhood and we all have the right to pursue our own happiness, or perhaps our own contentment. Because happy endings, not the type you pay for but the state of mind, are they possible to ever really find? Have you?
