"From the acclaimed author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL comes a deeply moving romance about losing the life you always thought would be yours...and finding something beautiful in the wreckage of the past. Quietly heartbroken, Edwin Tully lives alone in the house he used to share with the man he once loved. He tends to damaged books and faded memories, trying to build a future from the fragments of the past. Then the weather turns, and the river spills into Edwin's quiet world, bringing with it Adam Dacre from the Environment Agency. An unlikely knight, this stranger with roughened hands and worn wellingtons offers Edwin the hope of something he thought he would never have again. As the two men are drawn together in their struggle against the rising waters, Edwin slowly lets down his guard as he comes to accept he can't shield his heart from everything-and perhaps he doesn't even need to try.

This lyrical, moving LGBTQIA+ romance contains never-before-seen content and exclusive bonus material-including a NEW novella, Chasing the Light, following Marius as he rediscovers love and the complicated joy of being truly alive"--

Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Now a major HBO series. Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television. When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.

I 'Drømmenes København' fører Holger Dahl os igennem den urealiserede arkitekturs København.Vi husker det, som var engang. Men hvad med alt det, der aldrig blev? Idéer, der kunne have forandret byen på godt og ondt. Nogle har vi lykkeligt undgået, mens andre på spektakulær vis udfordrer, hvad byen kunne have været i dag. Med Holger Dahl som kyndig guide ledes vi igennem en forestillet by, der rummer Jørn Utzons svømmehal ved Søerne, en mur af BIG-boliger langs Kløvermarken og Theo Bjergs udbygning til SMK.Den offentlige hukommelse er ubarmhjertigt kort, og sjældent skænker vi det ikke-byggede mange tanker. Det hukommelsestab udfordrer 'Drømmenes København'. Hvilke kvaliteter og ambitioner havde de urealiserede projekter? Valgte vi altid den rigtige løsning?
