Genrebrydende erindringstrilogi om at skrive og finde sin plads i verden. Deborah Levy befinder sig i en livskrise. Hun er begyndt at græde, hver gang hun står på en rulletrappe og beslutter sig for at rejse til Mallorca for at komme lidt væk. Fra den vinterkolde ferieø tænker hun tilbage på sit liv. På barndommen i Sydafrika under apartheid, hvor hendes far bliver fængslet for sin støtte til ANC. På ungdomslivet i England, hvor forfatterdrømmen begynder at spire. Og på hvordan man som kvinde er nødt til at finde sin stemme, tale højt og kræve sin plads i verden. TING JEG IKKE VIL VIDE er et feministisk modsvar til George Orwells berømte essay WHY I WRITE fra 1946 og er første del af Deborah Levys prisbelønnede erindringstrilogi, hvor hun med udgangspunkt i sin egen historie og sit liv i 40’erne, 50’erne og 60’erne reflekterer indsigtsfuldt og levende over fortid og nutid, kvinderoller, familie, politik, litteratur, kærlighed og venskab. Trilogien blev et internationalt fænomen, rost for sin elegante, genrebrydende stil og kaldt for en moderne coming-of-middle-age. Selv kalder hun den for ’A Living Autobiography’, en ’levende selvbiografi’, skrevet mens livet raser omkring hende og ikke i eftertankens klare lys.

Nøjsomheden er en rå og kærlighedsfuld roman om Mona, der bor i ghettoen Nøjsomheden og skal finde vej i livet med en spraglet familie af samlere, pushere og handlekraftige kvinder. Selv drømmer hun sig væk i bøgernes verden og skriver små post-it-anmeldelser på de brugte værker i Nøjsomhedens byttecentral ved vaskekælderen. En dag får Mona gennem moster Tut arbejde i Lindas Boghandel, og her bemærker hun en ung mand, der åbner bøgerne lige så nænsomt som hun selv. Nikolaj er på udkig efter Søren Ulrik Thomsens City Slang, mens Mona er mere til Tove Ditlevsen og Sophus Claussen. De mødes over bøgerne, og selvom Mona lige skal tyde, hvad der sker i pauserne mellem Nikolajs sætninger, bliver hun helt og aldeles forgabt i ham. Men Monas tidligere kærlighedsliv har været en blandet affære, og det er en krævende øvelse for hende at bevæge sig håbefuldt og drømmende gennem tilværelsen. Nøjsomheden er en medrivende roman om at blive til som menneske gennem bevidstheden om, hvor man kommer fra.

Lady Pandora Ravenel er smuk og ambitiøs og driver en forretning, men socialt er hun en katastrofe. Under et bal kommer hun til skade i en havepavillion, og Gabriel Challon, lord St. Vincent, bliver tilfældigt den, der dukker op og kan befri hende. Under redningsmanøvren bliver de opdaget af ballets vært, og når to fremmede bliver fundet alene i en penibel situation under et bal i victoriatidens London, må der gøres noget for at bevare facaden. altså tvinges Pandora og Gabriel ind i en forlovelse, som ingen af dem ønsker ... i begyndelsen.  Og her i tredje bind i Lisa Kleypas' Ravenel-serie viser det sig, at Gabriel er søn af Evie og Sebastian fra Wallflowers-seriens Vinterens løfter.

Da Elizabeth Bennet første gang møder Fitzwilliam Darcy, finder hun ham arrogant og indbildsk allerede inden, han ved samme lejlighed højlydt fornærmer hendes udseende. Da hun senere finder ud af, at Darcy er hovedårsagen til, at hendes elskede søster Jane ikke kan få den mand, hun elsker, vokser hendes i forvejen stærke modvilje mod ham endnu mere. I den begivenhedsrige fortælling, der herefter følger, udstiller Jane Austen, hvor lidt man kan stole på førstehåndsindtryk, ligesom hun på karakteristisk ironisk vis udstiller snobberi, dumhed, selvoptagethed og flosset moral i det 19. århundredes provinsielle middelklasseliv i England. Det lyder måske trivielt, men det er det ikke. Det er Jane Austen, når hun er bedst, og Stolthed og fordom er en af de uomgængelige kærlighedsromaner i litteraturhistorien. "Trods sit antikverede, engelske middelklassemiljø med dets ligeså forældede kønsroller evner en roman som Austens Stolthed og fordom (1813) at skildre kærlighed og længsler, så følelserne står tindrende klare for læseren." - Lars Handesten, Berlingske "Helt ærligt! En roman om engelsk middelklassemiljø i 1700-tallet med mænd, der skal gøre sig fortjent og kvinder, der bare venter på at blive gift. Hvorfor skulle vi gide? Fordi romanen er skrevet af Jane Austen. Fordi den er en af verdenslitteraturens store skildrere af kærlighed og længsler. Fordi vi har slugt de forskellige filmatiseringer gennem årene. Og fordi helten hedder Mr. Darcy." - Kirsten Boas, Kristeligt Dagblad "Stolthed og fordom handler også om det, alle store romaner omhandler: søgningen efter selvet. Og det er den første store roman, der lærer os, at denne søgning lige så vel kan finde sted gennem småsnak i dagligstuen som i jagten på en stor hvid hval eller i den offentlige afstraffelse af utroskab." - Anna Quindlen, Modern Library

To unge, elegante gentlemen ankommer en junidag i 1901 til godset Manningham i det sydlige England. Den ene er lord Albert, som vender tilbage fra sin ingeniøreksamen i Dresden for at blive slægtens overhoved. Den anden er Sverre, og de har bestemt sig til et liv sammen. Der er gået mange år, siden Sverre og hans brødre, Lauritz og Oscar, voksede op i en fattig fiskerfamilie i Vestlandet i Norge. Deres usædvanlige tekniske begavelse førte dem til datidens fornemste eksamen som diplomingeniører fra universitetet i Dresden. Lauritz vendte tilbage til Norge, Oscar forsvandt til Tysk Østafrika – og Sverre befinder sig nu med sin elskede lord i det sydlige England, hvor hans kunstneriske talent blomstrer. De to gentlemen bevæger sig også blandt Londons kunstnere og bohemer, og den frigjorte Bloomsbury-gruppe sætter sit aftryk på både tiden og Sverre. Men på samme måde som første verdenskrig slog hele tilværelsen i stykker for Lauritz og Oscar, rammes nu Sverre og Albert. Deres verden af skønhed og kunst forvandles til et helvede. DANDY er andet bind i Jan Guillous romanserie om 1900-tallets Europa.

*A New Statesman and Daily Mail BOOK OF THE YEAR**Longlisted for the 2024 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction*'The best book I've ever read about motherhood' Jude Rogers, Observer'I kept scribbling in the margins: 'We need to know this stuff!'' Joanna Pocock, SpectatorA radical new examination of the transition into motherhood and how it affects the mind, brain and bodyDuring pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood, women undergo a far-reaching physiological, psychological and social metamorphosis.There is no other time in a human's life course that entails such dramatic change-other than adolescence. And yet this life-altering transition has been sorely neglected by science, medicine and philosophy. Its seismic effects go largely unrepresented across literature and the arts. Speaking about motherhood as anything other than a pastel-hued dream remains, for the most part, taboo.In this ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, acclaimed journalist and author Lucy Jones brings to light the emerging concept of 'matrescence'. Drawing on new research across various fields - neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy; sociology, economics and ecology - Jones shows how the changes in the maternal mind, brain and body are far more profound, wild and enduring than we have been led to believe. She reveals the dangerous consequences of our neglect of the maternal experience and interrogates the patriarchal and capitalist systems that have created the untenable situation mothers face today.Here is an urgent examination of the modern institution of motherhood, which seeks to unshackle all parents from oppressive social norms. As it deepens our understanding of matrescence, it raises vital questions about motherhood and femininity; interdependence and individual identity; as well as about our relationships with each other and the living world.
