Det kribler med mus og mænd i denne meget korte, meget præcis roman af John Steinbeck. Det er en roman, der for alvor iscenesætter to mænd, der har fattigdommen helt inde i inderlommen, sveddryppende tæt på kroppen. De er daglejere. De bevæger sig fra ranch til ranch, den ene mere adræt end den anden, den anden mere gumpetung end den første, og det er sidstnævnte, der vækker mest sympati, for han er også mentalt lettere hærget. Hvem er der tale om? Der er snak om George og Lennie. George forsøger at holde sammen på de to, og han nærer en drøm om at blive fri af de fastlåste lejesituationer. Her er Lennie anderledes indstillet. Han kan ikke rigtig være til stede i den verden, vi møder. Han gør alt for at få en hundehvalp, og han kommer for skade at sige ting, der ikke skal ud i dagens skarpe lys. Han bringer dem for et godt ord i fedtefadet. Det er komisk, det er skarpt fortalt. Lennies gøren og laden får en dag fatale følger. Dem hører vi om her i denne fine fortælling, blandt andet.Beskrivelsen blev leveret af Martin fra Litteraturlinjer.dk

Bob Dylan kendes først og fremmest som musiker, og derfor tenderer hans store litterære kvaliteter at drukne i folkrock, protestsang og mundharpe. Men han indstilles til Nobelprisen i litteratur år efter år, og Dylans tekstunivers er delikat, genialt, originalt og billedrigt. I denne bog gennemgås Dylans studiealbum et for et, og det bliver tydeligt, at de bibelske inspirationskilder er blandt Dylans vigtigste, lige fra Blowing' In The Wind til i dag. Det er først og fremmest i Bibelens dunkle dyb, han henter sine digteriske billeder. Der er indsigt og udblik at hente for fans og feinschmeckere, men nybegyndere kan også være med, for hele Dylans univers bliver præsenteret. Jakob Brønnum skriver både som den spændende teolog han er, men også som mangeårig lytter af den legendariske sanger.

Papirslottet er en fortælling om hemmeligheder, kærlighed og løgne.Det er en dejlig sommermorgen på Cape Cod. Elle Bishop, lykkeligt gift med Peter og mor til tre, vågner på familiens sommersted Papirslottet. Her har hun tilbragt alle somre i sit liv: som barn, som ung og sammen med sin egen familie. Men denne morgen er anderledes. Aftenen før sneg Elle sig ud sammen med barndomsvennen Jonas og havde sex, mens deres intetanende familier opholdt sig indenfor. I løbet af det næste døgn må Elle træffe en stor og livsændrende beslutning: Skal hun blive hos Peter, som hun elsker, eller skal hun starte et nyt liv med Jonas, som var hendes første store kærlighed? Som ung var hun sikker på, at de en dag ville gifte sig, men en tragisk hændelse forandrede alt.Papirslottet er en fascinerende historie om en kvindes liv og svære valg.

Joyce Nassar Huna Waharina is a survivor of her own past which was filled with abuse, violence, addictions, depression & trauma, anxiety and burnout. She was under the hells of life and was abandoned medically and by those around her. She lived in a whirlpool of inner self-destruction and constant sadness. Always looking to be loved, seen and valued for who she was, not how she was supposed to function or be molded. Somewhere along the way, she lost herself in all the diagnoses she had received, living out her own self-abandonment, resistance and depression. 14 years ago, at the age of 30, she was told that this state of hopelessness, pain and permanent inner darkness was chronic and that she had to learn to live with it. This statement lit a new fire in her. She made a decision to finally live. Without even knowing what real LIFE was, she began her journey. She began to believe in herself, found ways to heal herself and activate her own self-healing powers, changed her outlook on life and became healthy. Today she stands for hope, belief in oneself and never giving up.Her poems are a journey from 1993-2010, through her darkness, depressions and moments of hope. Let yourself be inspired by a journey in darkness that led more and more into the light.

Val Haverford's sci-fi and Western novels made him a household name. But that was a decade ago. Creative stagnation led Val to withdraw into his idyllic cabin at the edge of Chicago's lakefront, as far from the press and prying fans as possible. When a number of people disappear after violent attacks, Val is pulled into a plot darker than any he could pen. As he digs into a dystopian conspiracy with disturbing similarities to incidents in his youth, he's warned to watch his step-by a captivated reporter, his fast-rising competition, even his agent-before he becomes a target himself. But Val's fading health won't let him quit. He has one chance to revive his career and reconcile the past before he-and everyone he loves-is silenced for good.

The beginning of the 21st century saw the rise of "New" Atheism and a resulting conflict with Theists ¿ at the same time as the resurgence of fantasy in popular culture. This volume analyses the impact of Theist and Atheist thought on the narratology of four highly popular works of contemporary fantastic fiction. In doing so, the work demonstrates how the ideological stances and the associated patterns of thought colour the novels¿ stylistic and narrative devices. The book also presents a new conditional genre metric that not only helps overcome previous impasses within fantastic genre categories but also allows insight into the aforementioned patterns of Atheist and Theist thinking.

Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"Great new heir hunter! Flint is back!!! Heir hunter extraordinaire, Michael Flint, is back with his newest case!" Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars"I was enthralled with this book because of the genealogist theme. I dabble in genealogy, and have hit my fair share of brick walls. Michael Flint is a great character, fully developed personality, with knowledge and fearlessness to pursue wrong-doing and try to make it right, not necessarily within the law. I couldn't put down either of the books in this series and am hopeful for more." Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"I started reading Ms Capri's Jack Reacher spin-offs. I've read them all. Moving on to her other works. Great reads. Can't wait for the next in the Michael Flint series."

A tenacious character with a set of values and a conscience. A very good read. Couldn't put it down!" Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"Tense and captivating page turner. I really enjoyed the Heir Hunter series and am hoping for more real soon. Michael Flint is a true adventure hero every bit as good as Indiana Jones with a dose of Jack Reacher thrown in for good measure. He's highly principled, while somewhat flawed, but very loyal with a vulnerable side he'd rather keep hidden. Please Diane Capri......more, more, more!" Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"This second book was every bit as riveting as I'd hoped for. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could hardly put it down. I can't wait for the third book in this series!!"
