Mennesket har festet så langt tilbage i historien, øjet rækker. Overalt i verden er festen omdrejningspunkt for familien, landsbyen, arbejdspladsen eller folket. Faktisk i alle de sociale sammenhænge, der gør os til mennesker. For festerne binder os sammen. Fester bryder hverdagsrytmen, og rituelle, højtidelige eller muntre handlinger erstatter dagligdagen. Der er religiøse højtider, politiske fester, årstidsbestemte gilder eller fejringer af vigtige begivenheder som fx bryllupper. Ofte med mad og drikke i rigelige mængder og gerne med musik, sang eller dans. Bogen fejrer festen til alle tider og i alle dens afskygninger. Fra stenalderens jægere og samlere til fastelavn på Amager, og fra de dødes fest i Mexico til fest for vinguden Dionysos i oldtidens Grækenland.Bogen er skrevet af arkæologer, antropologer, etnologer og historikere – det hele samlet af arkæologen Ditlev L. Mahler og etnologen Elisabeth Colding. Bogens afsluttende essay om nutidens danske fest er skrevet af antropologen Anne Knudsen, tidligere chefredaktør ved Weekendavisen.

"In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states--Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin-- Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. It was not a well-orchestrated matter. There was no guiding genius pulling the strings in key states for the defeated Donald Trump. In the weeks after the election, in counties and precincts all over the country, many local Republican officials and even Trump's own campaign workers washed their hands of his increasingly unhinged allegations of fraud. But there was no shortage of people willing to take up the fight. Urged on by Trump and his coterie of advocates, lawyers, and media propagandists, true believers turned on their colleagues, friends, and neighbors-- even those in their own party--to accuse them of rigging the election. The real story of the insurrection began months before Trump's mob attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. That riot was the desperate final act, emblematic of the clumsy, failed movement Trump had been building for years. It began in cities and small towns all over America on election day, November 3, 2020. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system to ensure that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed."--Provided by publisher.

Set in a working-class town on the Rhode Island coast, O’Nan’s latest is a crushing, beautifully written, and profoundly compelling novel about sisters, mothers, and daughters, and the terrible things love makes us do. In the first line of Ocean State, we learn that a high school student was murdered, and we find out who did it. The story that unfolds from there with incredible momentum is thus one of the build-up to and fall-out from the murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart. Angel, the murderer, Carol, her mother, and Birdy, the victim, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight.Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are compelled by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O'Nan's expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women, but also weaves a compelling and heartbreaking story of working-class life in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Propulsive, moving, and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of our greatest storytellers.
