**NOW A MAJOR GLOBAL NETFLIX ADAPTATION** **THE INTERNATIONAL NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER** 'Written with heart and great appeal' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A coming-of-age-story to be loved everywhere in the world' FREDRIK BACKMAN, author of A MAN CALLED OVE 'Has struck a chord worldwide' NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ___________________________________________ The international sensation: the story of a young Sámi girl's coming-of-age, and a powerful fable about family, identity and justice Nine-year-old Elsa lives just north of the Arctic Circle. She and her family are Sámi - Scandinavia's indigenous people - and make their living herding reindeer. One morning when Elsa goes skiing alone, she witnesses a man brutally killing her reindeer calf, Nástegallu. Elsa recognises the man but refuses to tell anyone - least of all the Swedish police force - about what she saw. Instead, she carries her secret as a dark weight on her heart. Elsa comes of age fighting two wars: one within her community, where male elders expect young women to know their place; and against the ever-escalating wave of prejudice and violence against the Sámi. When Elsa finds herself the target of the man who killed her reindeer calf all those years ago, something inside of her finally breaks. The guilt, fear, and anger she's been carrying since childhood come crashing over her like an avalanche, and will lead Elsa to a final catastrophic confrontation.

Una historia rocambolesca que destapa la cara más corrupta y salvaje del mundillo del arte. Victor Svensson, un ambicioso sin escrúpulos, se casa con la hija de un multimillonario galerista en sus últimos momentos de vida. Tras la muerte del hombre, Victor engaña a su esposa y se apodera del negocio, satisfaciendo su ansia de dinero y poder. Sin embargo, la aparición de un hijo bastardo de Victor, fruto de una antigua relación, amenaza sus planes, y él no está dispuesto a permitirlo. A partir de aquí, se desarrolla una trama divertida de enredos que mezcla de forma sorprendente la realidad de las tribus masáis, la obra de la pintora Irma Stern, la figura de Hitler y el papel del arte en su destino, además de la sed de venganza de un joven sin nada que perder. La historia presenta a Ole Mbatian Jr., un guerrero masái; Kevin, su especie de hijo; Agneta, una exesposa agraviada y sin recursos; y Johan, un publicista de Estocolmo que ofrece servicios de venganza. Mientras Agneta y Kevin buscan vengarse del galerista que los ha perjudicado, esta novela divertida y filosófica se embarca en un viaje que abarca cinco continentes y presenta un elenco colorido de personajes, incluyendo una cabra llamada Molly y el Papa. Con toques de humor, se critican el colonialismo, la historia del arte y el capitalismo.

It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they're not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un
