A mesmerising trip across Central Asia, this travelogue offers an unforgettable journey through the former Soviet Republics—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—each of which gained independence after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Prizewinning author Erika Fatland explores how these nations have evolved, revealing stories that even seasoned travelers might not know. In Kyrgyzstani villages, she encounters victims of bride snatching and visits the desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan, a site of Soviet nuclear tests. She meets Chinese shrimp gatherers by the Aral Sea and witnesses the fall of a dictator. Traveling incognito in Turkmenistan, she engages with human rights activists in Kazakhstan and survivors of the 2010 Osh massacre. Fatland also meets German Mennonites who settled in Kyrgyzstan two centuries ago. Throughout her journey, she observes the clash between ancient customs and modern gas production, as well as the tensions between ethnic Russians and the local majority in a nation navigating its Nationalist identity. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the starkness of Soviet architecture, her openness to the people and landscapes creates a rare and unforgettable narrative. Translated from Norwegian by Kari Dickson.
The brand new Harry Hole thriller from Sunday Times number one bestseller Jo Nesbo. JO NESBO. 40 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE. 'Nesbo is one of the best thriller writers on the planet' Daily Express A man like Harry had better watch his back... Following the dramatic conclusion of number one bestseller THE THIRST, KNIFE sees Harry Hole waking up with a ferocious hangover, his hands and clothes covered in blood. Not only is Harry about to come face to face with an old, deadly foe, but with his darkest personal challenge yet. The twelfth instalment in Jo Nesbo's internationally bestselling crime fiction series.
A woman is found murdered after an internet date. The marks left on her body show the police that they are dealing with a particularly vicious killer. Under pressure from the media to find the murderer, the force know there's only one man for the job. But Harry Hole is reluctant to return to the place that almost took everything from him. Until he starts to suspect a connection between this killing and his one failed case. When another victim is found, Harry realises he will need to put everything on the line if he's to finally catch the one who got away.
Determined to prove the innocence of a young man he helped raise, disgraced former cop Harry Hole embarks on an increasingly dangerous investigation linked to Oslo's most virulent street drug.
Oslo. Due donne vengono trovate morte: i polmoni pieni di sangue e ventiquattro ferite in bocca. Nessun indizio. Un caso perfetto per Harry Hole, commissario specializzato in omicidi seriali, alcolista, uomo rude e solitario. Peccato si sia rifugiato a Hong Kong per sfuggire al proprio passato. Soltanto quando lo informano che il padre sta morendo in un ospedale, Hole decide di tornare in città. E subito scopre un dettaglio che sconvolge le indagini: le vittime hanno dormito nello stesso rifugio di montagna. Un killer, scaltro e selvaggio come un leopardo, sta braccando tutti gli ospiti di quella notte, uno a uno: Hole è l'unico che può fermarlo.
Può una donna decidere di cambiare vita a settant’anni? Secondo Ellinor, sì. Anche se ha sempre lasciato che fossero le circostanze a scegliere per lei, appena rimasta vedova abbandona gli agi di un quartiere di lusso di Copenaghen per tornare in quello operaio dove ha trascorso l’infanzia e l’adolescenza. Il quartiere è cambiato: adesso ci sono prostitute, pusher e hipster, ma a lei non importa, le basta solo che dalle finestre della sua nuova casa si veda il portone di quella dove ha vissuto da bambina. In una lunga lettera alla sua migliore amica morta tanti anni prima, Ellinor fa il bilancio della propria vita, segnata da inganni e tradimenti, da dolori e lutti e da un grande, terribile segreto. Con una scrittura incisiva ed elegante, Jens Christian Grøndahl scava nel profondo dell’animo femminile restituendoci, attraverso l’appassionante ritratto di una donna al di fuori dagli schemi, un affresco della borghesia di oggi. Il ritratto di un matrimonio, un libro sull’amore e sulle relazioni famigliari. Il ritorno in grande stile di uno dei migliori autori europei contemporanei.
