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.

Dice di chiamarsi Ulf, e cerca un posto dove nascondersi. Cosí ha viaggiato per 1800 chilometri su treni e autobus fino a un paesino sperduto, nell'estremo nord della Norvegia. Aveva dei buoni motivi per tradire il Pescatore, il signore della droga con cui lavorava a Oslo, ma ora ha i suoi sicari alle calcagna. Inutile continuare a scappare. A Kåsund, almeno, ha trovato un capanno da caccia, una donna quasi bella e un ragazzino che non vedeva l'ora di parlare con un forestiero. Non dovrà attendere a lungo per scoprire se, anche per uno come lui, è possibile una redenzione. Oppure se davvero la speranza non è altro che un'invenzione del diavolo.

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.
Un asesino acecha las calles de Oslo, dejando un rastro de policías muertos en los mismos lugares donde fallaron en resolver crímenes. Las ejecuciones son precisas y la alarma mediática alcanza niveles de histeria. Harry Hole, el detective que ha liderado las investigaciones más complejas de homicidios en la ciudad, se enfrenta a un peligro inminente que amenaza incluso a su círculo más cercano. A pesar de su experiencia y aguda intuición, esta vez Harry puede no ser capaz de proteger a los que ama, ni a sí mismo. Las novelas de Jo Nesbo han sido traducidas a más de 40 idiomas y han vendido más de 25 millones de copias en todo el mundo. La crítica ha elogiado su trabajo, destacando su maestría en el género noir. En esta décima entrega de Harry Hole, el personaje se presenta como un tiburón cada vez más formidable, sumergiéndose en los casos con una intensidad renovada. La serie ha sido descrita como una profunda exploración del alma humana, garantizando tensión y escalofríos en cada página. Jo Nesbo se consolida como uno de los grandes maestros del thriller, tanto en Escandinavia como a nivel global.
