Others Were Emeralds - Lang Leav - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

Others Were Emeralds - Lang Leav - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

“ Others Were Emeralds kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. With lyrical and moving prose, Lang tells a stunning tale of love, loss, and the true power of friendship. A deep, beautiful novel." — Etaf Rum, New York Times bestselling author of A Woman is No Man Internationally acclaimed poet Lang Leav’s debut adult novel combines her poetical lyricism and emotional acumen to create an enthralling coming of age narrative set against the backdrop of anti-Asian sentiment sweeping Australia in the late 90’s. A stirring portrayal of guilt, loss, and memory, Others Were Emeralds explores the inherent danger of allowing our misconceptions to shape our reality. What comes first, the photograph or the memory? The daughter of Cambodian refugees, Ai grew up in the small Australian town of Whitlam populated by Asian immigrants who once fled war-torn countries to rebuild their shattered lives. It is now the late ''90s and despite their parents'' harrowing past, Ai and her tightknit group of school friends: charismatic Brigitte, sweet, endearing Bowie, shy, inscrutable Tin, and politically minded Sying, lead seemingly ordinary lives, far removed from the unimaginable horrors suffered by their parents. But that carefree innocence is shattered in their last year of school when Ai and her friends encounter a pair of racist men whose cruel acts of intimidation spiral into senseless violence. Grappling with the magnitude of her grief at such a young age, Ai leaves Whitlam for college before her trauma has a chance to fully resolve. In her second year of college Ai suffers a mental health crisis, driving her back home to Whitlam, a place she swore never to return. There, she reconnects with those she left behind and together they are compelled to look back on the tragedy that shaped their adolescence and examine the role they may have unwittingly played.

Questland - Vaughn Carrie Vaughn - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

Questland - Vaughn Carrie Vaughn - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

" Questland is a thrill ride . . . Richly imagined, action-packed, maximum fun." — Charles Yu, New York Times bestselling author of Interior Chinatown YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A MAZE FULL OF TWISTY PASSAGES . . . Literature professor Dr. Addie Cox is living a happy, if sheltered, life in her ivory tower when Harris Lang, the famously eccentric billionaire tech genius, offers her an unusual job. He wants her to guide a mercenary strike team sent to infiltrate his island retreat off the northwest coast of the United States. Addie is puzzled by her role on the mission until she understands what Lang has built: Insula Mirabilis, an isolated resort where tourists will one day pay big bucks for a convincing, high-tech-powered fantasy-world experience, complete with dragons, unicorns, and, yes, magic. Unfortunately, one of the island''s employees has gone rogue and activated an invisible force shield that has cut off all outside communication. A Coast Guard cutter attempting to pass through the shield has been destroyed. Suspicion rests on Dominic Brand, the project’s head designer—and Addie Cox''s ex-boyfriend. Lang has tasked Addie and the mercenary team with taking back control of the island at any cost. But Addie is wrestling demons of her own—and not the fantastical kind. Now, she must navigate the deadly traps of Insula Mirabilis as well as her own past trauma. And no d20, however lucky, can help Addie make this saving throw. “Gamers rejoice! Carrie Vaughn has conjured up a fun and fast-paced story filled with elves, d20s, and Monty Python riffs.” — Monte Cook, ENnie Award-winning creator of the Numenera roleplaying game

Brave New World: A Graphic Novel - Aldous Huxley - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

Brave New World: A Graphic Novel - Aldous Huxley - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

"Brilliant. . . . This rip-roaring graphic retelling of the Aldous Huxley classic brings to mind Fritz Lang, Spielberg and vintage comics. . . . This is a book that will keep your bedside light burning long into the night." — The Guardian Available for the first time as a graphic novel, “one of the most prophetic dystopian works of the twentieth century” ( Wall Street Journal ), Aldous Huxley’s revered classic , adapted and illustrated by Fred Fordham, the artist behind the graphic novel adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird. In Aldous Huxley’s darkly satiric yet chillingly prescient imagining of a “utopian” future, humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order—all at the cost of their freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also their souls. Originally published in 1932, Brave New World has enthralled and terrified millions of readers for decades and now it has been reborn for a new age. In Brave New World : A Graphic Novel Fred Fordham’s aesthetically reimagined adaptation brings Huxley’s powerful work to life. Fordham has captured the surreal imagery and otherworldly backdrop of the story through brilliantly rendered illustrations. His singular artistic vision and impeccable attention to detail depicts the work as never before, introducing it to a new generation of readers in a fresh and compelling way. Huxley’s enduring classic is a reflection and a warning of the age in which it was written yet remains frighteningly relevant today.

Lær din hund at tale - Christina Hunger - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

Lær din hund at tale - Christina Hunger - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

En helt utrolig og revolutionerende sand historie – samt en overraskende enkel guide til at lære din hund at tale – fra logopæd Christina Hunger, som lærte sin hund, Stella, at kommunikere ved hjælp af enkle, pote store knapper, der repræsenterer forskellige ord. Da talepædagog Christina Hunger fik sin hundehvalp, Stella, hjem, gik der ikke lang tid før hun begyndte at drage paralleller mellem sit job og sit nye kæledyr. I løbet af dagen arbejdede hun med småbørn, der havde betydelige forsinkelser i deres sprogudvikling og brugte ASK-hjælpemidler (Alternativ og Supplerende Kommunikation) til at hjælpe dem med at kommunikere. Når hun fik fri, stillede hun sig selv spørgsmålet: Hvis hunde forstår de ord, vi siger til dem,skulle de så ikke også kunne sige ord til os? Kan hunde bruge ASK til at kommunikere med mennesker? Christina besluttede sig for at teste sin teori på Stella. Hver gang hun tog Stella ud af huset, trykkede hun på en knap, der var programmeret med hendes stemme, som sagde ordet 'udenfor'. Få år senere har Stella nu en bank med mere end 30 ordknapper, hun selv bruger dagligt, enten hver for sig eller sammen til at skabe næsten komplette sætninger . Lær din hund at tale er dels en erindringsbog og dels en guidebog. Den skildrer Christina og Stellas rejse og afslørerde teknikker, Christina brugte til at oplære Stella med, præsenteret i enkle stadier og håndterbare trin, så enhver hundeejer kan begynde at kommunikere med deres dyr.

The Boy in the Field - Margot Livesey - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year | An O Magazine Best Book of the Year The New York Times bestselling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy delivers another “luminous, unforgettable, and perfectly rendered” (Dennis Lehane) novel—a poignant and probing psychological drama that follows the lives of three siblings in the wake of a violent crime. One September afternoon in 1999, teenagers Matthew, Zoe, and Duncan Lang are walking home from school when they discover a boy lying in a field, bloody and unconscious. Thanks to their intervention, the boy’s life is saved. In the aftermath, all three siblings are irrevocably changed. Matthew, the oldest, becomes obsessed with tracking down the assailant, secretly searching the local town with the victim’s brother. Zoe wanders the streets of Oxford, looking at men, and one of them, a visiting American graduate student, looks back. Duncan, the youngest, who has seldom thought about being adopted, suddenly decides he wants to find his birth mother. Overshadowing all three is the awareness that something is amiss in their parents’ marriage. Over the course of the autumn, as each of the siblings confronts the complications and contradictions of their approaching adulthood, they find themselves at once drawn together and driven apart. Written with the deceptive simplicity and power of a fable, The Boy in the Field showcases Margot Livesey’s unmatched ability to “tell her tale masterfully, with intelligence, tenderness, and a shrewd understanding of all our mercurial human impulses” (Lily King, author of Euphoria ).

The Hidden Book - Kirsty Manning - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

From bestselling author Kirsty Manning comes a stunning novel based on a true story of clandestine courage in World War II as prisoners of war risk their lives to secure evidence of Nazi atrocities—and how one man concealed it for decades before passing it on to his family who struggle to understand their inherited legacy of trauma. Austria, 1940s: Yugoslavian Nico Antonov is just one of more than 200,000 people imprisoned in the Mauthausen concentration camp near the Danube River. Malnourished and forced into hard labor in a quarry, he still defies his captors any way he can. When fate brings him into contact with Lena Lang, a young woman living with her family in fear of their Nazi occupiers, he finds an ally. SS officers have charged Spanish POW and photographer Mateo Baca with recording the events and prisoners of Mauthausen and to make five copies of the collected photo book for the Third Reich’s leaders. But Mateo also creates a sixth book to be smuggled out of the camp—where Nico entrusts Lena to hide it and protect their secret. Australia, 1980s to present day: When teenager Hannah Campbell discovers her grandfather Nico’s mysterious photo album, filled with horrific visions of suffering and cruelty, the barbarities of World War II no longer feel like ancient history. Haunted by the images for years, as a university student and a married young mother, she pursues the truth behind her grandfather’s incarceration. As Hannah experiences love and loss in her own life, she comes to understand how the photos not only capture history but reflect a shared humanity that must never be forgotten.
