Post of Honour - R. F. Delderfield - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

1912-1940 A generation fallen. A country that will never be the same again. Nowhere in England avoids the searing loss of young men during the First World War and the remote Devon village of Shallowford is no exception. Many never return and the lives of those who do come back are changed forever. Paul Craddock must try to rebuild the estate and, with more difficulty, the bonds broken between the people who belong there. It is a time of huge social change and there are challenges in peace as hard to surmount as those of war. And before they are met, Germany once again threatens the stability of Europe and a way of life so hard won. ''Sheer, wonderful storytelling'' - Chicago Tribune

Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

*THE OUTRAGEOUS INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* The classic Michael Lewis book that defined an era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous fortune in London and New York, by the author of The Big Short and Going Infinite . What readers are saying about Liar''s Poker: ''Still has relevance today'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''Probably Michael Lewis''s best work''⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''A great insider''s look at the most important firm on Wall Street during the 1980''s'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''An absolute classic'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ __________ The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar''s Poker.Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street''s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush.From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis''s pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-80s when they were probably the world''s most powerful and profitable merchant bank.Funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, Liar''s Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, one that is now more potent and enthralling than ever. __________ ''If you thought Gordon Gekko of the Wall Street movie was an implausibly corrupt piece of fiction, see how you like the real thing. This rip-the-lid-off account of the bond-dealing brouhaha is the work of a real-life bond salesman.'' The Sunday Times ''So memorable and alive . . . one of those rare works that encapsulate and define an era.'' Fortune ''The funniest book on Wall Street I''ve ever read.''

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 EDWARD STANFORD ''FICTION WITH A SENSE OF PLACE'' AWARD Places remember us... ''An important, ambitious, and accomplished novel. Sudbanthad deftly sweeps us up in a tale that paints a twin portrait: of a megacity like those so many of us call home and of a world where sanctuary is increasingly hard to come by'' Mohsin Hamid A missionary begs to be sent home. A jazz pianist is hired to perform for ghosts. An army colonel smells the food of home for the last time. A girl designs herself a new face. An old woman uploads her consciousness.

*** SHORTLISTED FOR HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR at the FINGERPRINT AWARDS *** In the fourth rip-roaring thriller in the award-winning Malabar House series, Persis and Archie travel to the old colonial capital of Calcutta, where they collide head-on with the prejudices and bloody politics of an era engulfed in flame. ''Beautifully written and a fascinating insight into the turbulence of post independence India'' PETER MAY ''A sumptuous, brutal, heart-stopping thriller. Vaseem Khan writes with charm and wit, and an eye for detail that transports the reader entirely. I couldn''t love this series more'' CHRIS WHITAKER Can a white man receive justice in post-colonial India? Bombay, 1950 James Whitby, sentenced to death for the murder of prominent lawyer and former Quit India activist Fareed Mazumdar, is less than two weeks from a date with the gallows. In a last-ditch attempt to save his son, Whitby''s father, arch-colonialist, Charles Whitby, forces a new investigation into the killing. The investigation leads Inspector Persis Wadia of the Bombay Police to the old colonial capital of Calcutta, where, with the help of Scotland Yard criminalist Archie Blackfinch, she uncovers a possible link to a second case, the brutal murder of an African-American G.I. during the Calcutta Killings of 1946.

The result is an immensely rich book'' ALIS HAWKINS ''Tense, gripping and impressively plotted; Death of a Lesser God is historical fiction at its finest'' WILLIAM RYAN

Tunnel 29 - Helena Merriman - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Merriman excels at recreating the physicality of their experiences: the smell of dense clay, the click-clack of a woman walking down the street above in high heels... Merriman has burrowed her way deep into interviews, news reports and Stasi files to fashion an impressive real life page-turner. '' Guardian ''An audacious and compelling tale, told with narrative tension and novelistic drive, creating a fascinating portrayal of life in Berlin in the early days of the Wall.'' Observer ''A fantastic story, exceedingly well told...more gripping than a thriller. The story arc, through betrayal and disaster to triumph, is perfect...a cracking tale that deserves retelling.'' The Times ''Helena Merriman''s book is a tour de force... The chapters on the day of the escape are possibly the most suspenseful I have ever read, in fiction as well as nonfiction.'' Scotsman '' its skilful blend of a dynamic protagonist, intrigue, spooks, deception, and a love divided imbues Tunnel 29 with all the qualities of a taut Cold War spy thriller.'' Sunday Business Post ''Captivating... Ms Merriman''s well-crafted book does justice to the extraordinary bravery of her characters.'' Economist ''This new book... allows readers to slip into Joachim''s shoes as if living this extraordinary experience... This is a remarkable tale, beautifully told and utterly compelling.'' BBC History Magazine ------------------------- He''s just escaped from one of the world''s most brutal regimes. Now, he decides to tunnel back in. It''s summer, 1962, and Joachim Rudolph, a student, is digging a tunnel under the Berlin Wall. Waiting on the other side in East Berlin - dozens of men, women and children; all willing to risk everything to escape.From the award-winning creator of the acclaimed BBC Radio 4 podcast, Tunnel 29 is the true story of the most remarkable escape tunnel dug under the Berlin Wall. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with the survivors, and thousands of pages of Stasi documents, Helena Merriman brilliantly reveals the stranger-than-fiction story of the ingenious group of student-diggers, the glamorous red-haired messenger, the American News network which films the escape, and the Stasi spy who betrays it. For what Joachim doesn''t know as he burrows closer to East Germany, is that the escape operation has been infiltrated. As the escapees prepare to crawl through the cold, wet darkness, above them, the Stasi are closing in. Tunnel 29 is about what happens when people lose their freedom - and how some will do anything to win it back. Acclaim for the TUNNEL 29 podcast: ''Combining the fun of a thriller that we know will end happily with grim perspective on history and tyranny... stunning.'' New Yorker ''Reminiscent of a savvy Netflix block buster series.'' Evening Standard ''A truly exciting yarn... creates a sense for the listener of being right there in the tunnel, experiencing the dangers.'' Observer

Back in the Day - Melvyn Bragg - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Melvyn Bragg''s first ever memoir - an elegiac, intimate account of growing up in post-war Cumbria, which vividly evokes a vanished world. ''The best thing he''s ever written . . . What a world he captures here. You can almost smell it'' Rachel Cooke, Observer ''Wonderfully rich, endearing and unusual . . . a balanced, honest picture'' Richard Benson, Mail on Sunday In this elegiac and heartfelt memoir, Melvyn Bragg recreates his youth in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton: a working-class boy who expected to leave school at fifteen yet who gained a scholarship to Oxford University; who happily roamed the streets and raided orchards with his gang of friends until a breakdown in adolescence drove him to find refuge in books.Vividly evoking the post-war era, Bragg draws an indelible portrait of all that formed him: a community-spirited northern town, still steeped in the old ways; the Lake District landscapes that inspired him; and the many remarkable people in his close-knit world. ''A charming account of a lost era, full of details and often lyrical descriptions of people and places . . . fascinating and often moving'' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
