" Den bedste vikingebog siden Røde Orm !" - En konges æt er anden del af fortællingen om Ulv Palnatoke, Harald Blåtand og Sven Tveskæg. Året er 943, og Ulv Palnatoke befinder sig på Fyn. Gorm den Gamle er netop ankommet sammen med tusind krigsmænd for at understrege sit krav om at blive kongevalgt. Ulv har deltaget i Gorms voldsomme kampe og regner med, at Jellingekongen nu vil give ham slægtsjorden og ejendommene på Fyn som belønning. Men tingene går ikke helt efter Ulvs hoved, og den utålmodige Ulv vælger at tage sagen i egen hånd. Han har det bedst med at få det sidste ord og ikke mindst sværdslag, og det kommer til at få store konsekvenser for den unge Palnatoke. For at redde Ulv Palnatokes liv sender Gorm den Gamle ham på hvervetogt til Britannien sammen med sine sønner Knud Dana-Aast og Harald - for krig er uundgåelig i Gorms forsøg på at forene Skåne, Sjælland, Fyn og Jylland! En konges æt er den anden bog i fortællingen om Ulv Palnatoke og er den spændende fortsættelse til bestselleren, 1000-årsriget. Det er en fascinerende, humoristisk og barsk fortælling om en tid, hvor danerne konstant lå i krig med hinanden og utallige andre folkeslag i jagten på rigdom, skjaldenes lovprisning og evig ære - en skønlitterær fortæl- ling baseret på faktiske begivenheder. Gorm den Gamle var stamfader til det danske kongehus, og det gør ikke kun historien 1000 år gammel, men også det danske monarki til det ældste eksisterende monarki i verden.

Life at Walnut Tree Farm - Titus Rowlandson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Life at Walnut Tree Farm - Titus Rowlandson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In 1970 Roger Deakin acquired Walnut Tree Farm, a semi-ruined Elizabethan farmhouse deep in the countryside of northern Suffolk, on the edge of Mellis Green, the largest area of common grazing land in England. The house''s thatch and roof beams were rotting; pigs and hens had been its last occupants and the floors were ankle deep in shit. Leaving swinging London behind, Deakin bought the farm in a spirit of ''back to the land'' fervour; and, in the coming decades, lovingly restored it. Deakin lived here until his death in 2006, dredging the moat (in which he swam daily), planting woods and buying more of the surrounding fields, where he grew hay and wild flowers. Walnut Tree Farm became a place of pilgrimage and inspiration for nature-lovers, writers, intellectuals and artists, while Deakin''s Waterlog has become a much-loved classic of nature writing and gave impetus to the wild swimming movement. Rufus Deakin and Titus Rowlandson offer a beautifully illustrated and designed record of the development of Deakin''s rural paradise, centred on a series of photographs taken by Roger Deakin himself, which record both the rebuilding of Walnut Tree Farm, the unique character of a remarkable building, and the seasonal cycle of nature in the land and countryside that surround it.

All from a Walnut - Ammi Joan Paquette - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

All from a Walnut - Ammi Joan Paquette - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

All from a Walnut is a moving, multigenerational story about love, family roots, and the cycle of life. When Emilia finds a walnut one morning, Grandpa tells her the story behind it: of his journey across the ocean to a new home, with only one small bag and a nut in his pocket. “I planted my little tree in good brown soil, so it would grow strong here forever.” “In this house? In this yard?” “Shall we go see?” Step by step, Grandpa teaches Emilia how to cultivate her own seed. But as her little nut grows, Grandpa begins to slow down—until one sad day, Emilia has to say goodbye. Emilia’s sapling looks as droopy as she feels . . . but she knows just what to do. From acclaimed author and illustrator Ammi-Joan Paquette and Felicita Sala, this tender story is a poignant reminder that the best things grow with time—and that even when they are no longer here, the ones we love are always a part of us.

A Waterstones Best History Book 2024''Compulsively readable'' – Times Literary Supplement''An outstanding work'' – Philippa Gregory''A powerful narrative told with frankness and sensitivity'' Helen Fry, historian and author of Women In Intelligence''A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the more they are beaten, the better they’ll be.''So went the proverb quoted by a prominent MP in the Houses of Parliament in 1853. His words – intended ironically in a debate about a rise in attacks on women – summed up the prevailing attitude of the day, in which violence against women was waved away as a part and parcel of modern living – a chilling seam of misogyny that had polluted both parliament and the law. But were things about to change?In this vivid and essential work of historical non-fiction, Kate Morgan explores the legal campaigns, test cases and individual injustices of the Victorian and Edwardian eras which fundamentally re-shaped the status of women under British law. These are seen through the untold stories of women whose cases became cornerstones of our modern legal system and shine a light on the historical inequalities of the law.We hear of the uniquely abusive marriage which culminated in the dramatic story of the ‘Clitheroe wife abduction’; of the domestic tragedies which changed the law on domestic violence; the controversies surrounding the Contagious Diseases Act and the women who campaigned to abolish it; and the real courtroom stories behind notorious murder cases such as the ‘Camden Town Murder’.Exploring the 19th- and early 20th Century legal history that influenced the modern-day stances on issues such as domestic abuse, sexual violence and divorce, The Walnut Treelifts the lid on the shocking history of women under British law – and what it means for women today.

En konges vej, del 2 - Brandon Sanderson - Bog - Ulven og Uglen - Plusbog.dk

”Far,” sagde Adolin, mens han gik frem og tilbage i Dalinars opholdsstue. ”Dette er vanvittigt.” ”Det er sandelig passende,” svarede Dalinar tørt. ”Da jeg – lader det til – også selv er det.” ”Jeg har aldrig hævdet, at du var vanvittig.” ”Rent faktisk,” konstaterede Renarin, ”mener jeg nu nok, at du gjorde.” De tre var alene i Dalinars opholdsstue og afventede dagens højstorms komme. Der var gået en uge, siden Dalinar havde gjort sine sønner bekendt med sin plan om at træde tilbage som Højfyrste. Dalinar ser syner, og hans fjender griner af ham bag hans ryg. Hans sønner frygter for hans helbred. Der er kun en løsning: at træde tilbage som Højfyrste. Shallans brødre sælger familiens ejendele og holder de kreditorer hen, som de kan. Men tiden løber ud. Shallan må snart eksekvere deres plan, eller overlade sin familie til dens dystre skæbne. Jo længere tid hun arbejder for Jasnah, jo mere elsker hun sit nye liv, og tyveriet vil sætte alting over styr. Nederst i samfundet kæmper Kaladin for at overleve, for at samle Bro 4 og for at finde en vej ud af deres dødsdom. Men hans overordnede har bemærket ham, og når man er bromand, er det det sidste, man ønsker. En konges vej del 2 er anden del af den danske oversættelse af Brandon Sandersons episke serie Stormlysfortællingerne .

The Walnut Mansion - Miljenko Jergovic - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Walnut Mansion - Miljenko Jergovic - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

An epic novel of twentieth-century Balkan life, from the decline of the Ottoman Empire through the bloodshed of the Bosnian War This grand novel encompasses nearly all of Yugoslavia’s tumultuous twentieth century, from the decline of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires through two world wars, the rise and fall of communism, the breakup of the nation, and the terror of the shelling of Dubrovnik. Tackling universal themes on a human scale, master storyteller Miljenko Jergovic traces one Yugoslavian family’s tale as history irresistibly casts the fates of five generations. What is it to live a life whose circumstances are driven by history? Jergovic investigates the experiences of a compelling heroine, Regina Delavale, and her many family members and neighbors. Telling Regina’s story in reverse chronology, the author proceeds from her final days in 2002 to her birth in 1905, encountering along the way such traumas as atrocities committed by Nazi Ustashe Croats and the death of Tito. Lyrically written and unhesitatingly told, The Walnut Mansion may be read as an allegory of the tragedy of Yugoslavia’s tormented twentieth century.

Den svenske konges hemmelige marmeladeopskrift - Knud Romer - Bog - Lindhardt og Ringhof - Plusbog.dk

16 magiske fortællinger om kunst og kærlighed – og længslen efter det uopnåelige. Tag med på en rejse fra Frederiksstaden til Nykøbing Falster med en indbygget pilgrimsfærd til Irans Mashad-moské og en afstikker til Avenue de New York i Paris. Undervejs møder vi otte nonnesøstre, Tosse-Johanne, en omrejsende pianist og sågar H.C. Andersens genfærd. Vi ser det sne over guldalderens København i "Kirurgens vindue" og går ind i en anden tid i "Den trettende måned", hvor alting kan ske uden nogensinde at have fundet sted. Tiggeren får sit højeste ønske opfyldt og taget fra sig igen i det øjeblik, hvor mønten bliver stjålet i "Ønskebrønden" – og "Misteltenen" lader misteltener springe ud på alle byens træer i det kys, som den hjemløse aldrig fik. "Århundredmiddagen" fortæller om den aldrende, surrealistiske kunstner Leonora Carrington, der bliver forført af en forelsket, ung mand fra auktionshuset Sotheby's med en middag, hvor alle retter og vine er over hundrede år gamle – og ophæver deres alder i kærlighed. "Den forstenede syndflod" tager os tilbage i en ekspedition til bibelsk tid og bjerget Ararat, hvor arken stødte på grund – og vi finder vores egen, begravede barndom. "Den flyvende tøffel" fortæller romaernes historie fra en spåkones campingvogn i Damhus Tivoli og hele vejen tilbage til massakrerne under Anden verdenskrig i Serbien. Sådan tager den ene novelle efter den anden os ind i et magisk rum med vores største smerte og længsel, barndom og alderdom, og demonstrerer den kraft, som selve historiefortællingen rummer.
