This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...
The second installment of the internationally best selling Erik Winter series It's August and the annual Gothenburg Party is in full swing. But this year the bacchanalian blowout is simmering with ethnic discord spurred by nativist gangs. When a woman is found murdered in the park-her identity as inscrutable as the blood-red symbol on the tree above her body-Winter's search for her missing child leads him from sleek McMansions to the Gothenburg fringes, where "northern suburbs" is code for "outsider" and the past is inescapable-even for Sweden's youngest chief inspector. Psychologically gripping and socially astute, The Shadow Woman puts this master of Swedish noir on track to build an American audience on par with his international fame.

An emerging pattern suggests that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands, and the five-pointed devils star is key to solving the riddle.

Repräsentationen sozialer Ungleichheiten in Literatur und Film werfen die Frage auf, wer was wie darstellt – eine Problematik, die sich für Narrative, Fiktionen und Figurationen wie für die analytischen Betrachtung von Mediendarstellungen und öffentlichen Diskursen gleichermaßen stellt. Schon die traditionelle Literatur, die immer auch als ein Archiv sozialer Erfahrung aufgefasst werden kann, unterliegt stilistischen, thematischen und genretypischen Bindungen, die epochenweise unterlaufen oder konterkariert wurden. Allerdings verraten die Zugangsbedingungen zu Bildung sowie zu kanonischer Literaturproduktion und -rezeption auch in der Moderne sowie der jüngsten Gegenwart soziale Ungl...

I en banklokal i Oslo har chefen fått 25 sekunder på sig att tömma bankvalvet. Han misslyckas och rånaren skjuter en kvinnlig anställd. Trots att allt finns på video står Oslopolisen handfallen inför det brutala mordet. Samtidigt kallas Harry Hole till en annan brottsplats som visar sig vara exflickvännens lägenhet. Nu är hon död, och Harrys ärkefiende Tom Waaler är inte sen att utnyttja det faktum att Harry var den som sist såg den unga kvinnan i livet. Oslo skakas av fler bankrån och Harrys desperata jakt på sanningen för honom till en by i Brasilien och tillbaka till sitt eget mörka förflutna.
I et banklokale i Oslo sentrum setter en bankraner geværet til hodet på en kvinnelig ansatt og gir filialsjefen 20 sekunder på å låse opp og tømme minibanken. Han bruker 26. Raneren viser seks fingre i overvåkningskameraet og trekker av. Førstebetjent Harry Hole får saken? og blir straks direkte berørt da hans gamle flamme Anna blir funnet død i sin låste leilighet. Alt tyder på selvmord. Den eneste som kan hjelpe politiet med å finne den morderiske raneren, er Raskolnikov, en sigøyner og mytisk bankraner som sitter i fengsel etter å ha meldt seg selv. Så slår raneren til igjen. En fortelling om rettferdighet, om hevn og om å kjøpslå med djevelen.
