**NOW A MAJOR GLOBAL NETFLIX ADAPTATION** **THE INTERNATIONAL NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER** 'Written with heart and great appeal' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A coming-of-age-story to be loved everywhere in the world' FREDRIK BACKMAN, author of A MAN CALLED OVE 'Has struck a chord worldwide' NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ___________________________________________ The international sensation: the story of a young Sámi girl's coming-of-age, and a powerful fable about family, identity and justice Nine-year-old Elsa lives just north of the Arctic Circle. She and her family are Sámi - Scandinavia's indigenous people - and make their living herding reindeer. One morning when Elsa goes skiing alone, she witnesses a man brutally killing her reindeer calf, Nástegallu. Elsa recognises the man but refuses to tell anyone - least of all the Swedish police force - about what she saw. Instead, she carries her secret as a dark weight on her heart. Elsa comes of age fighting two wars: one within her community, where male elders expect young women to know their place; and against the ever-escalating wave of prejudice and violence against the Sámi. When Elsa finds herself the target of the man who killed her reindeer calf all those years ago, something inside of her finally breaks. The guilt, fear, and anger she's been carrying since childhood come crashing over her like an avalanche, and will lead Elsa to a final catastrophic confrontation.

The brand-new adventure from the beloved author of The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.

Freuen Sie sich darauf, was diesem herrlich verrückten Autor für seine neue Protagonistin eingefallen ist!Die aberwitzige Geschichte der jungen Afrikanerin Nombeko, die zwar nicht lesen kann, aber ein Rechengenie ist, fast zufällig bei der Konstruktion nuklearer Sprengköpfe mithilft und nebenbei Verhandlungen mit den Mächtigen der Welt führt. Nach einem besonders brisanten Geschäft setzt sie sich nach Schweden ab, wo ihr die große Liebe begegnet. Das bringt nicht nur ihr eigenes Leben, sondern gleich die gesamte Weltpolitik durcheinander...Spitzzüngig und mit viel schwarzem Humor rechnet Jonasson in seinem neuesten Roman mit dem Fundamentalismus in all seinen Erscheinungsformen ab. Eine grandiose Geschichte, die dem »Hundertjährigen« an überbordenden Einfällen, skurrilen Wendungen und unvergesslichem Charme in nichts nachsteht!

It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they're not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un

It's always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it's particularly awkward because the money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven, and he has not taken the news too well... Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains and many crates of Moldovan red wine, 'Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All' is an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson's previous bestsellers.
