    • Mała książka o śmierci to bardzo poważne i... niepoważne rozmyślania o śmierci. Jak wygląda martwy człowiek? Co się z nami dzieje po śmierci? Czy idziemy do nieba? A może człowiek po śmierci zamienia się w szkielet, który straszy dzieci po nocach? Pernilla Stalfelt z ogromnym wyczuciem, powagą, a jednocześnie odpowiednią dozą humoru odpowiada na wszystkie te pytania, które nurtują dzieci nie od dzisiaj. Książka przybliża i oswaja to najbardziej pewne w życiu wydarzenie, o którym tak trudno mówić. Ta świetna i ciekawie napisana książeczka uświadamia najmłodszym czytelnikom i czytelniczkom, iż wcześniej czy później wszystko, co żywe umiera. A może śmierć mimo wszystko wcale nie jest taka okropna?

      One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call-out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death, his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body, both victims of a violence beyond reason. The woman supplies Wallander with his only clue: the perpetrators may have been foreign. When this is leaked to the press, it unleashes racial hatred. Kurt Wallander is a senior police officer. His life is a shambles. His wife has left him, his daughter refuses to speak to him, and even his aging father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly, eats badly, and drinks his night away in a lonely, neglected flat. But now, with winter tightening and his activities being monitored by a tough-minded district attorney, Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time and against mounting xenophobia.

    • Ta, kterou jsem se nestala, je zatím posledním románem švédské novinářky, reportérky a spisovatelky Majgull Axelssonové, která se celou svou tvorbou snaží upozornit na palčivé problémy setkávání bohatého a chudého světa. Její nejnovější dílo je příběhem rozdvojené identity, jejíž různé podoby se odvíjejí od rozhodující volby ve vypjatém životním okamžiku. Vyprávění o vině, vraždě, milosti a odpuštění je zasazeno na jedné straně do světa vysoké politiky, na straně druhé do vězeňského prostředí, bídy prostitutek a hrabivosti pasáků. V neposlední řadě je to i příběh o veliké touze po lásce a sounáležitosti. Kniha byla navržena na prestižní Cenu Severské rady za literaturu.
