I 1919 er verdenskrigen som har ødelagt og ruinert Europa, endelig over. I Italia er store deler av befolkningen utmattet - lei av politikere, lei av vage løfter og lei av det demokratiske renkespillet som svikter vanlige folk. Mens landets elite sitter passiv og ser på, oppildner én mann - lederen for en mindre opposisjonell avis og en utrettelig politisk agitator - massene med løfter om endring. Han er en tidligere sosialistleder som er blitt drevet ut av sitt eget parti, en som vet hva det vil si å føle seg fortapt. Han snakker på vegne av de utstøtte og de avviste, han lover å beskytte alle dem som er glemt. Han er Benito Mussolini.I M - århundrets sønn forteller Antonio Scurati historien om mannen som hans følgere kjenner som Il Duce, den skremmende karismatiske skikkelsen som skulle bli en av de mest beryktede diktatorene i forrige århundre. Romanen er gjennomsyret av historiske detaljer, samt sitater fra samtidige dokumenter og kilder. Den utforsker den forførende kraften i nasjonalisme og persondyrkelse, og avdekker hvordan en nasjon gradvis føyde seg etter viljen til en hensynsløs despot.M - århundrets sønn er en uhyggelig påminnelse om at fortiden aldri tar slutt, og at den har alvorlige lærdommer å gi oss i dagens verden, der vi ser en skremmende oppblomstring av det samme populistiske tankegodset.Dette er første bind i et omfattende litterært verk om Mussolini, og spenner over årene 1919 til 1924.«En mesterlig historisk beretning, et portrett av Benito Mussolini som er desto mer presist og mektig siden det er basert på fakta.» - Le Figaro«En ubestridelig litterær bragd.» - El Paìs«Likner en politisk thriller, overraskende moderne. Må leses.» - Die Zeit«Romanen Italia har ventet på. Et mesterverk.» - Roberto Saviano«Hvem var Mussolini, og hvem var mennene som omga ham? ... Alle antifascister gjør klokt i å lese og lære av denne boka.» - Jonas Bals, Klassekampen

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME ∙ The New York Times ∙ Goodreads ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Today ∙ Paste ∙ SheReads ∙ BookPage ∙ Woman's World ∙ The Nerd Daily and more!A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

'Dostoyevsky's finest masterpiece' John BayleyDostoyevsky's great novel of damnation and redemption evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur. It tells the story of Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, who wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be beyond conventional moral laws. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.
