Hvad gør man, når verden ændrer sig, og man ikke selv har mulighed for at følge med? Når flertallet slår ind på en vej, som man ikke har lyst til at følge - eller er afskåret fra at følge? Når de ideer, man troede på, eller den virksomhed, man har investeret sine penge i, ikke længere rummer håb om en bedre fremtid, men trusler om udstødelse af fællesskabet - eller det, der er værre? Sejrherren skriver historien, siger man. Denne bog handler om nogle af dem, som troede, at de var på sejrherrens side under Danmarks besættelse 1940-45. Eller måske troede de bare, at de var på fremskridtets side? At fremtiden tilhørte Tyskland og nazismen? At det gjaldt om ikke at komme for sent til toget? Nordværk var en maskinfabrik i København, som i 1943 fik en stor entreprise med at reparere flymotorer for BMW i München. Motorer til tyske jagerfly. For de to ejere - en fabrikant og en sagfører - var det en chance for at foretage et kvantespring fra beskedent maskinværksted til stor industrivirksomhed. En chance som alle forretningsfolk drømmer om. Omkring fabrikken samlede sig et miljø af arbejdere, kontorfolk og sabotagevagter. For Nordværk var selvfølgelig et oplagt sabotagemål. Men vagterne var veltrænede og velmotiverede. Mange var nazister og havde tidligere kæmpet som soldater på den tyske østfront. Og da Nordværk lukkede i efteråret 1944, gled mange af dem videre til anden tyske tjeneste. Som meddelere, der lyttede til snakken på gaden, i sporvognen og på værtshuse. Eller som ansatte i det nye hjælpepoliti Hipo. Vi følger folkene omkring Nordværk i romanens form. Lærer deres tanker og overvejelser at kende. Med digterisk frihed, men med basis i det store kildemateriale, der er bevaret. For den, der vil vide, hvor meget der er digtet til, gennemgås kilderne afsnit for afsnit.

***FINALIST FOR THE 2020 PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD****** NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR ***A major graphic novel event more than 18 years in progress: part one of the ongoing bifurcated masterwork from the brilliant and beloved author of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth and Building Stories.Rusty Brown is a fully interactive, full-color articulation of the time-space interrelationships of three complete consciousnesses in the first half of a single midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit. A sprawling, special snowflake accumulation of the biggest themes and the smallest moments of life, Rusty Brown literately and literally aims at nothing less than the coalescence of one half of all of existence into a single museum-quality picture story, expertly arranged to present the most convincingly ineffable and empathetic illusion of experience for both life-curious readers and traditional fans of standard reality. From childhood to old age, no frozen plotline is left unthawed in the entangled stories of a child who awakens without superpowers, a teen who matures into a paternal despot, a father who stores his emotional regrets on the surface of Mars and a late-middle-aged woman who seeks the love of only one other person on planet Earth.

“Mooncakes is spellbinding. It had everything I love in a story—magic that felt inventive, characters that became my friends, and a romance that felt truly authentic. It was one of those books that I was sad to see end. Luckily, I can always reread.” —Tillie Walden, creator of Spinning and On a Sunbeam "Mooncakes transported me to a gorgeous magical realm that I never want to leave, and introduced me to lovable characters who stuck with me long after I finished reading. This graphic novel is the joyful fantasy romance we all need right now, and it might just restore your faith in magic." —Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky “Mooncakes is heartwarming, playful and absolutely magical! A story about love and family, with a kind and powerful core that radiates through the vibrant cast of characters.” —Katie O''Neill, author of The Tea Dragon Society and Princess Princess Ever After A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers’ bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.

Henrik Pontoppidan er en af de få danskere, der har fået Nobelprisen, og hans lille roman "Isbjørnen", der er fuld af humor, er noget af det mest finurlige, der nogensinde er skrevet på dansk. Hovedpersonen er Thorkild Müller, i sin barndom og ungdom den fødte taber, som mod sin egen vilje bestod den teologiske uddannelse uden at have læst overhovedet. Så blev han præst på Grønland og en sand vinder. Han rejste senere til Danmark, blev landsbypræst og ... Det er en fantastisk historie, der fremrulles i "Isbjørnen", og så viser det sig, at den rent faktisk har en historisk kerne. Pontoppidan har nemlig selv fortalt, at modellen til Thorkild Müller var en af faderens gamle studenterkammerater, som under et besøg havde fortalt om sine grønlandske oplevelser. Senere forskning har godtgjort, at det var Morten Fabricius Dan Hammer, som var præst i Kongerslev 1857-74. Det skal understreges, at Henrik Pontoppidan ikke selv har mødt sin hovedperson, og at hans formål var at skrive en god fortælling og ikke en historisk korrekt beretning.
