National bestseller2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist ABA Indies Introduce Winter / Spring 2017 Selection Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Spring 2017 Selection ALA 2018 Notable Books Selection An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family's journey from war-torn Vietnam, from debut author Thi Bui. This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent-the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls "e;a book to break your heart and heal it,"e; The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui's journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.

De dødes Rige var med til at give Henrik Pontoppidan Nobelprisen i 1917. Det er en stor kollektivroman, hvor de fleste hovedpersoner økonomisk set befinder sig på livets solside. Forfatteren forstår på en fin måde at lade dem mødes på forskellig vis, selv om de fleste egentlig ikke har ret meget med hinanden at gøre. Samlet set giver romanen et fantastisk kulturhistorisk billede af det danske samfund omkring 1910. Selve bogens handling er fiktion, men flere af tidens store personligheder har tjent som model for i alt fald en del af personerne. Nærværende udgave af bogen holder sig strengt til udgaven fra 1922, men den er redigeret med nænsom hånd for at hjælpe nutidens læsere. Retskrivningen er moderniseret, ordstilling og tegnsætning er undertiden ændret en smule, og så er en lang række gammeldags ord erstattet af nye. Derfor kan denne bog læses af alle.

Henrik Pontoppidan giver i fem forunderlige noveller et skarpt billede af en lang række sociale forhold i Danmark omkring 1880. Vi møder de fattige husmænd, de rige gårdejere, og præsterne som er noget for sig. Mest forunderlig er måske historien om to forskellige strandinger. De sker med mange års mellemrum, men ligheden er i grunden ganske forfærdelig. Ved den sidste stranding befinder vi os endda i det, som Pontoppidan et andet sted kalder for fremskridtets og humanitetens århundrede.

Benjamin Jacobsen (1915-1990) var en dansk forfatter, der blev særlig kendt for sine humoristiske skildringer af borgerskabet. Benjamin Jacobsen udgav både romaner, noveller og digte. Romanen "Midt i en Klunketid" fra 1955 dannede desuden grundlag for filmlystspillet "Krudt og klunker" fra 1958. "Befriende. En menage uden lige og en perlekæde af lystige indfald. Den rene vederkvægelse." -Bris, BT "Benjamin Jacobsens fiktive erindringer fra Christian IX’s København er fulde af barokke episoder, skalkestykker og skarnstreger. Benjamin Jacobsen er en sjovskribent og hans bog vil være guf for grinebidere."
