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.

Lykke-Per er den store samtidshistoriske roman, som giver et levende billede af Danmark for lidt over 100 år siden. Vi kommer ind under huden på både de fattige, de almindelige og de rige københavnere. Vi møder på samme måde livet i provinsen og adskillige steder i Europa. Vi befinder os i en periode, hvor de tekniske fremskridt foregår i fuldt firspring, og bogens hovedperson, den unge fremstormende Per, føler sig kaldet til at være med i dansen om guldkalven. Moralen må derfor komme i anden række. Nærværende udgave holder sig strengt til udgaven fra 1905, men retskrivningen er moderniseret, ordstillingen og tegnsætningen er undertiden ændret en smule, og en lang række gammeldags ord er erstattet af nye. Derfor kan denne bog læses af alle.

Efter Struensees henrettelse i 1772 regeres Danmark af kupmagerne: enkedronning Juliane Marie, hendes søn, arveprins Frederik, og kabinetssekretæren Ove Høegh-Guldberg. I 1784 begår den 16-årige kronprins Frederik – Christian den 7.s søn med Caroline Mathilde – et modkup, der vælter dette triumvirat. Tiden herefter præges af reformer. I 1788 underskriver statsrådet landboreformerne, som resulterer i stavnsbåndets ophævelse, der besegles ved nedlæggelse af grundstenen til Frihedsstøtten i 1792. De to overlevende fra branden på Daneborg i 1771 er den purunge Karen Dane og hendes far Frederik. Karen kæmper med sin sorg og sit savn af faderen, der for det meste opholder sig i København. Det bliver derfor hende, der må styre genopbygningen af godset. Bøndernes hårde vilkår har hun set på nært hold, og hun er ikke i tvivl: De skal være frie! Karen er en ensom og særpræget pige, og undervejs må hun slås med kærlighedslivet – en dyb hemmelighed følger hende i årevis. Men ukueligt fortsætter Karen sin seje kamp for sin egen og sine bønders frigørelse.

***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.
