Vzjav na sebja zabotu o malchikakh i devochkakh Borga, Britt-Mari nevolno vnikaet vo vse tonkosti poselkovoj zhizni.

Folk med angst er en komedie om et gisseldrama på en visning. En mislykket bankraner låser seg inne sammen med en overentusiastisk eiendomsmegler, to bitre Ikea-misbrukere, en høygravid kvinne, en suicidal mangemillionær og et kaninhode. Til slutt gir raneren opp og frigir alle gislene, men når politiet stormer leiligheten er den tom …I en serie dysfunksjonelle vitneavhør etterpå får vi høre alles versjon av hva som egentlig skjedde. Derfra utvikler det seg til et klassisk puslespill-mysterium rundt spørsmålene: Hvordan lyktes raneren med å flykte? Hvorfor er alle så sinte? Og hva er det egentlig som er feil med folk nå for tiden? Fredrik Backman i storform!

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove shares an irresistible and moving collection of heartfelt, humorous essays about fatherhood, providing his newborn son with the perspective and tools he'll need to make his way in the world. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World collects the personal dispatches from the front lines of one of the most daunting experiences any man can experience: fatherhood. As he conveys his profound awe at experiencing all the "firsts" that fill him with wonder and catch him completely unprepared, Fredrik Backman doesn't shy away from revealing his own false steps and fatherly flaws, tackling issues both great and small, from masculinity and mid-life crises to practical jokes and poop. In between the sleep-deprived lows and wonderful highs, Backman takes a step back to share the true story of falling in love with a woman who is his complete opposite, and learning to live a life that revolves around the people you care about unconditionally. Alternating between humorous side notes and longer essays offering his son advice as he grows up and ventures out into the world, Backman relays the big and small lessons in life, including: -How to find the team you belong to -Why airports explain everything about religion and war -The reason starting a band is crucial to cultivating and keeping friendships -How to beat Monkey Island 3 -Why, sometimes, a dad might hold onto his son's hand just a little too tight This is an irresistible and insightful collection, perfect for new parents and fans of Backman's "unparalleled understanding of human nature" (Shelf Awareness). As he eloquently reminds us, "You can be whatever you want to be, but that's nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are."

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Beartown returns with an unforgettable novel "about people--about strength and tribal loyalty and what we unwittingly do when trying to show our boys how to be men" (Jojo Moyes). Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. Have you ever seen a town rise? Ours did that, too. A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. No matter how difficult times get, they've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team. So it's a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach and a chance at a comeback. Soon a team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the town's enmity with Hed grows more and more acute. As the big game approaches, the not-so-innocent pranks and incidents between the communities pile up and their mutual contempt intensifies. By the time the last goal is scored, a resident of Beartown will be dead, and the people of both towns will be forced to wonder if, after everything, the game they love can ever return to something as simple and innocent as a field of ice, two nets, and two teams. Us against you. Here is a declaration of love for all the big and small, bright and dark stories that give form and color to our communities. With immense compassion and insight, Fredrik Backman--"the Dickens of our age" (Green Valley News)--reveals how loyalty, friendship, and kindness can carry a town through its most challenging days.

”Et lille mirakel. En gribende og rørende fortælling om tiden, der en dag rinder ud for os alle.” Blekinge Läns Tidning Farfar og Noah sidder på en bænk ved et lille torv og snakker. Farfar og Noah kan tale om alt. Om livets spørgsmål, stort og småt, matematik, hyacinter og om at vokse op. Farfar fortæller Noah om dengang, han blev forelsket i farmor, og hvordan det var at miste hende mange år senere. For kort tid siden. Han kan stadig se hende lyslevende for sig. Men noget er anderledes, end det plejer. For mens farfars erindringer bliver mere og mere fjerne, rykker det øjeblik, hvor hukommelsen glemmer, tættere på, og det, der sker her og nu på bænken, bliver vigtigere. “Tusind og nok et tusind og flere følelser. En uforglemmelig fortælling om, hvordan det er at glemme, at man har glemt.” Sydsvenskan ”En fortælling, som bør nydes og genlæses, om en dreng, hans far og farfar, der prøver at sige farvel.” San Francisco Chronicle, US

Fans of Beartown and A Man Called Ove will love this festive novella, from the 13 million copy internationally bestselling author. ________It is Christmas Eve and a father and son are meeting for the first time in years. The father has a story he needs to share before it's too late. As he tells his son about a courageous little girl lying in a hospital bed a few miles away, he reveals even more about himself; his triumphs in business, his failures as a parent, his past regrets, his hopes for the future. Now, on this night before Christmas, the father has been given the unexpected chance to do something remarkable that could change the destiny of a little girl he hardly knows. But before he can make the deal of a lifetime, he must find out what his own life has actually been worth, and only his son can reveal the answer. With humour and compassion, Fredrik Backman's novella The Deal of a Lifetime reminds us that life is a fleeting gift, and our legacies rest in how we share that gift with those we love.

«En fortelling med stor dramatikk og sterke følelser, en av årets beste skjønnlitterære bøker.» DagenBjørnstad er den første delen i en serie om et lite sted med store drømmer. Den handler om unge jenters udødelige vennskap, og om unge gutter som spiller hockey med en hel bygds forventninger hvilende på sine skuldre. Men det handler også om en uoppklart forbrytelse, om hvor raskt et samfunn kan lære seg å lukke øynene og om de forferdelige tingene vi iblant er villige til å gjøre for å oppnå suksess. Midt i alt dette står Peter, som flytter hjem etter livet som hockeyproff for å bygge opp det lokale laget, og Mira som slites mellom advokatkarrieren og et stille liv i skogen som kone og mor. Dette er en fortelling om idrett og familieliv, og om hvor langt vi er villige til å gå for å beskytte barna våre.
