THE FINAL NOVEL FROM THE MASTER STORYTELLER

Jeffrey Archerin mestariteos vallasta, kohtalosta ja naisesta, joka kieltäytyy hyväksymästä hänelle annettua roolia. Florentyna Rosnovski syntyy maailmaan, jossa valta on miesten käsissä. Hänen isänsä Abel on menestynyt hotelliyrittäjä, jonka elämää varjostaa kauna ja kostonhimo Kanen pankkiirisukua kohtaan. Florentyna on Abelin tavoin kunnianhimoinen ja jo yksitoistavuotiaana hänellä on selkeä tavoite – hänestä tulee Yhdysvaltojen ensimmäinen naispresidentti. Aikuisena Florentyna huomaa, että politiikka on armoton miesten maailma, jossa ovet eivät helpolla avaudu. Poliittisen juonittelun ja ennakkoluulojen keskellä Florentyna rakastuu mieheen, jota hänen ei koskaan olisi pitänyt rakastaa: Richard Kaneen, vihollissuvun perilliseen. Minkä hinnan hän joutuu maksamaan vallasta ja rakkaudesta? Tuhlaajatytär on mukaansatempaava itsenäinen jatko-osa Archerin menestysteokselle ”Kane ja Abel”.

Danny Cartwright er fast besluttet på at tage iskold hævn over de mænd, som er skyld i hans bedste vens død. De har fået sat ham bag tremmer i 22 år for en forbrydelse, han ikke har begået. De har forhindret ham i at gifte sig med Beth og berøvet ham muligheden for at opdrage datteren Christy. Én efter én piller han dem ned. Alle har undervurderet Dannys hævntørst og Beths stålsatte stræben efter retfærdighed. SLÆGTENS LÆNKER er en episk fortælling om at stå på sin ret, om hævn og om at tvinge sig fri af en forudbestemt skæbne. "Hvis der var en nobelpris i fortællekunst, ville Archer få den." Daily Telegraph

Tositapahtumiin perustuva historiallinen romaani miehestä, Mount Everestistä ja unelmasta, josta tuli legenda. George Mallory on nuori, älykäs ja kunnianhimoinen - 1900-luvun alun Cambridgen tähti. Malloryn elämässä on kaksi suurta rakkautta: vaimo Ruth ja vuoret. Vuosien kuluessa lupaava akateemikko hylkää luentosalit yhä uudelleen tavoitellakseen vaarallisimpia korkeuksia. Kunniaikkaampana Malloryn ajatuksissa siintää Everest, jonka huippua kukaan ei ole vielä saavuttanut. Mallory lähtee Everestille kolme kertaa, tietäen, ettei vuorelta kenties ole paluuta. Jokaisella nousulla panokset kovenevat - ja jokainen askel vie hänet kauemmas Ruthista ja turvallisesta elämästä, jonka hän olisi voinut valita. Viimeinen nousu on vaikuttava elämäkerrallinen romaani legendaarisesta vuorikiipeilijä George Mallorysta (1886-1924), unelman hinnasta ja luonnonvoimista, joita ihminen ei voi hallita. Jeffrey Archer on yksi kaikkien aikojen menestyneimmistä kirjailijoista. Hänen teoksiaan on käännetty 47 kielelle ja ne ovat myyneet yli 300 miljoonaa kappaletta. Archer on poikkeuksellisen monipuolinen kirjailija, joka taitaa niin historialliset romaanit ja jännityskirjat kuin tietokirjallisuuden. ”Kenties aikamme merkittävin tarinankertoja” - The Times

Historiallinen romaani maailman tunnetuimmasta petoksesta - miten uskollisesta ystävästä tulee kavaltaja? Ympäri Galilean leviää huhuja ihmetekoihin kykenevästä Jeesus Nasaretilaisesta. Messiasta odottavassa Israelissa Jeesus saa nopeasti seuraajia, joista yksi on Juudas Iskariot. Juudas näkee Jeesuksen parantavan sairaita ja vastustavan roomalaisten miehitysvallan korruptoimia juutalaisia johtajia. Miehen viisaus ja armo koskettavat Juudasta syvästi, ja hänestä tulee Jeesuksen läheisimpiä opetuslapsia. Juudasta hämmentävät kuitenkin Jeesuksen ennustukset omasta kuolemastaan, ja ohikulkijan pahaenteiset sanat kylvävät epäilyksen siemenen. Jeesuksen kumoukselliset opetukset keräävät vihamiehiä, ja pääsiäisen lähestyessä käy selväksi, ettei rakastetun opettajan henki ole turvassa. Mihin ratkaisuihin päätyy uskossaan horjuva Juudas? Juudaksen evankeliumi on ajatuksia herättävä uudelleentulkinta Raamatun halveksituimman miehen tarinasta. Evankeliumin muotoon kirjoitettu teos on syntynyt mestarikertoja Jeffrey Archerin ja katolilaisen tutkijan Francis J. Moloneyn yhteistyönä.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem’s personal story is also a history of modern Dubai, whose economic miracle he has played a central role in developing for more than 40 years. In this memoir he recalls in candid detail the trials and triumphs of his colourful and successful career. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is the chairman CEO of DP World, which he founded 25 years ago and which now handles 11.5 per cent of world trade, more than $3.7 trillion of goods every year. At its heart is the port of Jebel Ali. Dismissed as a ‘white elephant’ when bin Sulayem joined as a humble customs official in 1982, it is currently ranked fifth in the world as a commercial maritime shipping centre. This is the story of a remarkable man who has played a central role in Dubai’s unprecedented economic success over the past 40 years. Bin Sulayem offers a new insight into the visionary genius of the Maktoum family, particularly Sheikh Rashid and his son Sheikh Mohammed, the present Ruler, to whom he gives much of the credit for Dubai’s success. Many of the most iconic developments originated in the Ruler’s fertile mind, and it was bin Sulayem who brought them to life. Until now bin Sulayem has remained a deeply private person, but in this candid and often moving autobiography, he discloses secrets from his childhood that were revealed to him only days before his father died. He also reflects on his education in America, his own personal challenges as a father and, ultimately, the ingenuity and skills he needed to overcome many obstacles in a lifetime of extraordinary achievement. There were many crises along the way, and bin Sulayem gives a frank and open account of the impact of the 2008–9 financial crash on the Dubai economy, as well as on him personally. He was widely criticised for expanding too fast on borrowed money, but within a year Dubai had bounced back stronger than ever – a central theme of bin Sulayem’s book, as alluded to in the title, is that the billions Dubai borrowed have created trillions in trade.

I 1999 fandt man blot 700 meter fra toppen af Mount Everest det dybfrosne lig af den legendariske engelske bjergbestiger George Mallory, der forsvandt i 1924. Tre gange forsøgte han at bestige verdens højeste bjerg, tredje gang blev ulykkens gang. Både han og hans klatremakker Andrew Irvine omkom på bjerget. Liget af Irvine er aldrig blevet fundet, heller ikke Mallorys kamera. Måske indeholder det billeder fra toppen og dermed beviset for, at Mallory blev den første på verdens tag næsten 30 år før Sir Edmund Hillary. ÆRENS VEJE er den dramatiske historie om George Mallory, født i 1886 og uddannet på Cambridge University. Han kæmpede på Vestfronten under Første Verdenskrig, og var hele sit liv en fænomenal bjergbestiger. På spørgsmålet om, hvorfor han ville bestige Mount Everest, svarede han: ”Fordi det ligger der.””Hvis der var en nobelpris i fortællekunst, ville Archer få den.” Daily Telegraph
