DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH The first novel in the worldwide bestselling series by Suzanne Collins In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, The Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.

And the Capitol wants revenge. Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

Hungerspelen är tillbaka! I "Balladen om sångfåglar och ormar" följer vi händelserna som skedde 64 år innan Hungerspelen-trilogin utspelar sig. Det är morgonen inför slåtterdagens ceremoni, som kommer inleda de tionde hungerspelen. I huvudstaden förbereder sig artonårige Coriolanus Snow inför sitt uppdrag som mentor i spelen. En chans att återfå berömmelse och inflytande. Den en gång så mäktiga ätten Snow har nämligen sjunkit ner i en djup ekonomisk kris, och nu hänger hela familjens framtid på Coriolanus möjlighet att charma, utmanövrera och besegra sina klasskamrater. Så att just hans spelare går vinnande ur hungerspelen. Men oddsen är emot honom. Han blir tilldelad det förnedrande uppdraget att vara mentor åt en flickspelare från Distrikt 12, sämst av de sämsta. Deras öde ligger nu i varandras händer — varje val som Coriolanus gör kan leda till framgång eller fall, triumf eller förintelse. Inne på arenan väntar en kamp på liv eller död. Men utanför arenan börjar Coriolanus få sympati för sin spelare … och tvingas tumma på spelreglerna i sin strävan att överleva. Till varje pris. Med "Balladen om sångfåglar och ormar" tar Suzanne Collins upp viktiga och ständigt aktuella frågor om auktoritet, våldsanvändning och vad som egentligen definierar att vara människa.

Brennende ambisiøs. Besatt av konkurranse. Men makt har sin pris. Det er dagen for uttaket til de tiende Dødslekene. I Capitol håper Coriolanus Snow at han vil få sjansen til heder og ære ved å bli mentor i Lekene. Den en gang så mektige Snow-familien lider, skjebnen deres er avhengig av den lille sjansen Coriolanus har fått - til å sjarmere, overliste og utmanøvrere sine medstudenter. Alt for å bli mentor for den vinnende deltakeren. Oddsen er imot ham. Han ble tildelt jenta fra Distrikt 12, det laveste av det lave. Deres skjebner er nå sammenflettet – hvert valg Coriolanus tar kan føre til en fordel eller fiasko, triumf eller ruin. Inne på arenaen vil det bli en kamp til døden. På utsiden, begynner Coriolanus å føle noe for sin dødsdømte deltaker … og han må veie nødvendigheten av å følge reglene opp mot sitt ønske om å overleve koste hva det koste vil." Suzanne Collins er uansett en dreven spenningsforfatter, og det er umulig å slutte å lese." - Kristine Isaksen, VG"Unge lesere får en spennende innføring i et korrupt maktspill med klare paralleller til virkeligheten." Guri Fjeldberg, Bergens Tidene"Suzanne Collins er en dreven forteller. «Dødslekene» provoserer fremdeles frem ubehagelige etiske diskusjoner i enhver som leser. Jeg tviler ikke på at hun vil nå like mange lesere med denne mursteinsromanen." Anne Cathrine Straume, NRK"Knallgod underholdning - men ganske usmakelig." Cathrine Krøger, Dagbladet"Eg er imponert! Suzanne Collins har endå ein gong skrive ein spennande pageturner." Magnus Rotevatn, Framtida
